I bought this set for $156 on black Friday. My wife loves it. Her only complaint is salted water seems to pit the large saucepan.

It’s much easier to get a long skinny stick and reprogram the thermostat.

This happens all the time in the US. It’s called a soft price increase. Most notably, Cadbury denied their Easter cream eggs were shrinking. Then a late night TV host had a segment about the size change:

Don’t fall for the 2.1 trap. Get this 5.1 40" model: (http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00…) with an extra $70 off for Prime members. I bought it shortly after Christmas and I’m in love with the quality and immersive experience.

You forgot to mention most tax pros take the second half of April off for a trip to Hawaii or another exotic location.

If you’re even remotely smart, do your own personal taxes using turbotax or another online tool and cut out the middleman. Even with complex matters like household help or investment income, turbotax is going to ask you for the exact same information a paid preparer will.

That’s not true. The remainder of your winnings go to your “estate.” The FAQ on the Powerball website specifically addresses this situation.

No, but winning will give me a whole new set of problems I can only dream of.

Anyone know if this tool accounts for social security? I know the current plan is insolvent right around when I retire, but I still expect to receive about 75% of projected benefits. If the tool doesn’t include that payment, my wife and I are doing quite well.

Option A: Buy a phone outright. 64gb iPhone 6s is $749.

If you’re on a plan under 15gb/month and out of contract, upgrade now. You’ll lose the $15/month bill credit, but that’s still cheaper than buying a new iPhone.

Plus, no one will notice you’re playing clash of clans at the same time. Hooray for multi-tasking!

Even before that, the first step is tracking where your money goes. Nine months after I started using mint.com, my net worth doubled because I became aware of how my daily choices affected my long-term financial health.

I’d like to add that your values might change. My wife and I have been scrimping and saving to ensure we have a good retirement. At some point, we crossed the line that saving became a burden. We weren’t experiencing life in the present due to lack of funds. We withdrew some basis funds from our Roth IRA (tax-free…

I grew up in an upper-middle-class family where my father refused to buy quality. Shoes are a great example. My brothers and I would get a new pair of $12-$15 shoes from Payless at the beginning of the school year. We never outgrew them. The quality was so poor, we always needed a new pair 2-3 months later. Mom…

Speaking of clowns, how do magnets work?

BYU’s got nothing to lose. Coach has a new job lined up, and this will be the senior’s last game. Potential for ugliness is high.

You’ll have your libations. Last year, I was at this bowl when Utah stomped all over Colorado. Colorado’s students were so drunk, they didn’t even know they were losing.

And for goodness sake, put the utensils and napkins at the end of the buffet line instead of the beginning. Most of the time, I’m not sure what I need until I’ve filled up my plate. If the knives, forks, and spoons are at the front of the line, I’m taking all three because I don’t know what I need yet.

Never underestimate the value of a placebo.
