Did you like the High School Musical movie? If so, try the High School Musical [Enhanced] [Extra Tracks] [Soundtrack] [Special Edition]!

It’s the same great songs, singers and fun. Every song (there is eleven) is the same as in the movie except now there is a chance for you to multi-task while enjoying the same singers from the film. Some include Mathew Gerrard, Ray Cham, Adam Watts, Faye Greenberg, Jamie Houston and Kevin Quinn.

I really enjoy High School Musical [Enhanced] [Extra Tracks] [Soundtrack] [Special Edition] because they describe what is going on in the movie. For example: when Troy is playing basketball (Get’cha Head in the Game), Ryan and Sharpay’s callback song (Bop to the Top) or when Troy and Gabriella meet each other (Start of Some thing New).

I really enjoy High School Musical [Enhanced] [Extra Tracks] [Soundtrack] [Special Edition]. I have memorized each and every one of them and sing along when I listen to this CD. Every song has a catchy tune, so soon, you’ll be singing along too.

With a High School Musical [Enhanced] [Extra Tracks] [Soundtrack] [Special Edition], you can even sing along when you watch the movie. My favorite song is “When There was me and you”. It is when Troy and Gabriella don’t think they should go to callbacks. Just a little bit after this song they decide to go to callbacks.

I recommend this soundtrack for those who like the movie, High School Musical. The songs are a mix of upbeat, sad or just plain silly. Everyone will enjoy these just as much as they liked they movie. Those who haven’t seen the movie will want to see it after listening to this soundtrack.

Year-End Deals: $4.99 The Lazy Person’s Guide To Investing: A Book For Procrastinators,The Financially Challenged, And Everyone Who Worries About Dealing With Their Money [Bargain Price] (Paperback) December 27, 2007

In The Lazy Person’s Guide To Investing: A Book For Procrastinators, The Financially Challenged, And Everyone Who Worries About Dealing with Their Money [Bargain Price] (Paperback) , popular CBS Marketwatch columnist Farrell provides a thoroughly enjoyable and straightforward look at what he sees as “the future of investing”-”simple lazy portfolios that’ll work for anyone and are easy to understand.”

In The Lazy Person’s Guide To Investing: A Book For Procrastinators, The Financially Challenged, And Everyone Who Worries About Dealing With Their Money [Bargain Price] (Paperback), he provides three different model portfolios based on one simple formula: “rock-solid, easy-to-understand asset allocation using no-load index funds.” Farrell is a huge proponent of no-load funds such as the Vanguard 500 Index, which tracks the Standard & Poor 500 listing of America’s largest companies, and the Vanguard Total Bond Market Fund Index, which matches the performance of the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index.

Farrell persuasively argues that the strong long-term performance of these funds, even during hard market times-along with the strong performance of other Vanguard index funds such as those for large-cap and small-cap value-proves that “the only rational strategy” for the vast majority of America’s 94 million mutual fund investors is “a simple buy ‘n’ hold strategy” that diversifies portfolio assets across multiple categories of assets.

The Lazy Person’s Guide To Investing: A Book For Procrastinators, The Financially Challenged, And Everyone Who Worries About Dealing With Their Money [Bargain Price] (Paperback) is packed with clear examples of how regular people can easily handle their own investments.

Farrell’s guide also takes on other sacred cows, such as Wall Street’s belief that brokers know more than you do, and provides an exciting and illuminating section on no-load stocks, or DRIPs, which he calls “Wall Street’s best-kept secret.”

Year-End Deals: Save 71% - SmartMoney [1-Year Subscription] [Magazine Subscription] [Print] December 27, 2007

SmartMoney [1-Year Subscription] [Magazine Subscription] [Print] strikes a good balance between investment advice and information or articles that deal with the other aspects of your financial life.

Among the features I look forward to every month:

Ten Things: A “watch out” list of 10 things that you should know about the different professionals you interact with (your dentist, your accountant, a real estate broker, etc.). Always an eye-opener.
Stock Screen: Paul Sturm is a knowledgeable, value-oriented journalist who puts together a list each month of 8-10 stocks that make it through a rigid screen of several characteristics.

Each month, he features a different screen and he uses a good mix of quantitative characteristics and common sense to generate the list.
Feature articles that profile common people and the serious personal finance problems they have endured (e.g., collecting on insurance, fighting the IRS, traveling overseas).

SmartMoney [1-Year Subscription] [Magazine Subscription] [Print] is frequently compared to Money magazine, but Money is often more narrowly focused on investing and it sometimes dumbs down its articles.

I also read BusinessWeek, Forbes and Fortune regularly. While they all have their place, none provides the depth and common sense focus of SmartMoney when it comes to personal finance.

I have photocopied and saved countless articles and I sometimes refer to them years later. … my advice is to get a subscription now for SmartMoney [1-Year Subscription] [Magazine Subscription] [Print]- it’s definitely worth it.
