...Say you want to drive some hot number off a dealer's lot this afternoon, perhaps a higher-priced, geeked-out cruiser you might not be able to afford. Despite all the sales rebates, leasing is still a viable alternative. It's not as popular as it was among manufacturers, whose bad arithmetic cost them a fortune a few years back.

...Being a conscious parent is so important - being able to connect with both your strengths and your vulnerabilities before you start working with your child. Like on an airplane, they say to put your own air mask on before you put one on your child. Know yourself before you start to parent...
