Question: I started my job 10 years ago and have been doing everything the experts recommend: working hard, living below my means and saving religiously. But investment returns have been so bad that I don't have nearly as much to show for my efforts as I expected. Meanwhile, I see people who bought houses with no money down, maxed out their credit cards and spent extravagantly are now being coddled by the government. It makes me feel like a chump. Why should I continue to save and invest if the government is going to reward bad behavior? --Mike, Cleveland, Ohio

Dear FSB: I've owned a small construction company for the past 15 years. The company frames houses for other builders in addition to building custom homes in Cleveland.

I am now facing the possibility of folding the business. Before taking this step, is there anything I can do to salvage it?

Rather, he stayed home with his wife and sat in his home office for part of the day, watching tape of prospects he might draft. At one point, he found himself daydreaming, wondering if there would be any chance he could come out of the draft with both Joe Thomas and Brady Quinn. I wonder what it would cost to do that? If that would ever happen, that would really get me excited.
1. 2006 underachievers: Prior to the 2006 campaign, two middle America cities were abuzz with optimism.

Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter has an idea that seems to make sense, especially after a trying first week in baseball in which the Indians had seven games either snowed out or relocated to a different time zone, stars such as Johnny Damon, Hideki Matsui and Victor Martinez were hurt trying to play baseball in football weather, and fans, when they bothered to show up at all, sat through miserable conditions to watch something that did not pass for major league-quality baseball.
