Posted by Frank
April 3, 2009

The biggest expense you will ever have is taxes, which is a fortunate, but unfortunate cost.  Most of you have probably already filed your 2008 taxes and now  will not even speak the word “tax” until next year.  While I understand your distaste for the process, this is exactly what you should not do; tax [...]

Recession Rhymes
By: MYM

What is the First Time Home Buyers Tax Credit?

Posted by Frank
February 26, 2009

Congress has been blamed for pushing homeownership so much so that in part, they helped our subprime crisis evolve.  After all, it’s easy for them to turn a regulatory eye when their constituents are happy and in nice homes.  Having said that, in a desperate move to try to get people to buy homes again [...]

February 12, 2009

I saw this on an ING billboard on my way to work today and I love it.  I don’t know about you guys, but the recession-like economy is starting to show its colors.  At first, most of us just pretended it was bad, but didn’t really care.  Then, maybe we heard of a friend or [...]
