Consumer Sundays: Free money, the Fed bailout and you, Watchdog updates
Great googly moogly! Thank goodness it's finally Friday.
What a week we've had filled with technological innovation, devastating market losses, worried consumers and investors around the world, and lots of talk about state cutbacks here at home to education, healthcare and public safety (although, i gotta say, I'm not crazy about solving our money woes through slots).
It's enough to send you over the edge, isn't it? But that would be most tragic, not just because you'd be dead, but also because you'd miss all the great consumer stories we've got waiting for you on Sunday. (heheh. I kid, you silly monkeys.)
Eileen's personal finance column will focus on what tax breaks are in store for we consumers in the $700 billion bailout/rescue (whichever you prefer to call it) package just passed by Congress.
And Liz will maybe make you feel a little tear in her Watchdog story this week as she updates you on prior queries she's tackled.
Also, as an added bonus for readers since we do love you guys so, look for the wonderful Lorraine Mirabella in our Biz Department's Sunday Money & Life section where she tells you how to save more than $1,000 doing a few simple things. Who couldn't use a grand right now, huh?
So don't jump just yet, dears. Tune in Sunday.
