This was a well written article that poses interesting thought without being effected by much of (if any) bias. Thanks Mark.

16 minutes of voluntary idling per day? I have a really hard time believing this. I get in my car and am moving within seconds of starting the engine. When I get to my destination, I'm out of the car within seconds of it stop moving. Who has time to sit in their car for 15 minutes a day??? Shouldn't we be talking…

My rule is to never lend money I expect back. There is nothing that will start hard feelings faster than someone who "forgets" to pay money back, so I just avoid it by only lending money that I don't expect to get back. That way, if I do get paid back it is great, if not it's no big deal.

Another one that's probably obvious to a lot of people, but I honestly can't get over how universally useful these things are. They're great for cleaning countertops and sinks, great for getting scuff marks off the walls, great for cleaning your shoes, they're pretty much good at everything. Sometimes I even spring…

is the dollar amount for a single person's salary, or a couple with combined income?

Shorter point, if it was so easy and paid so well everyone would be going into it.

Nothing like blanket statements with only anecdotal evidence at best.

My father always told me that if I worked hard early in life, I could play later. I didn't listen to him and I made a lot of really dumb choices in my late teens, into mid-20's. So at one point ,there was a critical need. I had outrageous credit card debt, which is all gone now, but I'm still feeling the effects .…

The tape looks just as cool - and no batteries.

Age is often a poor indicator of experience.

Everyone talks highly of Honey, I've tried it a few times since it's release and have never, ever, seen it do anything (and I'm the kind of person that checks SlickDeals and Woot multiple times per day - I shop online quite a bit).
