Bail Out Wrong People?

Instead of bailing out the businesses and banks, what if the $700 billion went to paying off all the mortgages for the homeowners? Wouldn't that solve both the economic and individual problems? I think if taxpayers truly had a choice, we'd vote to have our neighbors' houses paid off.

Future Looking Bright

Several years ago I worked a job for several months where they apparently invested part of my salary into an IRS. After I left and they took various fees and reductions out of the account, I have been left with 4 cents in the account. I'm very excited about this and four times a year they send me an account summary. Here's the breakdown:

Of the 4 cents:

7% is invested in Stable Value/Money Market
7% is invested in Fixed Income
33% is Balanced
20% is invested in Large Cap Stock
13% is invested in Mid Cap Stock
13% is invested in Small Cap Stock
7 % is invested in Global Stock

As you can see, my future looks bright. It's very important not to invest all your 4 cents in one place. Spread your assets around.
