    The Renter's Manifesto

    <p class="MsoNormal">Looking back at 2007, I can see that over the course of the year I've had my fair share of bitterness and resentment towards the Southland housing market.

    Amount of unpaid credit card bills is rising

    Big surprise. Looks like the secondary consumer bag holders are going to start taking punches. IMO credit card companies should be able to take everything American Consumers can throw at them for the crazy 30% interest that they charge.

    Tax advantages of Home ownership

    Make friends with a CPA (my best friend is one) and he/she will be able to provide you with very approximate estimates, especially if they're going to be the one filing your return. That reminds me, I need to buy another case of Widmer for my CPA this January...
