Last year, however, I shocked myself and decided to purchase one while on vacation with my daughter. http://www.momlogic.com/2009/07/are_timeshares_a_rip-off.php http://www.momlogic.com/2009/07/are_timeshares_a_rip-off.php Mon, 13 Jul 2009 13:46:56 -0800 I'm going to let you in on a little secret: The real estate market has gone down. http://www.momlogic.com/2009/06/paying_too_much_for_property_taxes.php http://www.momlogic.com/2009/06/paying_too_much_for_property_taxes.php Mon, 29 Jun 2009 12:57:24 -0800 We've all heard about the "deadbeat dads" who deserve every bit of the bad rap they get, so this week I decided to take a closer look at how child support guidelines are determined, where the flaws are, and whether or not they are fair.
