U.S. News and World Report’s Money Guide is out. There’s some very useful information about investing, retirement planning, where to live when you retire (San Luis Obispo makes the top ten) and getting ahead of the recession.
It contains some fascinating information:
Where are the best states to start a business in the U.S.? Washington, Colorado, Virginia, Texas and Nevada (right next door and happy to lure California companies away). What do they have that California lacks? How about low or non-existent taxes? Very supportive regulations and easy processes, inexpensive and well educated labor, technological innovation…
Where are growing employment opportunities: In specialized health-related fields and science.
Matthew Bandyk opines that perhaps small businesses don’t need a federal bailout but rather some changes to the tax code so it’s easier to make a profit. He talks about home office deductions, communication devices used for business – small things that could make profitability easier and hasten a return of capital to the local market and boost the local economy.
Mortimer B. Zuckerman opines about where the Federal stimulus is going awry (too much money on social program, not enough for those shovel-ready programs… ).
It’s all at www.usnews.com. Some thought-provoking reading.
