The recession hasn't spared any age group, but it's been especially hard on seniors. More and more Americans 62 and older are turning to reverse mortgages to supplement their cash. But is it right for you?

It's pretty normal these days when you're apartment hunting to be asked to pay an application fee. Those fees can be pretty steep, and can be at least $50 for every application.

ATLANTA -
A newspaper is reporting that Amazon.com is not collecting sales tax from Georgia shoppers despite a new state law designed to snag the money from the world's biggest online retailer.
The new law went into effect at the start of 2013.
The Atlanta-Journal Constitution reports (http://bit.ly/V6zeBj) that shoppers buying items from Amazon.com to be shipped to Georgia should be prompted to pay sales tax under the new law. But the newspaper reports that its own checks of Amazon.com show that isn't happening.
Seattle-based Amazon has fought against charging its customers a sales tax elsewhere, leading to legal battles in some states.
Atlanta lawyer Eric Tresh, who represents the company, declined to talk about Amazon's position on Georgia's tax, but said laws in various states that require online collection are "arguably unconstitutional."
