Ever spend hours watching your retirement dollars go up and down with the stock market? No? Me neither….on to some favorites from this week….

Lazy Man & Money talks about the recently won $390 million dollar lottery and how if you split the winnings you could not buy that baseball team you wanted. I don’t know about any of you, but I won $5 that night and made back my money! Ok, so I can’t buy a baseball team either…..

Hear Ye Consumers – Don’t Get Ripped Off Again.

Seems the good old government wants to help you get what you deserve from companies. They are offering a Consumer Action Handbook…for free! From the site:

“Your new computer doesn’t include a warranty. The sweater you ordered online never showed up. And the new washer you bought is noisy and leaking water. If you feel like you’ve just been ripped off, take action. Order your very own copy of the 2007 Consumer Action Handbook. You can expect your new Handbook to arrive within 4 weeks.”
