If you are debating on whether it is wiser for you to buy a home or to rent, there is a useful online calculator that can help you determine this as it does the number crunching for you. Once you have launched the Is It Better To Buy Or Rent calculator, simply input the figures specific to your situation. This calculator is also useful for folks who already own a home and would like to know how long they should be prepared to own it before it would make financial sense to buy another home, etc. In our case, the calculator suggests that buying is better than renting after 4 years.

I just received this email from a reader and wanted to share it with you so if you collected My Coke Rewards you could take advantage of the special offers. Check out the information below for more details:
“I wanted you and your readers to be the first to know about several brand new, exciting, limited-edition rewards that are available on MyCokeRewards.com. Starting this Friday, My Coke Rewards members can redeem their points for exciting football-themed prizes, such as:
If you earn a living by being a salesperson, no matter what you are trying to sell, you will be successful as long as you are willing to listen to your potential customer.

A good example of this is my experience with various dentists. As everyone knows, it can be extremely costly to get dental work done. A recent visit to a brand new dentist left me feeling overwhelmed. Rather than asking me what I wanted to do, he simply gave an excellent sales pitch on how I needed a certain treatment and that I would need to cough up thousands of dollars in order to get it done.
A friend of ours recently gave us a giant zucchini. I don’t have a lot of experience with zucchini, as I never buy it or grow it in my garden, but I didn’t want to waste it, and I know that zucchinis are great for using in all kinds of baking. So I found all sorts of different recipes online and printed them off, determined to try at least a few of them.
The following Saturday I spent a good chunk of my day baking and cooking with, you guessed it, zucchini. I found a great recipe for Zucchini Chocolate Chip Muffins from www.allrecipes.com and I made three dozen of them. I then made a delicious Zucchini Loaf from a recipe I found on www.canadianliving.com. I added chocolate chips to the loaf recipe to make it even better. I am all about adding chocolate to almost everything I bake.
