Your Two Cents: When Should Kids Stop Getting Allowance?
If you watched Gossip Girl this season you probably noticed the characters' drool-worthy clothes, gadgets, limos and upper-crusty lifestyles don't come cheap. Even though it's pure fiction, the show's depiction of a pack of wealthy New York City teenagers raises some questions about our culture's financial ideals and expectations.

While your skin might be crawling with excitement that's making you burst at the seams, be sure to exercise a bit of cautious control when you're bringing your great news into the office. The majority of engagements occur on weekends when there's plenty of time for romantic celebration, so go into Monday morning with a game plan.
Hollywood Changes to Play Along With the Economy
As Wall Street tumbles, Hollywood stumbles to rewrite scripts that feature Wall Street as it used to be. That's not to say that every film or made-for-TV-movie will be a depressing commentary on current events, but investment bankers may need career changes and relocation from Wall Street. While Gossip Girl won't change a thing about its Upper East Siders, other shows are tweaking some details.
When Does Advertising Affect Your Decisions?
Advertising must be effective for companies to continue paying the big bucks for commercial airtime, print features, and celebrity endorsements, but many consumers praise TiVo for its ability to skip commercials and wish magazines could exist without advertising covering half the pages.
Brand recognition is the most obvious effect of advertising — first-time buyers of a product are far more likely to choose a brand they know over one they don't. So although most of us don't enjoy having our favorite TV show interrupted by advertisements, they do tend to stick with us in some form.

Nigella Lawson Dishes Out Tough Love
While the chatty chef serves up generous portions on TV, off screen Nigella Lawson has been getting into tiffs with her husband about preferring not to leave the fruits of their labor to the fruits of their loins. Nigella has made it well known that she plans on leaving none (zip!) of their £100 million estate to their children. Seems like she may be taking Melinda Gates' take on inheritance to the next level?
