Dipping into that home equity line of credit to fund holiday gift purchases just doesn’t seem like such a good idea this year. As consumer spending dips, deals to entice purchasing should rise, right? Where there is fear there is opportunity. Tapping into recession fears, Yahoo Shopping just launched a new site in (Read More)
