Just my opinion, Jeromes has very poor quality furniture and I think you’ll end up having to replace it in a couple of years. I think you’re going to need to pay 2k just for a good couch set ( full couch, loveseat and chair). If you want a good set of chairs+ dining table, I echo the World Market suggestion. Real wood and they do a lot of sales so you could pick something up for around $600 for a dining set.

For the couches, I would go to Macy’s and buy something on sale. You will find much higher quality designers, fabrics, etc. They do a lot of sales and have a decent selection. Years ago I bought a microfiber set, thick microfiber that wiped clean from any spills. 7 years of use and it still looked new, the cushions were still great and no one would even have guessed it was 7 years old. I finally sold it on craigslist as I wanted an Italian leather set, but I think I could have used the set for many more years.

I also really like BoConcept but I don’t think that will fit your budget

Anyone trading Dollar Index ETFs? UDN and UUP

My financial adviser thinks the dollar is going to bounce up for a rally, before continuing to fall if we continue on this course of deficit spending. Short term opp he believes.

Thoughts?

Property, I agree a website would be great. I think there are a few categories when looking at supporting parents. Simplistically, there are parents that have not become incapacitated and those that are and need full time care – IE in home or in nursing homes. For parents who do not qualify for Medical, Medicare, but simply hampered by illness that depletes their funds, what is the best way to support them without depleting your own funds or severely limiting your own life. Is it all up to the kids, or are there are support mechanisms out there?

Part of the equation is certainly the national healthcare plan in question. Certainly if older folks had access to affordable healthcare, that would be a huge cost burden that would be simplified versus today where costs can spiral out of control and bankrupt someone. Really illness can bankrupt anyone, not just those that are elderly. I think the issue however is that as you get older, you have less employment options, and certainly if you are ill AND need employment to pay your bills. I read an article recently that indicated many employers hesitate to hire older people due to perceived higher medical costs.

scaredy, I fully believe this because worrying about anything is stress. And stress affects health.
