Ralph Nader has no experience, he would be the last person I voted for. Time to clean up D.C. vote for the Democrats.

If you are planning on staying in your home for many years and have the cash, thermopane windows are a good investment BUT if you are planning on relocating in a few years, you will never regain that cost.

As long as Americans feel shaky about the housing crisis (even if it doesn't effect you, it can effect homes in your area) the economy will remain stagnant. Rising fuel prices are one thing - but housing effects everything we do. Your home is your biggest investment.

Hey Consumers!! Hang on to your money. Don't go for big ticket items at all. There are some more rough times ahead. Be in control of your savings and money.

More than the BIG ticket items, it's the small ticket items that impact on us because we do not keep track of them. Take for example convenience stores! Individuals that frequent convenient stores often spend more money annualy than if they purchased a large Plasma TV.

Housing prices are still inflated by 200% in many parts of the country. If you buy a home make sure it lasts 30 years. Stop that urge of getting into a 30 year mess.
