Comment on "Families urged to rethink finances" (China Daily, Dec 26)

Despite the government's rigorous measures to check rising prices, food and daily necessities have become dearer. And though real estate prices have dropped to some extent, many Chinese families have seen the value of their assets depreciate because of the fluctuating trend.

I'm not sure whether the news is good or bad. That's why families should have a clearer investment plan for next year.
