Residential Real Estate, with Elizabeth Razzi
Listen
October 7, 2000
Buying a home seems to be getting more complicated every day. In some parts
of the country, sellers are able to command premium prices as buyers compete
for available homes. And high prices are forcing some buyers to wonder if homeownership
is worth the expense. Elizabeth Razzi keeps her eye on residential real estate
for Kiplinger's Personal Finance magazine, and she'll join Chris Farrell
to take calls on this edition of Sound Money.

529 Plans, with Joseph Hurley
Listen
October 21, 2000
Paying for college has recently become less onerous, thanks to the Federal government's
Education IRA and especially the new state-sponsored 529 plans, which allow
money to grow tax-deferred until used for college expenses. While Education
IRAs are limited to an annual contribution of $500, 529 plans are more generous
in their limits. Even if your state doesn't sponsor one, you may be able to
set one up elsewhere. Joseph Hurley, CPA, is the author of The Best Way to
Save for College: A Complete Guide to Section 529 Plans, and he'll be a
guest on this edition of Sound Money to explain how the plans work.

The Coming Internet Depression, with Michael Mandel
Listen
October 28, 2000
The economic rules really have changed, says Michael J. Mandel, economics
editor at Business Week magazine. There really is a New Economy. And it's
precisely because the rules have changed that the next economic downturn
will be far more severe than expected, adds the author of The Coming
Internet Depression. The strengths that drive the New Economy, from the
dominance of venture capital to the rapid pace of innovation to the
flexibility of the work force, will come back to haunt us when the downturn
begins. Mandel will join Chris Farrell on this edition of Sound Money to
talk about why he believes a severe downturn is imminent and how you can
judge when it's coming. He will also share some ideas on investors,
workers, and businesses can not only survive the bad times but also prosper
in the long recovery that will follow.
