Late = Tale

Thank goodness for copy and paste as that is all that I do with the questions and answers from my not so secret source :haha:
1. Change one letter in the name of a magazine all about you to find a magazine about money.

Sheesh, I find these questions too difficult
1. Is the 2nd magazine The Economist?
2. Flower-loving drunkards? Too cryptic for me
How about some more TOM SWIFTY ones ... :cheeky:

Dude, which letter would you change in Economist to get a magazine all about you? (is Egonimist a magazine?)
