This is a mash up of tons of clips of this guy messing up and doing stupid things while working for Shop at home, and now Shop NBC. I believe his name is Eliot Smith, but he also went by a different name before or after switching networks. Its the same guy though. Just watch the whole thing and I guarantee you’ll have at least one lol moment. And don’t forget – “ONE-HUNDRED AND TWENTY EIGHT!!!”

Even though Congress increased the debt ceiling earlier this year, allowing older adults to get Social Security checks on time, seniors face financial challenges that could contribute to a bleak holiday.

In 2011, for the second consecutive year, seniors received no Social Security Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA), according to the Annual Survey of Senior Costs from The Senior Citizens League (TSCL), a senior advocacy organization. Whats more, seniors can expect to receive only a very small COLA next year, TSCL reported. Unfortunately, a downward trend is continuing for older adults. Since 2000, the COLA has increased just 31 percent, while typical senior expenses have jumped 73 percent, more than twice as fast, according to the survey.

Cuts of essential items such as food and medication should be of immediate concern to seniors families, said President and Chief Operating Officer (COO) Jeff Huber of Home Instead, Inc., franchisor of the Home Instead Senior Care? network.

Other reductions in spending can lead to less obvious issues. One of the biggest problems that we see is senior isolation, which has been magnified during this troubled time in the economy, especially considering the high price of gas, he added.

In an effort to help older adults make the most of this holiday season, the Home Instead Senior Care network offers the following money-saving tips:

1.????Consider in-home care. The costs of home care are often lower than other living options for seniors who need help. However, seniors and their families typically over-estimate that cost, according to research conducted for the Home Instead Senior Care network.

2.????Economize at mealtime. Look for affordable meal options such as Meals on Wheels? or a local senior center, which can offer both cost savings and opportunities for companionship.

3.????Get back to basics. While winter might not be a great time to garden in many parts of the country, container and potted gardens can be grown indoors year-round to deliver fresh herbs or even produce.

4.????Avoid convenience. While that might seem like a strange statement, convenience many times equates to increased cost, especially when it comes to food. Avoid convenience foods and watch for sales on fresh or canned fruits, vegetables and meats, which can be less expensive.

5.????Look for deals. It always pays to look for the best price, but no more so than with medications. Buy generic when possible. Contact a pharmacist about ways to save money on medications.

6.????Thrifting is thrifty. Just because money is tight doesnt mean that family and friends need to go without a holiday gift. Look to thrift stores for affordable gifts. Or make presents. A grandchild likely would love a recipe box of favorite family recipes and the stories that go with those dishes. Scrapbooks always are popular as well.

7.????Carpooling makes sense. If its too cold to walk, contact others going in the same direction or to the same place and share costs.

8.????Save energy. Installing weather-stripping, caulking leaky doors and windows, and installing gaskets behind outlet covers can lead to cost savings.

9.????Decorate the natural way. Go green and save money. Its amazing the beautiful holiday ornaments that can be created from pine cones and branches sprayed with silver, white or gold paint. Cranberry and popcorn garlands make pretty and affordable decorations as well.

10.????Look to the experts. Call a local Area Agency on Aging if the costs of food and gas have become prohibitive. For more information about programs and resources, contact the National Association of Area Agencies on Aging.

Family caregivers can look to the Home Instead Senior Care networks many online resources, such as the CaregiverStress.com website, to help seniors and their loved ones cope during difficult times.

Perhaps the easiest place to get started in the online world is by subscribing to America Online (800-827-3338). AOL has prepackaged an enormous amount of personal finance resources under its Personal Finance Channel button, so that you don’t have to find Web site addresses on your own.

Each center has an educational component that explains the basics and more sophisticated strategies to screen for stocks and mutual funds, or purchase home or car insurance, for example.
