| Five Ways to Offset Education Costs |
|
Saying that college is very expensive is
nearly a humorous understatement. College
tuition, fees, and living costs can be
astronomical, and they are rising faster than
the overall rates of inflation and income.
The Federal government offers some help with
tax credits, deductions, and savings plans.

| Sales Lessons from the Westminster Dog Show |
|
This year another Scottish Terrier won
Best in Show.
Why is it that Sadie is the 8th Scottish
Terrier to win since Westminster started in
1907 while other breeds have produced no top
dogs?
It's the same reason that IBM and
Microsoft are top dogs of their world. Find
out from the story below how to get on top
of your industry's dog pile.
Pictured is partner Geoffrey Kulik's show
girl, Lilliput's Royal Munchkin of Wagsmore
(aka: SeQueL). She's a miniature long hair
dachshund who is starting her show career.
Congratulations to SeQueL for placing as
Reserve Winners Bitch Monday at the Santa
Clara Valley Kennel Club show.

Should You Convert Your IRA to a Roth IRA? |
|
|
|
When you withdraw your money from Roth IRAs
in retirement, that money is tax free. On the
other hand, distributions from traditional
IRAs will be
taxed as income.
This difference has many people considering
converting their traditional IRAs into Roth
IRAs. They are willing to pay taxes now (or
spread out to 2012) for the opportunity to
pay no taxes later.
But, does converting to a Roth make sense?
Unfortunately, the answer is a resounding
"It depends". Read the article and find out why.
