“Born in Leavenworth, Kansas, Alan Tripp followed in the footsteps of his mother, a newspaper reporter, and began his career with The Chicago Daily News. Moving to New York, Tripp, then age 20, cadged a job as news broadcaster on radio station WMCA. His writing skills brought him jobs as a copywriter for a New York advertising agency and columnist for Printer’s Ink, an ad business trade journal.

In 1946, following four years of service in the Army Signal Corps during World War II, Tripp became President of the Philadelphia-based ad agency, Bauer, Tripp & Foley where he produced live weekly television musicals and built a national reputation for creativity with ads such as the “Choo-Choo Charlie” commercials for Good & Plenty candy in which a little boy firmly believed himself to be a locomotive engine. The cast of that commercial was notable: Jason Alexander played Charlie and Patty Duke played his girl friend.”

I’ve always been a big saver minimum 15% to maxing out my 401k since I graduated college. I’m married to someone who thinks 6% is enough and likes $$$ cars. Other than the cars, they dont really spend money. For the married 🐠, how do you have the conversation with them that what they are doing isn’t enough? I try to guide them and say you want the $$$ cars but the salary you have won’t get there and you’re going to have to find a job that gets them the salary…. Then the fight starts.
