    Annuities..You need one..Really

    Can this be? A friend of mine got into a Fixed Index Annuity last year. He suggested I do the same, as I would like to be able to count on taking out $800 to $1200, a month in about 10 to 15 years time. He said he gets 8% guaranteed interest yearly and they gave him a bonus to sign up. I...

    Watching the trainwreck

    You have done a lot for your son, giving him many options and chances and he does not seem to respond favorably to any of them. Obviously, he, for all intents and purposes, is like an immature 15 year old. So, I would treat him as such. I would not give or lend him money to live outside the...

    I did it!!

    LOL,.....That is true,....but the people that can sell them, can also sell many other products, and they say, a FIA is what to get when you don't want much risk, and are willing to keep this money in it for a while.

    How to talk to your parents about money?

    Well,......In my family we would have no trouble at all talking about this. Or anything else for that matter! Not that we are real close, just that is the way it is......But, it would probably be done this way: Dad starts saying something about Mom's buying habit.....I chime in with, "Yeah...

    Paying off mortgage - do I need umbrella insurance now?

    So is this something you want to get only if your house is paid off, or almost paid off? I have never heard or known of anyone losing their assets because of a law suit. Wouldn't they have to show negligence to take things away from you?

    Michael Vick wants to own a dog again

    Vick did not just fight dogs....he killed them in the most torturous way....wetting them down and electrocuting them, slamming them into the ground, drowning them......putting pet dogs into the ring with the pits, to be torn apart......This is sick behavior......And it was not just a one time...
