But with some persistence, it's possible to book a far more affordable place that's central, comfortable, and -- sometimes -- even charming. Be sure to plan well in advance.

QUESTION: I'm of retirement age, but I don't have a retirement fund. Even worse, due to my "antique addiction," I also owe $150,000 in credit cards.

At this point, I'm thinking bankruptcy seems like the best way out. What do propose I should do, outside of killing myself?
