Many people are trying to call this the bottom of the housing market. While the loudest voices may be those with self-serving interests (namely, realtor groups), there is some real optimism creeping in. The most recent Housing Opportunity Index - released by the National Association of Homebuilders and Wells Fargo Bank - shows that almost 73 percent of homes sold in the first quarter of this year were “affordable.” In order to qualify as “affordable,” the total costs of a home (mortgage, taxes, etc.) must not exceed 28 percent of the median family income (currently $64,000).

Historically, very few children have thought of entrepreneurship as a career choice. We are hoping this game ["Hot Shot Business," developed by Disney Online and the Kauffman Foundation] will move the thought of owning their own business to the same cognitive level as other more popular career choices.
