    SE Maine anyone?

    We spend a couple weeks on the coast of Maine every year and love it. Great seafood and the people are friendly. I wouldn't hesitate living there.

    Truck question - Nissan Titan.

    Had an older Titan, exhaust manifolds crack... they are integrated with the cat and very expensive to replace. It was one repair after another on mine, but if you can find one with the manifolds recently replaced it would be worth taking a look at. That repair alone could cost you more than...

    Opinions on these Mutual Funds

    Ways to pinch pennies

    Good points. Curious how much of the increase had to do with the location of the properties? Did 1 location get built up more than the other?
