Pi Day and Free Wall Street Journal Access

FYI: Today is Pi Day (No, not Pie as in Apple but Pi as in the infinity number that people like to recite to show they are smart). Also, the Wall Street Journal Online site is Free today.

Survey on workers living paycheck to paycheck:

So sad that more women than men can't live comfortably on their earnings and don't save as much. Do you live paycheck to paycheck? I do, but by choice and a very stringent savings plan.

Lessons a SFH learns at a home workshop: http://www.twincities.com/mld/twincities/living/special_packages/single_female_homeowner/16895105.htm
This is a new column I discovered that is about the viewpoint of one single female homeowner on the East coast.

Living in an Amsterdam Canal House: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/03/14/realestate/greathomes/14GH-2NDSUBAmsterdam.html?_r=1&ref=realestate&oref=slogin
It's always fun to see what kinds of home other people live in even though it might not be to everyone's taste.

Subprime Lending May Hit Capital: http://www.sacbee.com/103/story/137592.html
The old sacatomato isn't immune either.

Closing on a House, a Life Story Told in Art: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/03/14/nyregion/14artist.html?ref=nyregion
A pair of investors buy a house to renovate and gets a house full of art left behind by a previous owner. As said before, a house is not just a building, it's a home with pieces of people inside.

A subprime borrower's tale: http://money.cnn.com/2007/03/14/magazines/fortune/sanon.fortune/index.htm?postversion=2007031411
A personal tale of woe puts a qualitive face to the market's decline.

Back from the brink, poor no more: http://articles.moneycentral.msn.com/SavingandDebt/LearnToBudget/AmIPoorNotAnymore.aspx
Yay. I love happy endings about people in debt.
