Welcome to Making Sense New England, a monthly series about the economy and you. We're here to share ideas, advice and solutions to the economic challenges facing all of us. The stories come from neighborhoods throughout northern New England and take on some of the problems caused by the recession. Today, we'll show you how to spend less at the check out. You'll hear how some companies reduce the stress of job loss. And new laws that could affect small businesses throughout New England. First -- for all too many northern New Englanders, the recession has made the prospect of home ownership more remote than ever. But even those who do own face the challenge of repairs and improvements at a time of tight household budgets. Correspondent Bridget Barry-Caswell searched out some helpful wisdom on this dilemma |

Unless you're an accomplished do-it-yourselfer, it's wise to plan and execute your remodeling projects with the help of experienced, trustworthy professionals. Our M$NE website can get you started in the right direction. Just visit our 'resources' page at making sense NE.org Before we move on to the next story, we want you to know about VITA - Volunteer Income Tax Assistance sites, where IRS trained volunteers prepare tax returns for free. If you qualify for the service, you save money and could learn about an important tax credit. We attended the VITA kick off in Concord, NH. To learn more about VITA or the Earned Income Tax Credit go to MAKINGSENSE NE.ORG If there's something good that comes from this recession, it's that people are learning how to spend less money. I visited a grocery story with a woman who taught me a thing or two about spending less. |

The US Dept of Labor created Rapid Response teams to help make those transitions less stressful. Making Sense correspondant Phil Vaughn is in Laconia, NH with that story. |
