Yup, I agree.

The loans and mortgages problem is easily enough solved, I'll move it 
into the Personal Finances area.  A simple swapping of chapter numbers 
ought to do it.

The cap-gains issue is stickier... because the chapter that talks about 
cap gains (an advanced personal finance issue) also deals with 
depreciation (an advanced business issue).  So, I could split the 
chapter, move cap-gains into the end of the Personal Finance area 
(implying an advanced feature), and move depreciation to a chapter after 
payroll.

Good?
