Dear Bank of America,
I closed my checking and savings accounts today, because I heard that Bank of America foreclosed on a Florida couple who did not even have a mortgage loan through B of A. When this couple sued you and won, your company stiff-armed them and refused to pay the court judgment. The couple then foreclosed upon one of your branches in an attempt to recover the judgment and their costs.
When I think about how stupid someone would have to be to foreclose on someone who does not have a mortgage loan, it boggles the mind. Not only is it indicative of appalling ignorance and lack of true customer service ethics, it is a clear sign that your company is being run by criminals.
When I went into the branch today to close my accounts, I heard that you have now decided to close the local branch in order to save money; no doubt, you need to save that money because of the way you have been pissing away cash by financing bogus mortgages. Now the decent and friendly people at my local branch who have been serving this community for up to 20 years will soon be looking for work rather than having to drive many miles to work at the nearest remaining branch. I commiserated with them and wished them all well. They have been loyal to your company and to people like me for years, and they are being shafted by snot-nosed crooks (probably with freshly-minted MBAs) in the higher echelons of your criminal enterprise.
I took my cash and went home only to see that your dumber-than-a-box-of-rocks online banking system had sent me an email stating that my account was now empty and had fallen below the minimum $25 balance. Amazing deduction, Sherlock! I closed the account!
I am now sorry I ever allowed myself to associate with your company, for it enabled people of no character to conduct business with my cash, which, you can bet, you will never see again. I will tell everyone I know of my experience and urge them to put their money in reputable institutions which do not attempt to extort money from innocent victims.Dear Bank of America,

Cars are terrible. Sure, they can be sleek and beautiful, and there's a certain inspiration to the designs. But ultimately, cars are crazy expensive. They constantly depreciate, they brake down at inopportune times, and they become the focal point of your life. Cars can be even more of a burden when the economy's flagging and gas prices start to go up. Here are some ways to save money on Gas.

The Baby Boom generation‘s dreams continue to fade. Their home prices have been devastated to price levels first attained 6-8 years ago. This decline in value has in many cases eliminated their principal value invested in their home–historically a dominant element of retiree net worth.
Simultaneously is the wake-up call of their 401k real values. Over the past decades, the 401k defined contribution plan has replaced the more traditional defined benefit plans. Increased life expectancy, the risk of funding defined benefits, and the combined impact on the overall cost of defined benefit plans have made these plans nearly extinct.The Baby Boom generation‘s dreams continue to fade.

"What's Fresh: Trying to save money? 15 foods you don’t need to buy organic
Although I enjoy the grocery store (maybe it’s because I’m a dietitian that I love checking out new products and comparing food labels), lately my husband is doing our grocery shopping.
His budget-friendly buys are great for our bank account. But they don’t always align with my interest in eating organically. We don’t buy everything organic, but pesticides can be absorbed into fruits and vegetables, leaving trace residues, and I’d prefer to not eat pesticides. Long-term exposure to them has been associated with cancer, infertility and neurologic conditions, such as Parkinson’s. (Here are 4 ways to reduce your exposure to pesticides.)
Anyway, one day he called me from the produce aisle. Andy wanted to know what on the list he truly needed to buy organic and what he could skimp on and buy conventional. (Does organic produce have more nutrients? Find out here.)
Fortunately, the Environmental Working Group (EWG, a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization) has identified 15 fruits and vegetables that are least likely to be contaminated with pesticide residues. I told him to save money and buy those conventional:
Asparagus
Avocado
Broccoli
Cabbage
Eggplant
Kiwi
Mango
Onions
Papaya
Pineapple
Sweet corn (frozen)
Sweet peas (frozen)
Sweet potatoes
Tomatoes
Watermelon
(Save even more money with these dinner recipes for $3 or less per serving.)
EWG also identified 12 fruits and vegetables that are most likely to have higher trace amounts of pesticides. (If your budget allows, buy these 18 foods organic too.) We buy organic:
Apples
Carrots
Celery
Cherries
Grapes (imported)
Kale
Lettuce
Nectarines
Peaches
Pears
Sweet bell peppers
Strawberries
Do you buy organic? What foods do you think it’s worth to save on and which do you spend more on for organic?
By Brierley Wright, M.S., R.D."
I have an Avocado tree anyway, so I'm getting organic still. I say, the fresher you can get your fruit, the better. Especially since distributors pick and ripen the product on the way to the market.
Can you guys taste the difference between Organic vs. Conventional vs. Backyard garden?
I remember eating these strawberries from my back yard that were sort of strange tasting. Good, but kinda weird.
The thin skinned stuff makes sense to buy organic if you can."What's Fresh: Trying to save money? 15 foods you don’t need to buy... more

The Italian government squanders are so numerous that it is difficult to count them all. They spent 184 million euros to buy a flu vaccine that was totally useless. Novartis obtained a contract from the Italian government with no possibility of refund that is very advantageous to the company, to say the least. The National Audit Office had complained in vain on the secrecy of the contract. It must have been entirely accidental that the wife of the minister who has signed it, Sacconi, is director of the Pharmaceutical industrial association.
