Two ideas.

If anyone is venturing into dangerous territory, they should consider investing in a Personal Locator Beacon (PLB) or Satellite Messenger. There's an explanation of the two and some products at REI (and, undoubtedly, less explanation and more products at Amazon):

Mayonnaise is basically oil and vinegar with egg yolks added to make it creamy and keep the oil and vinegar mixed. If you want to criticize something from my childhood, criticize the wedges of iceberg lettuce that passed for salads.

Also true for frozen juice (pure juice, not blends).

If you have a laptop, you should take a look because WMC was designed for OEMs and some have added their own tiles. Unfortunately, Microsoft hasn't added anything to this in years. At a minimum, I wish there were toggles for WiFi, Bluetooth, and Airplane Mode.

The second option in the list: "Mobility Center". You can also create a shortcut or pin it to the taskbar.

Keep in mind that load and fees are different. Load is what it costs to buy the fund (like a commission when you buy a stock), fees are what the fund charges you every year. Sometimes load funds have lower fees (but not always). Still, invest that 3%.

Remember, if you're 50 years old you're still talking about an investment that needs to last for 30 years unless you plan on dying early. Because of that I've stuck with stocks. Saving and investing is a lifelong proposition.

I would quibble with no minimum balance. Instead, try to find a bank that waives fees based on the total balance on checking plus savings and park that minimum amount in savings as a true emergency fund. Another way to get fees waived may be to direct deposit your paycheck.

I'm 62. I started saving 40 years ago. I used to have a 401k that allowed me to manage my own investments and, as an IT guy, I invested in companies that I thought were solid. Then the dot.com bubble burst and I was nearly wiped out. Since then I trust the market as a whole.

At 29, you've should be planning for the next 30 plus years, i.e. longer than you've been alive. Target funds have two disadvantages over this kind of time frame. First, they tend to have higher fees - this year, next year, and for the next 3 decades. This is money that goes to a fund manager instead of into your…

You kids, what's the big deal with seeds (or pulp)?

As a former federal employee, my 401k equivalent had limited options. I split my investment in thirds: large cap (S&P 500), mid and small caps (Dow Jones Completion Total Stock Market), and international (Morgan Stanley Capital International EAFE (Europe, Australasia, Far East) ). Over the past 10 years I've averaged…

When you do review, try to write more than a sentence and include pros and cons. Nothing, except Laphroaig, is perfect and I'm much more willing to trust a review that discusses what could use improvement plus it's much more useful.

It depends on your most likely risk. Brightly colored cars deter thieves in part because they attract the eye of police but they also increase the likelihood of a ticket because they attract the eye of police.

I guess I'm missing something. If you've got a pocket for your key chain, you've got a pocket which will hold much more money than a lip balm tube, will make the money more easily accessible if you want to use it, and won't require convincing the clerk that there's not lip balm all over the bills you hand him.

Cool but complicated and too thick. You can do the same thing with a business card or 3x5 card cut to fit in youy wallet slots. With a 3x5 card, you can design it to go in the compartment under the credit card slots which will handle keys with broad heads (like Baldwin) and make it a bit less obvious that you're…

Let me preface this by saying that, depending on your company's 401k, you may be restricted in your choices. Let me also say that this is the opinion of someone who is not a financial analyst but who has been investing for almost 50 years, starting with hundreds of dollars and this year retiring with almost a million…

I'd also take a look at FX File Explorer from NextApp. It's basic version is free with no ads.
