What if My Business Has An Unneeded Life Insurance Policy?
Many business owners, for whatever reason, find that life insurance policies that once met their business needs no longer do. Traditionally, these people have had only two options: lapse the policy with nothing to show for the premiums that they have paid, or if the policy [...]

The Cost of Living in Los Angeles and California
One thing we knew before heading out to Los Angeles/California is the cost of living is higher out here. They say the little things add up and this is certainly true when it comes to living in the La-La Land.

Whether as victim or ‘aggressor’, being involved in a car accident is never a pleasant thing.

The simple [...]
Health proposal for Budget 2009
Frank Portelli
Once again I raise my head above the parapet, at the risk of attracting the usual snipers who are always ready to shoot new ideas down.

A step in [...]

Where’s My Bailout?
So my 401k has dropped about 50% of its value over the last couple of months. Big deal. The only reason it was as high as it was is that I started out buying stocks in 2001 after the last crash. As far as I’m concerned, this is just another opportunity to increase our investments [...]

Ask Jesse the Artist
Instead of focusing on Joe the Plumber and his tax phobia’s, perhaps the presidential candidates should talk to Jesse the Artist and ask him or her about health insurance. On Sunday, October 19th, I visited the Bethesda Row Arts Festival in Bethesda, Maryland. I did just that. In a very unscientific survey, I talked to [...]
Update on the Dogs
I confirmed with Animal Control that both dogs were collected yesterday.
They also told me that the owner is planning on following all of the requirements in order to get them back!

Even a few years ago, a Fort Wayne physician laying out an impassioned argument for national health insurance – at the Greater Fort Wayne Chamber of Commerce, no less – might have seemed like an elaborate put-on.
Dr. Jonathan Walker, a retinal surgeon, wasn’t kidding anyone. In his own highly [...]
