Help others to grow as well, Show them the ropes, mentor and energize others to be "active learners" although challenging but could produce better results, keeps you motivated and challenged and then generate better ideas by others (hope I am not off the topic). I think its professional responsibility of the top…

You can still bounce ideas off of the others, though. Sometimes, it helps to get the perspective of someone that is - for lack of a better phrase - clouded by experience. You can get "Why don't we do [XXX]?" and you think "Well, we can't because we normally...waitaminute: Why don't we do [XXX}?"

What I've done in this situation is ask, "what skill does this group lack?" Be honest with the answer, or just ask other departments that interact with yours how your section could improve.

The right answer is zero. These peasants need to be put in their place, amiright?

I have to agree. There are many at my employer that still haven't set their 401k up (employer matches 4%). They've been here 2, 3, some of them longer and still "haven't got around to it". I fuss at them every time the topic comes up. Drives me bonkers!

It's not just a bonus, up to the matching limit, it's an instant 100% ROI.

THIS WILL NOT CATCH PEOPLE SPYING... Please don't share tools that give people a false sense of security.

Oh, let me translate your comment:
"I'm uncomfortable with these ideas, so I'll call myself 'normal' and you 'weird' for being different than me!"
TheEducationalGeek was relating a story that is on topic.

Hopefully this would go without saying, but be mindful of whether or not your ISP blocks inbound port 80 as this might make your blog hard to get to if you host it at home.

"The smart financial move is to pay for your car in cash and avoid a loan altogether."

That's a great article you linked to, with some advice that I'm going to try out, but it's a little oversimplified in places, and doesn't address the fact that some kids are developmentally sociopathic. I mean me. When I was a kid, maybe five or six, I got in trouble for stealing a watch. LOTS of trouble. Like, day…

I might get some flak for this, but...

My husband and I are having this conversation now. My thought is, if it's my emergency fund, and I invest it all in the stock market, and the markets tank and one of us gets laid off, where does that leave our emergency fund? If you're going to invest it, at least put it somewhere stable. Don't put your emergency…

I think the trouble isn't the liquidity per se, but the value. Unless you're in very low-risk investments like bonds, the actual value of your investments may not be sufficient when an emergency comes along. Or you may not want to sell an index that's temporarily depressed because of a bad economy just to meet…

Just noting the usefulness of camelcamelcamel.com for when you know what you want to buy, how low you want the price to drop before you do so, and aren't in a hurry to get the thing.

No, his premise is, "Owning is always better than renting," is a fucking stupid position to hold. And he's correct.

It's not "canon", it's "canonical". I can't believe that people talk about how this or that is not "canon." You can say "it's not in the canon" or you can say "it's not canonical." One is a noun. One is an adjective. Is it really that hard?

Based on years of personal research, I find that the ideal time to have a cup of coffee is right now.

"Marker cars" as a perception shifter is a smart idea. I'm going to try it. God knows that anything that keeps me away from road rage is a blessing.
