This weekend we are discussing renewal in 2015. Marketplace reporter Sabri Ben-Ancour takes us to the Democratic Republic of Congo to explain how child soldiers are rebuilding their lives and renewing their confidence. Mark LoCastro, an expert shopper from DealNews.com, talks to Lizzie O'Leary about what will be going up and down this year in price. Marketplace Tech host Ben Johnson guides Lizzie through the new ways people are getting their entertainment, and what effects that might have on piracy.  Are you thinking about getting a new job in 2015? Well, Arnie Fertig from jobhuntercoach.com gives practical advice and how to land a new job this year.  Next week, we're focusing on inheritance, and specifically, what you inherit financially. We're not necessarily talking about money... habits, mindsets. For better, or worse. How do you handle what gets past down?
