April 16, 2008 at 12:20 pm ET With the housing market in a bit of a slump and interest rates low, I thought it would be a good time to buy my first home. I am planning on buying a condo in the next few months.

April 8, 2008 at 11:46 am ET The current state of the dollar has made international vacations much more difficult. 4 years ago, I went to London for vacation.

April 7, 2008 at 11:24 am ET I filed my taxes the other day. I actually had most of my taxes already done almost a month ago, and just finished up some details.

From AskDong - view blog entries - visit this blog
April 4, 2008 at 11:45 am ET A few weeks ago, I took over management of my parents rollover IRA plans (rolled over from 401ks).

From AskDong - view blog entries - visit this blog
April 3, 2008 at 10:28 am ET Most Americans including myself assume that we’ll retire. We think of retirement as natural stage of our lives, not too different from puberty.

April 2, 2008 at 11:45 am ET April and the 1nd Quarter of 2008 started off with bang. All three major U.S. Indexes were up well over 3%. My investments were up as well, just not quite as much. My portfolio given the hedges has a better relative performance when the market is down. However, I won’t complain too much about the [...] ...
