INTERVIEW AVAILABILITY Due to our family committments and a high volume of interview requests we may not be able to respond to your inquiries immediately.

The current economic situation makes our lifestyle and money saving tips very pertinent for listeners, viewers and readers. We are very involved in our kids lives and have many writing and business deadlines, as a result we are not usually available on short notice. If you give us more lead time, it makes it easier for us to say yes to your requests. We truly want to help families recover from this economic mess we are in.

Radio: Our availability varies from week to week. When requesting an interview please include the following information:

• Your Web site, interview time , length (interview lengths need to be at least 10 minutes) and if you have the capability to tape (early morning East Coast times are really rough for us)

Newspaper / Magazines: Because these interviews usually take longer than radio, and we have many writing deadlines, the more lead time you can give us the better. Please contact us with the following information:

• Name of the pubilcation, circulation, topic and your writing deadline.

TV Producers: Please email us with the name of your show, when it airs, audience size, date you want us to appear and the theme of the segment you are considering us for. The more lead time you give us to rearrange activities and our kids work schedules (if you want the kids to appear) the easier it will be for us to say yes to you.

TV Production Companies:

UPDATE 6.1.09 Steve and Annette have signed a contract with a California production company to create a reality TV show. More details will follow.

Many production companies have approached us to do documentaries or other shows "for the exposure" (i.e. without compensation). We simply cannot consider these offers. If you have a show concept and want to discuss it, please email us with the name of your company, the time frame you are working with and any other details you can share with us.

Product Endorsements: We are not available to endorse products just "for the exposure." If you are interested in having us work with your organization, please send us the folling information:

• Name of your organization, description of the product, a brief description of what activities you would like to utilize us for.

If your requests do not fall within our parameters, contact us anyway and we'll let you know if we can accomodate your schedule.

Speaking Engagements: We love to speak to groups and encourage them to take their family financial management to a new level. You can read about our many presentations here:
