Since Summer 2004, outgoing Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan has been raising interest rates on a regular basis since hitting its low point of just 1 . Now at 4 , Greenspan is expected to raise rates two more times before exiting office in January 2006. Will the higher rates stave off inflation. Will the new Chairman continue Greenspan s incremental adjustments upward or will he let rates level off. Speculation is rampant but there is one thing you can know for sure: you will pay more for many of life s expenses.

The kitchen, with all its appliances, gadgets and heat, is a real hotspot for potential energy saving. As the oven uses the most energy and creates a vast amount of heat while cooking foods, it is a good place to start. For instance, when baking cookies use two trays. While one is in the oven baking, the other one is prepped with raw cookies ready to replace the tray in the oven with no wasted heat and some time saved. When we bake bread we also fill the oven with foil wrapped potatoes. The potatoes can be stored in the fridge without the foil and used throughout the week in a myriad of recipes, or as a side dish. This method can be applied to a menu plan in that if you are baking one dish, try to include a side dish that is baked as well. By turning off the oven a minute or two before the dish is done, the residual heat will finish the cooking. When done with the oven, open the door to allow any leftover heat to warm the home. Pasta cooking water can be left out until it has completely cooled so that the heat and moisture are released back into the air. Before pulling the plug, consider leaving hot dishwater and bath water until it cools. Why pay to heat up your sewer pipes. When...

Short-term thinking. I talked to a man who paid 700 per month in rent when a nicer place was available for 550. Why did he do it. The 700 apartment required no deposit, but the cheaper place required a 450 deposit, so he would have had to save 1,000 instead of 700 to move in. Due to his short-term thinking, he now pays 1,800 more for rent each year. Though short term thinking got this man into his situation, and he didn t have the 300 extra, he still could have gone to the pawn shop and raised the money. It would have cost very...
