The economy has been on my mind a lot these days. If you haven’t heard these two programs from This American Life yet, I recommend them. They spell out very clearly what happened with the housing market and what is happening with the bailout.
This one is about the Housing Market.
This one is about the Bailout.

These two episodes of This American Life really gave me a lot of perspective on the depth of this event. I think it’s going to be one that our children’s children speak of in their time.

I happened to hear one on the radio and listened to the other online – they really are fantastic and informative! Looking forward to hearing more about your upcoming projects and PYT club memberships!

I’ve been doing just that, saving my pennies (and dollars). You’d be surprised how much it adds up after a few weeks. My husband and I have managed to save hundreds of dollars this year in this way.
