Talk to a financial planner. Seriously, a professional who can help you work through what your goals are and how to get there is going to be a big asset at the beginning of your having a lot of excess cash. Work might offer one, or your bank.

I hate what the college race has become in the US. It's so competitive that high school kids are expected to apply to the best schools they can get into, then go to the best one that accepts them.

I still think I'd rather wash the two sheets than strip a duvet cover off and wash that... but in any event, the point is that you're not reducing work unless you're willing to live with more dirt.

The purpose of the top sheet is to prevent your comforter/blankets from getting as dirty. Sleeping on top of it means your more-difficult-to-wash blankets need to be laundered. I'd rather wash the two thin sheets more often.

Meh. NewEgg's draconian return policies have stopped me from shopping there most of the time. I can get virtually all of the same gear from Amazon and free returns with no hassle. I don't see the point to paying $50 for the same service I get from Amazon for free.

The one thing about groceries is you can do this IF you tailor your meals to what's on sale, and you don't just buy normal meals plus what's on sale (which is what it sounds like your wife does).

On the topic of sales, I try to avoid buying something in a sale that I didn't already know I needed.

Agreed. At the very least, tell me WHY you want some permission.

Your comment still has nothing to do with the original concern. Are you even reading what is being said?

And this has exactly what to do with the original comment that I was referring to?

This is absolutely true, but bear in mind that Mint is operated on Intuit/Turbotax's infrastructure, which also contains huge amounts of detailed personal information that would be a disaster to lose and very high visibility. Much worse than easily-canceled credit cards.

Yes. This.

Just to sum up my thoughts because I'm headed into some meetings for the rest of the day and can't keep replying individually (it's a good discussion, but I think I've said most of my feelings):

Try Hooked on Phonics.

I have not ignored that at all.

No, it's not countered by that. You have entirely missed the point.

A home is an asset. Assets are "investments". You buy them, own them, and sell them. They are like stocks, bonds, or iPhones in that they store value. The value of your iPhone might not increase over time, but the fact that it is an asset means that you can recoup part of your investment by selling it. Then you can…

I think this is generally a terrible way to choose a camera.

I'm not arguing with what you saw, only that it shouldn't be accepted as normal and disregarded as the inevitable consequence of jailbreaking.

There's something wrong that has nothing to do with jailbreaking, then.
