or you can just use whichever tool fits the job at any time? No reason to close ourselves to just one alternative.

Yes, you do. But you don't need an expensive one. From my experience, just got to a cheap college near that is near the company you want to work for. They'll hire you from right there.

I always just say kryptonite. The job that I have right now, the interviewer just laughed and moved on.

Nope. Bank Of America. But yeah, it'd surprise me if any other bank actually processed income before expenses for this very purpose.

Yes! This. Another effect I noticed when using debit as the pump, and while also having low balance, is that while the pump will only authorize $1, once the bank receives the final amount (which might take days!) is that it might put you under $0, and incur an overdraft fee. To add insult to injury, I've had this…

Well, it'd be fit for him, right? faster killing your favorite characters, he'll kill your favorite author, before he can tell you if their deaths we're not in vain.

I think the better question is what motivates the developer. A paid app is pretty straightforward. They just get your money. Free is another story. A developer has to find SOME WAY to get value off of you. Do note I said value, as they could just be doing it for fun, and your value is word of mouth or bug reporting.…

Yep, precisely my thinking. So, to summarize, kids. Use as debit, unless it's truly time sensitive.

I just got my first card, and a simple rule I follow is to pretend it's my debit card. That is, only use it for things I would have used my debit card for, like regular groceries, regular shopping. Nothing out of the ordinary. The only difference would be that instead of using my cash to pay for them, I let it build…

Then it may very well be worth it for some people :P

Ah. I guess I could have checked that beforehand. Though, is that the listing price when it just came out? I was under the impression most phones just came out at $200, so I just assumed you'd buy whatever came out that month.

Ok, I made a spreadsheet! Help me fix it if I made a mistake. I made a comparison between what you'd have to pay via Selling and Upgrading your phone, and using the Jump! plan. I also ran it for both a once a year upgrade for iPhones and once every 6 months for Android. I assume that each time you would sell your…

It seems to benefit mostly the Android market which has new phones every week or so. How does the math work for an iPhone which refreshes every year? How does it compare to selling your last year model iPhone on Craigslist/eBay and using that to buy the current gen iPhone?

Then bacon shouldn't be as delicious as it is.

Exactly. Not buying from China is nearly impossible because that's just how the economy works, can't really get around it without a lot of extra effort. Same with Vegans. Humans evolved to eat all kind of things, it's part of the whole survival thing. Sure, you can go out of the way to avoid eating a particular set of…

BUT IS IT PROPERLY CENTERED? that's the question.

I always had issues with that. If you're a Vegan you probably shouldn't be using any product made in China either, as the workers are being treated just a bit better than cattle. But I guess for Vegans mistreating humans is ok?
