Dave Ramsey: Should I scold mom-in-law for spending habits?

GateHouse News Service —

Dear Dave,

Last week, my mother-in-law told my husband that they haven’t paid their property taxes yet - $3,000 was due in January. I love my in-laws, but they’re big spenders. They’ve got plenty of money and love to take lots of trips. We make good money, too, and could help them out, but we’re afraid this may be just the tip of the iceberg. What’s your advice on handling this?

Despite the economic downturn, local Hispanic bakeries and tortillerías are booming while gaining more Anglo customers.
    Prices for wheat flour and eggs — two bakery staples — have dropped, but they remain high by historical standards and future prices are uncertain, according to the Wall Street Journal.
    But Dodge City bakeries have, at least for the time being, been insulated from these up-and-down prices.
