Savvy Senior

It's Re-evaluation Time for Medicare Part D Beneficiaries

Dear Savvy Living,

I have been using the same Medicare prescription drug plan for four years now but my pharmacist told me I need to switch to a different plan that fits my needs better. What's the best way to do this?


Washington Hotline

Expanded Homebuyer Credit Bill Passes

By a vote of 98-0 in the Senate and 403-12 in the House, Congress passed the Worker, Homeownership and Business Assistance Act (WHBAA). It is expected that President Obama will sign the legislation next week.


Finances

Whole Foods Turns Corner

Whole Foods Market, Inc. reported this week that it had "turned the corner," posting a rise in fourth-quarter profits. The company reported sales for the quarter increasing by 3% to $1.8 billion.

Treasurys Fall on Fed Comments

Treasurys fell this week following an optimistic report on the economy by Federal Reserve officials. The Federal Open Market Committee ("Fed") issued a press release stating that information it had received since its September meeting suggests that economic activity has continued to "pick up."

Long-Term Mortgages Hit New Low

Freddie Mac reported the 30-year fixed rate mortgages (FRM) dropping below 5% this week. The 30-year FRM averaged 4.98%, down from last week when it averaged 5.03%. Last year at this time, the 30-year FRM averaged 6.20%.

 

I know we should be thankful all of the time, but there is something about November, with Thanksgiving upon us, that gently reminds me of this fact.

 

So what are you thankful for today?  Remember to count your blessings today and every day.

 

 

Building a Tradition of Giving,
