Recently I got a call from my attorney that you really don’t want to get. No, I didn’t lose a law suit. Instead, his office was broken into, and part of the records stolen include my credit card info.
So the question is, how to deal with this - and how to prepare for the next time this happens. (If you assume your credit card info will never be stolen, you are taking a risky gamble. I’m rather careful with my personal data and still have to cancel my cards about once every five years).
First, calm down. While it’s annoying, you’re not on the hook for large amounts of money. Federal law limits your liability to $50. Still, it’s a good idea to notify your credit card company immediately. Usually, they cancel your card the moment they receive your call, but if you want to be safe, follow up with a letter.

That’s a question that I need answered before I will commit to buying - after all, what’s the point of buying if it breaks the bank in the long run?
There are plenty of factors to take into account - inflation, investment earnings, mortgage rates, HOA dues, and tons more. Sitting down and doing math sounds rather unappealing and dry. Instead I looked for tools to help me make that decision.
That’s when I ran across HotPads . They have a very handy heatmap to give you a ...

Today is a wonderful day in California. Hundreds of couples finally got their permission to marry each other. It’s wonderful to see people who’ve been living together for 55 years can finally marry.
