Evanston resident Dan Brush, 74, a semiretired investment broker, is a firm believer in home sharing. For three years he has been sharing his 12-room house with another divorced man, introduced to him by a mutual friend. Although Brush is healthy and active, he appreciates having someone else around. He also saves about $3,000 a year on utility expenses. "This man had just got divorced and was looking for a new place to live, and I have a big home with a lot of space, so it seemed to make sense that we share this place...
...master list. This is an inventory of the people and institutions with whom you do business: your credit-card companies (with their phone numbers and your card numbers), mortgage servicer, broker, insurance companies, accountant and attorney.

The Kurdish fighters along this frontline are anxiously awaiting the arrival on the battlefield of U.S. bombers and ground troops - to dispatch not only Saddam and Ba'ath Party, but also Ansar and its al-Qaeda backers...
...good way to invest around the world is through a well-run global mutual fund. I would consider Oakmark Global, a no-load fund that plays the value game successfully, and broker-sold First Eagle Global, which has a good-size stake in industrial-materials stocks, the kinds that are most leveraged to a recovery. And one last but important point: some foreign funds spend money hedging against currency moves. Check yours because you don't want that. In the short term, the trend is in your favor, and long term it all evens...
