Money Then and Now
May 11, 2008 – 5:37 pmI have heard more than once from people of the baby boomer generation, that growing up, their Mother either didn’t work or only worked part time. They lived well, not elaborate, but fine. Now you either need one really good income, lots of overtime hours worked, multiple jobs or, more easily, two incomes, to live [...]

Employment Tips For The Recession

Imports are down 2.9% from February to March, exports are down 1.7% in the same time frame. [...]
Own or Rent
May 10, 2008 – 4:50 amI am looking to buy a house.
I came across this great article that makes you think to be sure you are choosing the right option for your situation.
This came directly from the News and Observer Parade:
“Before the housing boom went bust this year, homeownership was considered a good investment. But now, with the rash [...]
Hillary and Obama Gas Tax Debate
May 4, 2008 – 5:00 pmHillary wants to temporarily and minimally reduce gas prices by putting a cap on the gas tax. This sounds great to people in need right now. Obama wants to create alternative fuels, which would help us out in the long run and he does not support the temporary and minimal relief that Hillary is calling [...]
Rent
April 26, 2008 – 5:00 pmThe buildings I am in were built in the 1980’s, the appliances are new and they have great service, when you need something they fix it right away.

April 26, 2008 – 5:00 pmhttp://www.whyworkforever.org/assets/WaterPower.wmv
Water turned into a fuel? I didn’t believe it either. This genius idea is one step closer to alleviating our dependence on oil. Full electric and hybrid cars along with water fuel proves to me that anything can be done. Maybe someday we will have vehicles that can run on multiple types of fuel and [...]

My Roomba 535 Review
April 20, 2008 – 5:00 pmI’ve had my Roomba 535 for about 4 months now. I never owned or knew anyone that owned the older models, but the new 500 series, from what I’ve read, has really improved from the older version.
My 535 is in the lower-middle area of the Roomba 500 series and I have only seen the Roomba [...]
What People Make
April 20, 2008 – 5:00 pmThere doesn’t seem to be a middle-class. When you find out how much people make you notice that you’re either rich or poor. Now I’m not saying that everyone is poor, as in poverty, where you can’t live..but compared to the other income spectrum - we aren’t that wealthy, financially. What you do with [...]
