I rarely participate in these comments, but I really have to share my story with 1 company which has tremendously helped me. I just turned 74, many obstacles have come in the way of my retirement including a divorce a few years ago which really hurt me financially, to be honest I had this feeling that my savings and SS income were not going to be enough. Months and months of research and dealing with big banks - nothing but a big headache and they wanted to charge an arm and leg - I was considering a standard home equity loan but then I started reading about reverse mortgages. Long story short, i found this company while searching online - reverse mortgage lenders direct - they were able to automatically compare lenders for me and quote me a fantastic quote. I am not saying you need to do a reverse mortgage (for me this has been excellent and recommendable) but if you do here is their number 877 700 0534 - you can find the site online search for reverse mortgage lenders direct.

www.godottygo.com sells handmade, affordable fingerless gloves for girls and women from recycled wool sweaters--great for the cooler months, even at the office, for those of us with cold hands.... Might not be too hard to make on my own, but they've got great patterns and colors. They're called Hand Hotties, I think!

Seriously? Make my own candles and soap? Both are super cheap and time-consuming to do at home. What a waste. Maybe they can do them in between contractions, these ideas seem a little too close to OCD for me.
