This one’s for you!

Family

Chelsea Prescotti presents How Children Can Impact Your Tax Situation | CreditScore.net posted at CreditScore.net, saying, “Children have tremendous tax implications for parents. Typically, the implications are favorable for the parent, as conditions associated with having children qualify the parents for certain exemptions and tax credits. This is a good thing, considering how expensive raising a child can be for parents. From diapers to diploma, children cost their parents far more than Uncle Sam provides in credits and exemptions. Without those tax breaks, some parents might have to consider asking their children for a refund on all those years of allowances, not to mention student loan payments, first cars, and that envious Senior trip to Europe.”

General

Theresa Torres presents Why Baby Boomers Should Embrace Social Media | Babyboomers.com posted at Babyboomers.com, saying, “Let me share with you the top reasons why Baby Boomers should make social media a part of their lives.”

Patricia Oaklief presents Shared Housing for Boomer Women Rising ? Think Golden Girls posted at Amigram (Free Online Announcements) Blog, saying, “Some single boomer women are choosing to live together, similar to what they did during their college years. Only this time, instead of sharing a rented rat trap house, it could be a home with six master bedrooms, each with its own bathroom. If not multiple master bedrooms, it is most likely a home in a nicer area with perhaps amenities she could not have afforded on her own because expenses are shared with four or five other women. It's friends of a certain age helping each other.”

MaryLou Walston presents Top 5 Reasons to Stay Out of Foreclosure posted at Mortgage Rates, saying, “A common misconception about foreclosure is that, once the process is done, the former homeowner is off the hook for the remaining balance of the mortgage. Nothing could be further from the truth.”

Dr Swartz presents Best Weight-Loss Apps for a New You in 2012 posted at Weight Loss Diet Forum, saying, “For a number, the holiday season means overindulging: Eating too much, drinking a lot, exercising substandard and not just getting enough sleep. It's usually fun while it lasts, but eventually reality sets in in addition to the fresh Year, thinking that spurs us to turn over the new leaf.”
