In case you missed them, here are the top 10 Personal Finance stories from MarketWatch for the week of April 19-23:

The Top 10 places to relocate in 2010

Job growth and a diverse economy helped launch Huntsville, Ala., nicknamed the "Rocket City," to the top of RelocateAmerica.com's annual list of best places to live.
See Real Estate.

Sensible remodels for a flat housing market

With housing values in the tank and any substantial price appreciation in the distant future, sinking money into a remodeling project is a tough sell for many homeowners now.
See Amy Hoak's Home Economics.

The clock is ticking on home-buyer tax credit

You might not have to miss out on the homebuyers' tax credit. MarketWatch.com Radio's Adrienne Mitchell reports the coming deadline is for signing a contract, not closing the deal.
Listen to Radio Report.

These Web sites let you invest with the top pros -- or be one

Joey Windham used to have a stockbroker, but no longer. Now he invests with help from a history professor, an accountant and a doctor whose trading activity he follows online.
See Weekend Investor.

Recession lessons that will last kids a lifetime

While my seven-month-old is too young to understand that she's growing up during one of the worst economies in decades, Dan and I do our best to remain upbeat around our baby. For families with older kids, experts say these tough times are a good occasion to teach children about financial realities, and these are lessons that can last a lifetime.
See Diary of a Recession Baby.

Volcano fee? Experts say watch those airfares

The volcanic eruption in Iceland will prove costly to air travelers long after the ash cloud clears. Travel expert Joe Brancatelli tells MarketWatch News Break that the travel disruptions will be reflected in higher air fares.
Listen to Radio Report.

If you don't lose weight your finances will

You have to admire Michelle Obama for taking on an issue that can turn off millions of Americans, who themselves are overweight. From better food labels to more money for healthier foods in schools, the First Lady is taking on the issue with a vengeance, tackling the problem from many corners. But there's another, big reason that each and every parent should get rid of excess weight and teach their kids good eating habits: our financial futures.
See Jennifer Openshaw.

Time to replace the 4% withdrawal rule

How much -- when the time comes -- should you withdraw from your accounts earmarked for retirement? Answer that question correctly and you get to enjoy the retirement of your dreams. Answer it incorrectly and you either outlive your assets or you leave more money to your heirs than planned.
See Robert Powell.

How to reenergize your long-suffering job search

While the economy may be slowly recovering, it's still tough to find a job and millions of workers have been unemployed for far longer than they'd like.
See Careers.

8 ways the long-term unemployed can protect their well-being

It's been nearly a year since Kevin Brett lost his job as a public-relations executive, the longest stretch of unemployment he's ever faced.
See Vital Signs.
