Our current government is a fucking joke. When this - This interview with Pennsylvania Republican Mike Kelly gives a little insight: he admits that it breaks his promises to constituents, but he’s voting for it in the name of Republican teamwork. The Senate will magically fix all its problems, he suggests. - is the…

Yeah, I’m sure that companies make a ton of money off people who take the 0% interest financing and then don’t pay off the items before the end of the promotional period. As you mention, it is a personal preference to not utilize those types of deals. I personally love them as I make sure to manage the repayment so…

I disagree slightly on this. Credit can be free (other than the effect on your credit score). Now I’m not saying to rack up a ton of debt on a random credit card and take forever to pay it off. But taking advantage of 0% interest financing offers can be beneficial and that is where the “credit is free” part comes…

I’m hoping to be able to use this as we are looking into moving and will need to get a new mortgage. When we bought our current house (first house), we got a quote from a single mortgage company and probably paid the price (we have refinanced two times since then, so we have a better rate now). This time around, I…

It all depends on what your tax rate will be during retirement compared to what it is now. If you are in a high tax bracket now, it might be better to put the money in tax free and pay taxes taking it out, hopefully at a lower tax rate. However, the big unknown with that thinking is what the tax rates will be come…

The benefit is the same as any Roth vs. non-Roth savings. Regular 401(k) is tax free going in and taxed coming out. Roth 401(k) is the opposite (taxed going in and tax free coming out). Having both means I’m paying taxes on some of it now (Roth) and will pay taxes on some of it later (regular).

I already had a 401(k) set up through my employer, but I did increase the amount I am contributing each paycheck. My employer recently started offering a Roth 401(k) option, so I’m now at 8% into regular 401(k) and 2% into Roth 401(k). Still nowhere near maxing it out for the year, but every little bit helps.

Yeah, I was thinking about heading up that way to go to Mackinac Island. If we do that, then I will keep an eye out for those places.

I’ll be up in Grayling this summer and am looking forward to having some pasties.

This article is very misleading. You are making the claim that he is being fined simply for stating his opinion. However, if he stated that he is a professional engineer anywhere in his letter, he would most likely be in violation of the state statutes that prohibit people from claiming they are engineers when they…

I think the intent is to help get teachers to work at lower income schools where they might otherwise try to choose a school that isn’t low income or private. If all the best teachers continue to leave lower income schools for “better” schools that are not low income, then the low income students are the ones who…

That’s what I figured but wasn’t sure about since I have never been on a flight that used this boarding method.

Yeah, I know that. I guess I was thinking of slightly older children that I wouldn’t normally think as needing more time but still young enough that you wouldn’t want to leave them on their own to board separately. For example, I would think that a kid between the ages of 5-10 wouldn’t really need the extra time…

In your case, you probably could have just switched boarding passes if the split had not been one parent per child.

While the WilMA method may be one of the most efficient (at least according to Mythbusters), I would think that this method would break down when you have groups of travelers that would require boarding at the same time and would typically sit in the same rows (like families with younger kids). I know I watched the…

That same Kuhn dealership has automatics at $12,550 below MSRP. And if I hadn’t bought a car at the end of last year, this would be very tempting (especially since I’m only 75 miles away and not 1,000 miles away as shown in the article)

Something similar happened to my wife’s car. She was rear ended by a motorcycle. Only damage was a cracked bumper (missed the backup sensors - really only cosmetic damage). His insurance company cut us a check and we just never got around to taking it to the shop to get fixed. This type of damage has zero…

Sell it/return it and use the $500 for just about anything else...
