Impossible in Denver. My property taxes are only $1100 a year. If I were to save thousands they would be giving me money.

My method is just to take everything out of it each time I get out of the car. If you don't leave anything in the car, then it won't be a mess.

If the Impala is there its always worth it. 300 HP in a rental car is worth the fact that you might only get 15mpg if you drive it as hard as possible, which is the only way to drive an Impala.

The amount its in there "longer" doesn't really have much effect over the course of 50 years. Averaging January annually versus June isn't going to have a big impact, you are basically just adjusting the rate you compound at, not your duration.

Also could have looked pretty bad if you put it all in before markets bottomed in 09. Nothing like buying the fall and hoping it comes back on the rebound when you missed the bottom.

Yeah, its scary how little people most people save. I read somewhere a year or so that the average baby boomer only has about $100k in equity outside of their homes...

Good to know! Thanks! I'll increase my contribution to 20% and still just top the rest off out of bonus.

The problem is that investments don't always go up. Sometimes they go down, and then you can be worse off.

Agreed. I work in finance and would not recommend this to anyone. Especially to typical Lifehacker readers who probably don't spend a lot of time on this stuff. Looking at the original authors blog they obviously work very hard to save and understands the basics of personal finance which is 95% of the battle.

I am of the opinion its always a bad idea to invest based on statistics without a strong theory as to why markets operate the way they do.

I would argue this is dangerous advice. It is a very small sample size, and a few down days can have a significant impact on your finances. There is some statistic that circulates that if you missed the 20 best days in the stock market in the last 20 years you lost something like 30% of earnings. I really don't recall…

I make about $75k annually (before bonus) and max mine out. I do 16% (8% roth 8% traditional) with a 4% employer match to 20% total. That's $15k, and I top off the rest out of my bonus. I usually max out my Roth IRA also. Its not fun to save that much, but its absolutely doable.

That being said, this is a really poor…

I have an extender plugged in near my PC that both extends the wifi network further through the house, and also provides a local network adapter. Another option.

Switch to Android. The last pass app works in all other apps to fill.

The android mobile app is great. You can use it in any other app.

Agreed. I use lastpass with a master password of four to five random words I can recall easily.

Agreed. I'm not a serious gamer, though do play and I recently picked up an XFX Radeon 7850 for around 80 after rebate on Newegg and it was very worth it. Most games run on high graphics at 1080 around 50-60 fps which is a solid deal to me.

Really don't understand why what I do bothers you so much. The reason I live in America is because I don't have to get involved in other peoples lives.

I only commented toward the original person because they stated the math and the numbers don't add up, which I have no idea where they determined that from.

I stated I…

I'm surprised. I love Southwest, and travel often. My only preference when booking is if Jetblue is available, but sadly, I live in Denver, where they do not service many flights.

Oh I checked the website as he had mentioned that and its currently $65. My guess is its probably just for the remaining 1/4 of the season...

Also the local blackout is the other thing that has kept me from exploring this option. While I could use a VPN on my computer, I would I guess have to put it on the router for…
