Dangerous reverse mortgages
RIP-OFF ALERT: Cash-strapped retirees can remain in their homes and get a check each month by borrowing against the property's value with a reverse mortgage. But beware of a new equity-stripping rip-off in the field.

Goodbye to junk mail
Bogged down with unwanted catalogs? Imagine reducing your load by up to two-thirds and eliminating those pesky credit card offers. Clark has some no-cost websites that can make it a reality.

6% checking account
Are all savers getting their clocks cleaned as CD and online savings rates drop? Not really. Clark shares a new checking account option with up to 6 percent interest APY.

Top foreclosure markets
CLARKONOMICS: Clark looks back to the "dot.bomb" era to get some perspective on the housing slump and shares the top foreclosure markets of 2007.

Zombie debt warning
RIP-OFF ALERT: Scavenger collectors buy expired debts (some up to 30 years old!) and then violate all kinds of laws while trying to collect on them. Know your rights if they contact you.

Cable/satellite bill tips
Clark has discovered an affordable, easy-to-install device that lets you wirelessly send a video signal from one TV to another in your home. The real benefit? It will help you to stop paying your cable/satellite provider for those extra boxes.

This week's poll
NYC health inspectors have been handing out violations to chain restaurants that don't post calorie counts on their menus. What's your take on this?
I believe in what the inspectors are doing. Long live the food police.
This isn't a legitimate function of gov't-paid employees.
I couldn't care less. I'd be eating at home to save money!
