Ilyce Glink Show Notes – January 10, 2010 – Unemployment and Michelle Singletary

By | January 10th, 2010|

Ilyce Glink Show Notes - January 10, 2010 - Unemployment and Michelle Singletary. Today on the Ilyce Glink Show, we discussed the dismal unemployment numbers released by the department of labor last week. Another 85,000 jobs were lost, and in an even more surprising turn, some 660,000 Americans left the job force, obviously fed up by their inability to get a job. We discuss the unemployment numbers in today's show. Award-winning, nationally-syndicated columnist Michelle Singletary joins us for a live discussion on personal finances and her new book, The Power To Prosper: 21 Days To Financial Freedom. Michelle, who is with the Washington Post, discussed her recommendation for a 21 day money fast - literally, zero discretionary spending. Want some new tools for a new decade? Sign up for my March 27, 2010 event: How to Invest Your Money Right Now. Details below.

Breaking The Lease Without Penalty May Be Impossible

By | January 4th, 2010|

Once you sign a lease for an apartment or house rental, you are responsible for fulfilling the terms of your lease. If you want to leave before the lease ends, you will usually have to pay some form of penalty. You are also responsible for any damages, according to the terms of your lease. If you have roommates, you will still be responsible for their damages to the apartment. Make sure you understand the terms of your lease because breaking the lease without penalty may be impossible.
