While I wait for RBC Direct Investing to admit it has my money (it left ING Direct on November 7, at the close of trading on November 15 it still isn’t in my account) I’ve had lots of time to read. Here are a few articles I found:
Ellen Roseman has pointed out a new potential threat to homeowners: door to door salespeople pushing rental furnaces. She explains in the Star at http://bit.ly/18BeVCv that the government needs to consider adding furnaces to their bill giving customers a chance to change their minds.
Michael James on Money likes Ellen Roseman’s style and it shows in his review of her book “Fight Back.” Ms. Roseman’s book discusses rental car insurance and end-of-lease charges.
Meanwhile Krystal Yee takes the car theme further with How Much Is Your Car Costing You?
The Big Cajun Man already explored how to save Money by Saving Gas. It includes useful information like “siphoning someone else’s gas is very cheap” which is true because you don’t have to pay for food or accommodation when you are in jail.
In her quest to save gas, Jessie justified buying a new car.
Hopefully when she bought it, she didn’t make any of the 7 Car Shopping Mistakes outlined by Gail Vaz-Oxlade.
I think that’s enough reading. Time to rake those leaves and turn them into methanol for the car.

Gail Vaz-Oxlade’s article has some good advice I wish I’d heard years ago when buying cars. Thanks for the mention.
Someday I should interview my brother on how he negotiates for a new car. The last time the guy gave him free trunk liner mats and the custom floor mats just to get him out of the dealership before anyone else heard what he’d got them down to. (He starts with invoice-not MSRP-and grinds them down.)
Thanks for including me this week! No this is neither Klik nor Spam (or any other prepared, canned meat).
If I can’t sing the “Spam” song, can I at least sell you something with only a bit of rat in it? (Sorry, I’m a Monty Python fan.)
