By MarketWatch In case you missed them, here are the top 10 Personal Finance stories from MarketWatch for the week of March 15-19: One family's nightmare struggle to keep their home
Marianne Gentry, 66, lives with her disabled husband and desperately ill son. And they're about to get kicked out of their home.
Mortgage-modification program has major flaws
Marianne Gentry learned her home was in foreclosure from a recorded message from her bank. So she and her husband and son packed their belongings, expecting to get kicked out any day.
Government, lenders try ways to make short sales simpler and quicker
Short sales are a valuable tool for struggling homeowners, but they've been notoriously difficult to complete, with buyers and sellers often playing a long waiting game before hearing back from lenders. Now, however, a new government program plus some lender initiatives may make for shorter wait times and a smoother process.
The best way to get a new job fast
This week, President Barack Obama signed the H.I.R.E. Act into law. It stirred up lots of excitement and sarcasm -- as does every new tax law and politically based economic incentive. Let's not waste time with criticism. Let's see what's in this for you!
Health reform a hot topic in bioethics circles
Bioethicists are often associated with exotic, scary-sounding scenarios such as human cloning, but it turns out they spend a lot of time weighing something far more familiar: Health-care reform.
Two major barriers to your retirement plans
When it comes to retirement, there are lots of things to consider: tax rates, earthquakes, and drug interactions to name a few. But experts say there are two big elephants in the room with which many of us will have to deal, sooner or later.
Recession spurs some to stick with jobs for life
Say goodbye to free-agent nation. The recession is driving more American workers to become workplace "nesters," sheltering from the storm that is now the job market by staying with the same employer for as long as possible, according to a study released Tuesday by consulting firm Towers Watson.
Working mothers' tips for job seekers
Generations of working mothers have had to learn how to stay professionally relevant and avoid income shocks despite the résumé gaps that can come along with a new baby. With millions of jobs lost since the recession began, and fierce competition for open spots, mothers may be in a great position to offer some needed advice.
A time to buy and a time to sell
Mark Twain famously observed that October is one of the most dangerous months to speculate in stocks. The others, he added, "are July, January, September, April, November, May, March, June, December, August and February."
Commentary: View of mutual funds depends on where you stand
Want a reason not to buy and hold mutual funds? See the last 10 years. Want a reason to invest for the long haul? See the last 20. Fund critics can use the last decade to say that fund investing doesn't work, and fund supporters can use the last two decades to show the opposite.
