What's the smart way to finance a new car?

Generally speaking, your best bet is to obtain your loan directly from a bank, credit union, or other lending agency. You get all the money you need, turn over the cash to the dealer, and pay off the loan over a period of time, with all dealings strictly between you and the lender you select.

Is buying life insurance a good way to save money?

It is if you are looking for a guaranteed long-range cash accumulation and you want adequate family protection at the same time. This double-duty aspect of life insurance is especially important for young families whose incomes can't handle sufficient insurance plus a separate investment program.

When does a family need a lawyer and how much does he charge?

In almost all their services, lawyers' charges vary considerably. Fees tend to be much higher in major urban areas and in the East and Far West than in small towns and the South and Midwest.

Is your bank a good credit reference?

THE MAN NEXT DOOR

The Rev. George Hall worked his way through seminary by door-to-door selling; he says it taught him that a display sample of the product often develops a regular customer. That's why, unlike some ministers, he doesn't feel annoyed by people who show up in church only on Christmas and Easter.
