Itâs traditional as the year draws to a close â perhaps most especially a horrible one like 2020 â to take stock and tally up the wins and losses. In a year that saw far too many of the latter, permit me to weigh in with a bit of better news.
This year, The Fine Print column, which I helm, recovered at least $210,000 for consumers â more than double the result in 2019.
