In this economy, plenty of people have lost it all and are starting over, even in some the wealthiest towns in the country. Meet a former publisher and investor who is looking for something new in tony Greenwich, Connecticut.
If you think the Great Recession has been tough on middle-aged workers, just try being in your 20s. According to the latest data, adults 25-34 have an unemployment rate of 10.8%, nearly a full point higher than the all-age average. For 20- to 24-year-olds, the figure spikes to a staggering 15.6%....
I recently wrote about my latest plan for averting financial disaster by selling one of the two vital organs currently processing urine and regulating electrolytes and homeostatic function on each side of my abdomen. After all, in these times, we all need to find ways to cut back. Of course, I...
In my last installment, I entertained the notion of opening a medical marijuana store in the New York City suburb my wife and I call home. This week, while we wait for the New Jersey legislature to finalize the legality of that option and as I begin year two in what is now semi-officially the...

If ever a business should be suffering right now, it's Classic Car Club Manhattan. It's one of those concepts that only could have been dreamed up during the vroom-vroom years of the past decade. For an annual fee of $10,000 to $20,000 or more, bond traders, real estate developers, the occasional...
Amid all the Financial Crisis anniversary coverage, many of us will be trying to recall what we were doing this time last year on the week the world broke. I remember exactly what I was doing. I was talking my wife into booking a vacation to California. When we'd first come up with the idea, the...
I'm getting the impression that America would prefer that the 14.5 million of us who are unemployed would just disappear. Most people from the Fed on down apparently have decided that nothing much can be done to improve the unemployment picture in the foreseeable future, so why depress everyone...
