Maybe there's a connection and maybe not, but we weren't surprised when our friends at Bankrate.com made this suggestion to appliance shoppers: go basic. Read more...

GE Washer/Dryer -- Catherine of Guanacaste. Costa Rica

"It seems GE has decided to send these defective models to Central America. As I speak now, I have a flood in the laundry room due to a defective transmission on a washer that is less than 3 years old. Of course parts aren't available here.

Why Pinch Pennies?

Consumer reporter Elisabeth Leamy thinks a lot of financial advice we hear everyday is off-base: Give up the morning latte, take cold showers, pack your lunch. Who needs it, she asks, when you could save many thousands of dollars by concentrating on the really major expenses that account for the biggest portion of our budget. Or as Elisabeth puts it, "Pinching $1,000 bills beats pinching pennies."

“Why give up life’s little pleasures and conveniences,” Leamy asks, “when you can save much more money by attacking a few BIG, boring expenses instead?” Read more

Good News, Bad News
