I am a widow and am not able to pay fully for the wedding. Her fiance's par- ents keep adding to the guest list but have not offered to con- tribute any money. I live within my means and do not believe that you should spend money you do not have, especially for one day. I would much prefer that they have a small wedding and use the money they would be spending on the wed- ding to purchase a house, but my daughter won't listen to me. Is there anything you could suggest to help me get her to see the light? I am afraid that they are taking on more than they should. -- Ellen, e-mail Dear Ellen: You need to deter- mine the specific amount that you can afford to help with the wedding and then hand the money to her. If you have been paying for things already, add it all up and compare that with what you have determined to be your budget for this event. Whatever that number is, stick to it. Make sure she knows that when it's gone, it's gone and there will be no more -- not one penny more. Don't let her wrangle you into handing over your credit card or making her a loan, either. Then take a hands-off approach. Be loving and cordial, and show up at the wedding looking your finest. I know it's difficult to sit back and allow people we love to make what we believe are regret- table financial mistakes, but you have no other choice. You need to depend on the financial lessons you taught her when she was under your authority. However they choose to pay for the event is not your prob- lem. Let it go so you can enjoy the day. Dear Mary: I would appre- ciate more information on how to start an education fund at Share- Builder. You gave me the great idea of saving my loose change and using it to start a fund. My grand- son is turning 1 soon. -- Sang, e-mail Dear Sang: It was very easy. I went to http://www.Share- Builder.com and clicked on "Open an Account." From there, I had several options for what kind of investment account this would be ("General Investing," "Retirement" or "For a Child"). I chose "General Investing" because I decided to trade any tax savings for the ability to control this account and use it in any way we want to use it, not being restricted by the rules of edu- cation savings accounts. However, you might want to opt for an ESA. There are several forms you need to fill out. Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate want your trade to happen in real time or you are OK with a delay of several days. The current volatility of the market is extremely high. However, I believe that with our lit- tle ones, time is on our side. We have plenty of time to make up for any market corrections. Dear Mary: If your credit card is canceled (for something other than being lost or stolen), does that affect your credit score? -- Karen, e-mail Dear Karen: Any changes in your credit file will impact your credit score, usually in a negative way. How bad that hit will be depends on the circum- stances for the cancella- tion. It's a lot worse for it to be canceled for bad pay- ment history than it is for you to cancel it because Once your account is open, you can either transfer funds electroni- cally (if you use online banking) or send a check to ShareBuilder to fund the account. There is no mini- mum requirement. Once the funds are in place, you simply go to the "Trade" tab on your ShareBuilder account to place a trade, i.e., buy or sell shares of stock, mutual funds or exchange-traded funds. The site offers lots of help for novice investors. Each trade costs $4.95- $9.95, depending on whether you ter of the California Native Plant Society will hold its general meeting at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 3 at Butte County Library in Chico.

Regardless, you're likely to notice a drop in your score for at least a few months -- much longer if the prob- lem was your paying late or going over your limit. You could notice a drop of 100 points or more or only a few, depending on the circum- stances. You can learn more about your credit scores at http://www.myFICO.com. Do you have a question for Mary?
