Okay, so I wasn't the best drummer while I was making a living at it in Bloomington, Indiana from 1969 to 1973. There were other drummers hankering for my job, but our band was working when a lot of other bands were starving.

And our package was a college party band with great dance music and lots of f...

Deciding whether to buy or rent a home is a major decision. It affects your savings and lifestyle.

Every day, people buy homes when they would be better off financially by renting. This is because, for many people, owning a home brings a sense of freedom and pride that renting cannot match. Equally, people decide to rent because of the minimal responsibility and flexibility it offers. Some leases operate on a month-to-month basis,...

While there are advantages to this arrangement, things are beginning to change back. Many families are starting to find the advantages of a multigenerational home. But this is more than just your parents and kids living under one roof. Read on to learn more about multigenerat...
