What’s Divorce Like At 48? An Opportunity – What is divorce at 48? An opportunity. Grieve, heal and then run with it.

Don’t do systematic investment in short-term debt funds – This works only for longer-tenured ones such as income funds, as the element of interest rate risk is reduced

You Thought the Mortgage Crisis Was Over? It’s About to Flare Up Again – We are nearly eight years removed from the beginnings of the foreclosure crisis, with over five million homes lost. So it would be natural to believe that the crisis has receded. Statistics point in that direction. Financial analyst CoreLogic reports that the national foreclosure rate fell to 1.7 percent in June, down from 2.5 percent a year ago. Sales of foreclosed properties are at their lowest levels since 2008, and the rate of foreclosure starts—the beginning of the foreclosure process—is at 2006 levels. At the peak, 2.9 million homes suffered foreclosure filings in 2010; last year, the number was 1.4 million.
