<p>My husband and I just moved into our first real house. When we first got married, we were renting an apartment and then we were renting a house. Now we own a house or at least have a mortgage on one. We have been trying to cut back on various things to pay for this house and that has led to a lot of discussions. Well, let’s be honest discussions is just a nice way of saying arguments. My husband really wants me to cut back on my shopping, which is fine. I completely understand we need to compromise, however it seems like all the cut backs are with my things. I suggested cutting back on our <a href="http://www.expertsatellite.com/direct-tv/direct-tv-satellite-dish-new-york.html">ExpertSatellite</a> costs and he went crazy. I was just suggesting it and trying to make things fair, but he took offense to it. I don’t understand what the big deal is. We have hundreds of channels we don’t even watch, so I don’t understand why we need to pay for them. To me it seems like an easy decision. I guess it will continue to be in the “discussion” category. I just hope we figure it all out soon.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I think that it’s about time that congress gets smart. It seems that they are doing so by the announcement that they plan to freeze some of the money that is going to the country of Pakistan. Pakistan has repeatedly broken the rules set by the U.S. and has helped our enemies plan their attacks on innocent U.S. citizens. </p>
<p>I don’t believe that we should help this country in any way. Cutting off their funding may make them think twice about who is with them and who is not. I hope it works. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The stock market did not enjoy the holiday as well as the rest of America did. It seems that concerns over the European debt crises have left it sinking lower and lower. Many experts in the field blame a lack of capital as the main reason for the decline. It is getting really hard to borrow money these days.</p>
<p>The good news is that some areas did well. The entertainment industry made some gains as trading was a bit slow. Anyway, I hope things look better on Monday.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Spanish company Repsol announced today that they have found oil underneath the barren plains of Patagonia in Argentina. The find could represent as much as 930 million barrels of oil.  There is also reported to be a nice cache of natural gas. This news caused the companies stock to jump sharply. </p>
<p>There are still some concerns though. The oil found is mostly shale oil that is harder to extract from the ground. There are also some environmental questions to be answered. Anyway, the news sounds good so far.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While America is in a bad way as far as jobs are concerned, there are some opportunities for those with the right skills. The fastest growing area in the job market is in nursing and many people are hiring. I would suggest taking a few courses in the area if I had it all over to do again.</p>
<p>Computer people are also high on the list of employer’s wish list. If you are knowledgeable in that area, you should be able to find a job without a lot of hassle. I wish you all good luck with your futures and hope you will do well.  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sometimes in life you just get lucky. This happened to me the other day when I was doing a job at one of my client’s house. I had finished cleaning up and was about to leave when I spotted something in the driveway. It turned out to be a <a href="http://www.goldcoinsgain.com/">gold</a> ring that someone had lost. I attempted to find the owner but had no luck. I put the ring in my pocket and went on home. </p>
<p>Later, I decided to stop at a local pawnshop. It turned out the ring was worth $66 dollars for its weight in gold. I sold the ring and took the money. This got me to thinking about <a href="http://www.goldcoinsgain.com/gold-bullion-coins.html">gold bullion</a> and I decided to check it out. I went online and did some investigating on the subject of <a href="http://www.goldcoinsgain.com/gold-bullion-coins.html">bullion</a>. It seems that this is a very good investment opportunity. </p>
<p>It turns out that people who <a href="http://www.goldcoinsgain.com/gold-bullion-coins.html">buy bullion</a> are getting a great return on their investment. Those who <a href="http://www.goldcoinsgain.com/gold-bullion-coins.html">buy gold bullion</a> are making money as the price of gold seems to be going up and up as the world is in turmoil. These days, people want to know that their money is safe and gold is an excellent way to do this. I recommend that everyone look into this form of investment. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It seems that every time I turn on the news its bad. Everyone is going on about the economy and how bad it is. That has got me to thinking about my economic future and what will happen to me when I’m old. I started looking into the situation as I am a little worried. I was surprised with what I found out.</p>
<p>It turns out that the internet has a lot of good information on it. I found that by managing my own finances, I could save a lot of money. Why should I pay someone when I can do it myself? I was looking at a <a href="http://www.marketriders.com/">Do It Yourself portfolio management</a> site that gave me a lot of options that I didn’t know I had. I found that I could get <a href="http://www.marketriders.com/">Portfolio rebalancing software</a> to help me through the tough situations that were bound to come up. </p>
<p>There is always an option to get an <a href="http://www.marketriders.com/">Online Portfolio Manager</a> to give yourself the extra confidence to deal with your economic future. There is no reason to be left behind. I feel so much better now that I am in control of my future and think that everyone should at least check out the situation. I’ll bet you’ll be as glad you did as I am. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The big oil companies are having a great time lately. They have found a new way to extract the black gold from the ground. The new method is expected to increase yields where it was impractical to drill for oil before. The fields are in the middle of the country.</p>
<p>The higher production of oil is sure to help America decrease its reliance on foreign oil sources. This will be good for our country and our economy. I’m glad that new technologies are coming out all the time and making our country stronger!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The giant American car seller Ford has made great strides to become profitable. They have slashed jobs and mortgaged their trademark to raise money. They have used the money to design new products that have sold very well. They have increased profits over the last several years and have been doing very well. </p>
<p>The problem is that the stock market doesn’t see it that way. Stock in the company plummeted lately when their profits didn’t meet expectations. While they have made a nice profit, investors wanted more. I think investors should be realistic when buying stock and not expect record profits every year.  </p>

This has led many economists to believe that the economy is still improving and that people are becoming more confident about the future. Job seekers are happy to hear the news as well.</p>
<p>The economy is growing and expanding, just not as fast as economist would like. I think the economy is getting better and I hope it continues to improve. I am lucky to have the good job that I do and I hope others will become as lucky as I. </p>
