Hi All, 

I just saw this posting.  Evidently some bloggers are speculating that the reason Bush is asking for the second half of the 700 billion bailout is…get this – to shore up Citigroup’s financial situation before the Obama administration can get involved.  The implication is that George W. wants the money for Citi before Obama’s crew can slap a lot of restrictions on corporate welfare.

The reason Obama is going along with Bush is his staff thinks it makes more sense to take office with congress on the new administrations side, rather than engender ill will with a fight before he takes power.

My take: I just wish these guys would get out of the way and let free markets do their work.  

Best,

James

MANAGE YOUR MONEY TOGETHER

Here are some simple guidelines for DINKS to build wealth:

1) Collaborate: Meet regularly to talk about money, set goals together, track and monitor them.

2) Understand and respect your partner. Take time to understand your partners values about money.

3) Watch the numbers. Get a budget, monitor your spending and track your net worth.

4) Max your retirement. Maximize contributions to your tax deferred retirement accounts.

5) Invest in stock. Stocks perform better than bonds or cash.

6) Avoid high interest debt. Credit cards and title loans are financial cancer.

7) Diversify. Don't put all your eggs in one basket.
