Yes, I haven’t blogged since Monday when I wrote about entertainment deals during the recession.

Frankly, I can’t believe that you opinionated, resourceful people don’t have more ideas for fun in recessionary times. Or are you keeping them to yourself? That’s not very Kit Kittredge of you.

I wish my excuse for not blogging was some tropical vacation, but all I can say is that I was nose to the grindstone working on stories about financial service company execs in Aspen and Arizona, an oft-used credit score that will be unavailable to consumers come Feb. 14, working on next week’s Dollar Duo about setting a budget for Valentine’s Day (Tune in Tuesday to find out whether most people think it’s unromantic or sensible in this economy), and Twittering every dull penny I’ve spent this week.

Now I’m turning my attention to companies that are suspending their 401(k) matches in light of this economy. Big companies are making the choice to cut expenses by cutting their matches at a time when workers are feeling bushwhacked by the stock market. If any of you work for a company that’s suspended its match, let me know.
