Something like 90% of lottery winners have spent all the money within 5 years, so I think I would be extra conservative and take the 30 year annuity, which has an increasing disbursement year over year. That way no matter how crazy I might be tempted to go, I’ve still limited myself and made sure that I’m secure in…

According to various news outlets that are featuring stories on this, the Feds take 25% off the top of the cash payout, and THEN you pay income tax on what is left at the 39.6% rate, plus any state income or lottery tax where you live. So you really end up with a net payout, after the first 25% and then the 39.6%, of…
Two words: Caveat Emptor
Ok, be honest, this who thing is just a scene cut from Clerks or some other Kevin Smith movie, right?
In your position, I’d either be on trial for burning down that house or owing thousands of dollars for breaking the lease and fleeing back to the US. Nuke it from orbit, its the only way to be sure.
You lost me at tarantula behind your computer monitor. Dealbreaker.
I have one each of the Fire TV Stick, Chromecast, and Xbox 360. I use all 3 to some degree, usually for Hulu, Netflix, or Flixster/Ultraviolet. Rarely do I ever pull up the Amazon Instant Video app and watch anything there or on my computer or anything else.
I used to be on the whole Android over Apple bandwagon, until I got an iPad for work and used it every day. My whole perspective changed then. Now I want the best product for what i need, and I’ll figure out later how to make it play nice with other tech.
My wife and I are both firmly pro-vaccine, but she has always said that when we have kids she wants to space them out more, which I have never agreed with. Thanks for this article, it will help argue my point!
Bought a new home in a suburb of Seattle in January, waived the inspection and still had no issues getting financing.
Would also be nice if, conversely, the Fire TV/Stick would support Google Play movies!
I work in Project Management in the construction industry, and long hours are a huge problem at a lot of firms, as clients keep tightening schedules and wanting their projects done yesterday. The last place I was at, the Operations Manager sat me down on my first day and told me he expected everyone in his department…
I agree with everything you just said, I was just stating it was an option. I brought it up because I recently accepted an offer from another company, and when i turned in my resignation I had 3 levels of management giving me counter offers and trying to talk me into staying. But at the level of the counters, I knew…
Along with getting any raise at all, changing jobs is usually your best opportunity to level up or get a much larger pay increase, or both at once. And if you are willing to leverage an offer from another company, you can coerce your current employer into a bigger raise or title to get you to stay.
On the renting vs buying a home aspect, i would also add that you should buy a house for a long term place to live, not an investment, as they are not easy to liquidate if you need cash in a hurry.
So, more expensive than Hulu, and also more restrictive. I don’t think they have thought their cunning plan through all the way...
I had to replace my Primo All-in-One over the weekend, and considered this, but in the end opted to spend the extra money and get a fully ceramic model, which IMHO just do a better job holding a temperature for longer. The Akorn is a decent entry into this type of cooking, especially at that price, but I’d view it as…

I’d amend the serrated bread knife to an offset handle serrated bread knife. When I worked in a kitchen in college, the offset serrated was used as much as the Chef’s knife
I've had several Swissgear bags, all outstanding, and was looking for a new one last week because my wife "appropriated" mine for work. The timing of this sale is perfect.
