What's Labor Got to Do with It?
The Impact of the Job Market on the Housing Market
Being unemployed,
under-employed, or afraid of losing a job is never easy. One of the
first things many people do in these situations is batten down the
hatches and minimize their spending. Certainly, the last thing on their
minds is making a major purchase like a house. It's just not a
commitment that most people are willing to make when they lack
confidence in their financial stability.

By Kirk Leins
The holidays have come
and gone, and we are well on our way into a brand new year. I realize

crazy months marked by decadent eating.

New Rules for Light Bulbs Mean Lower Electric Bills
As federal energy provisions kick in, it means the end for inefficient light bulbs.
By Pat Mertz Esswein, Kiplinger.com
Chalk it up to progress,
pollution control and energy security. In January, as more provisions
of the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 kick in, Thomas
Edison's brilliant invention, the incandescent light bulb, had to shape
up or ship out. The old-style bulb is targeted for obsolescence
because it converts just 10% of the electricity it uses into light and
radiates the rest as heat.

Pet Insurance
Health Plans for Fido and Fluffy
Do you think of your pets
as members of your family? Considering their propensity for affection
and devotion, it's rather hard to feel otherwise. So, it's safe to say
that you want the best for your animals, with the hope of ensuring their
well-being for as long as you possibly can. Did you know that health
insurance might be the key to making that happen?
