Yet more evidence that the recession is hitting home.

IN DESPERATE NEED OF CAMP TRAILER FOR MY FAMILY (Beaverton)

We are getting evicted and have until next Monday at midnight to be out. We have two little kids and nowhere to stay but I could definitely find somewhere to park a camp trailer. I am particularly interested in a tent trailer because we have a small SUV and can’t two a whole lot with it, but a tent trailer would be ideal. I can come up with about $400 cash to pay and can offer my services as a skilled laborer as part or whole trade for it. If someone would be willing to part with one they don’t use anymore and help out a struggling family, please give me a call and let me know. I don’t mind if it needs some work, but prefer it to be mostly in decent working order and condition.
The work I do is mostly landscaping, but have done a LOT of other skilled labor, such as furniture building, construction framing and foundations, roofing, siding, painting, general clean-up, small tree and bush removal… you name it, I have either done it already or something like it. I have a lot of useful skills and would be happy to work in trade for a camper.
My phone number is 503-995-1867.
Thanks,
Jake

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.
