A couple years ago while shopping for my oldest son’s first vehicle, we came across a ‘94 Corolla with about 30k miles on it. Not really believing the ad, we took it for a test drive. Other than some signs it had been smoked in at one point in the last 3 decades, the vehicle was in great condition. The little old lady…

The DJIA is certainly not a total stock market index. The Dow only includes 30 large stocks. For total stock market look at the Russell 2000 or Russell 5000.

Walmarts are now adding charging stations. I’ve never actually seen one of the 8 stations at my local store being used even though the Wal-mart is a block from I-15.

BFADS.net has all the big retailer sale flyers so you can pregame your shopping plan.

Since it’s also Evil Week, try driving by local churches. Many will be having pot lucks and trunk or treats. Free food and free candy all in one stop.

Box up toys for storage and rotate through them over time. We have a big garage, so we can put stuff away eaisly. The little ones know we won’t get out a new bucket of toys unless they box up the last one they got out.

YMMV. I’ve tried this before without success. I have an 800-ish credit score, so that isn’t an issue. My preferred card kept increasing rates outside of changes from the Fed, so I call and said I’d be transferring my balances (joyous medical debt) if they couldn’t do something about it. The rep stuck to a dead-end…

Can’t get tickets in your big city theater? Try looking in smaller nearby towns. My little city is just over an hour out of the biggest city in the state, but barely sells half the seats for big premiers. Even Endgame didn’t sell out opening night. In the rare instance something is popular, they just add more showings.

How are you having issues? The service isn’t available until Nov 12.

Maximize the RAM. I’m leave my current job next week. A few years ago, I personally purchased and installed additional ram in my computer. I popped out those chips this morning, and my machine is now painfully slow.

Both my wife and I were independently established before marrying, though I was much better managing money. At first, we maintained separate accounts, and she would handle some bills, while I did others. After a few late payments and overdrafts, I insisted I take over the bills. She didn’t want to give up control at…

You can say the same thing without it coming across as your just there for the money. Maybe rephrase what you said as “In addition to being an [leader in the industry/highly respected company/exciting startup], you offer competitive pay and benefits in a field where I enjoy working.”

Thanks for the article Nicole. It couldn’t be more timely for me. At the beginning of the month, I was passed over for a promotion. It’s not that someone else got the job, but that I wasn’t even given the opportunity to apply.

Only once in my 40+ years have I received a call back after sending thank you notes and I didn’t take the job because they were offering ridiculously low pay. My experience has shown most hiring moves forward with the top candidate so quickly that thank you notes would only come into play when a company is forced to…

You’ll find a lot of people disagree. While the Republican Party has supported the president, this is Nixon level coverup. Republican leadership may look at the situation and realize continued support of Trump takes down the whole party – especially if public outrage continues to grow. I’m waiting for the states that…

Many people confuse impeachment with removal from office. Being impeached is comparable to being indicted. When the house votes to impeach a president, they are voting to put the president on trial. Clinton was impeached and put on trial with the house serving as prosecutors and the senate serving as jury. The only…

I’m also just above 800 on VantageScore 3.0 credit score, but my usage is at 24% due to taking advantage of a HELOC to fund some home improvements. My biggest limiting factor seems to be accounts that aren’t reported to all the credit rating agencies. I have credit history going back nearly 30 years due to my mother…

West coaster here, so my only recollection of Action Park is this news report from when it reopened:

My parents are in their 60's, but live so unhealthily that I expect at least one to be gone in the next 10 years despite grandparents living into their 90's. My father has been an miser and workaholic all his life. I reasonably expect I’ll inherit at least 100k on his death. I expect that is when I’ll pay off my…
