The Power of Financial Clarity

Susie Ormond: People don't realize they're spending a dollar to get about 40 cents back. So many people are blinded by the mortgage interest deduction and think it's worth spending 15,000 to get 6,000 back.

Most people at least that I know whether their home is $5 million, $50 million or whatever it may be, they write a check for it.
