		<title>Manufactured Homes &#8212; Worth It?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Have you noticed that when you search on the web for retirement communities, you will usually find a large number of &#8216;manufactured&#8217; home developments?
I&#8217;ve always had the impression that a &#8216;manufactured&#8217; home is kinda like a mobile home that has no wheels and isn&#8217;t designed to be mobile. What is your impression? Does anyone out [...]]]></description>

		<title>Almost there!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Retirement &#8212; I&#8217;m almost, but not quite there yet. Eligible, but yet ready.
So, the flyer on the cafeteria wall grabs my attention and embeds itself in the &#8220;interested section&#8221; of my consciousness. I&#8217;m hooked by an idea. &#8220;Join your coworkers on a bus trip To go shopping in New York City.&#8221;
Hey! We can practice being [...]]]></description>

		<title>Food Ripoffs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

Okay. Let me continue my rant on  food rip-offs . . .
The other morning I put an 8 lb bone-in  ham and 1 cup of granulated brown sugar into a crock-pot and let it  bake all day and came home looking forward to a delicious dinner. And  we did. But, I [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Tasty Hobby &#8212; That Pays!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A few years ago, my son, who is a writer/editor for a magazine, mentioned that he was evaluating a small-batch coffee roaster for an article he was writing about the ubiquitous brew. Being a coffee connoisseur (at least in my own mind), I paid close attention to what he wrote. Months later, after I had [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cheap Eats . . . Mangia!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You&#8217;ve really got to be creative to eat on the cheap and enjoy it. Make yourself aware of the bargains that abound and you&#8217;ll walk away satisfied &#8212; even stuffed &#8212; with excellent victuals.
A frequent example, one that&#8217;s pretty well available country wide, is Olive Garden&#8217;s all-you-can-eat soup and salad, on their lunch menu. Not [...]]]></description>

		<title>2 Ways of Cutting Your Cable Bill</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I signed up for a special package deal through my cable company 25 months ago: Cable, Phone and Internet for only $99 per month for two years. It seemed like such a great deal at the time, since the alternatives were either slower or more expensive and one check to one provider seemed so attractive. [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Reward of Patience</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve learned one thing as I&#8217;ve aged . . . to be patient!  As I sit here at the airport, I reflect on how I saved some precious bucks by waiting for Southwest Air to have one of their fantastic &#8220;Fare Sales&#8221;. My reward was to buy a round trip ticket from Philly to Raleigh [...]]]></description>

		<title>Southern Fried . . . Water?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;d noticed for quite some time that when I cook chicken, if I fry it, it spatters like crazy and makes a mess of my stove (and most other nearby surfaces). It&#8217;s been one of those things that kind of creep up on you: I realized the other day what a mess it made and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Eating on the Cheap</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We used to spend a good hour of each evening, after returning home from our jobs, preparing our evening meals. Saturdays and Sundays, we often spent more time preparing more elaborate meals. Think about it . . . over a year&#8217;s time, that amounts to at least 465 hours each year, considering the extra hundred [...]]]></description>

		<title>Retirement: It&#039;s What Happened While I Was Planning Something Else!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve often heard it asked: “If you don’t plan on where you are going, how will you know when you get there?” I&#8217;ve also heard it said that, “If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail.” Many of us approach life’s major transitions without any sort of planning; we just let life happen [...]]]></description>
