WOW - this is the first article I have ever read that gave me a retirement number that isn't out of my grasp number-wise. Definitely far off but seems reasonable - can it be true?

Yup - definitely true, especially for black friday electronics. I was actually talking about the treatment of the sets themselves behind the scenes - I think there are videos online that document the sets being thrown about like they are empty boxes and stacked with zero care like wooden palettes. The sets may be…

Some good points here, you left out a few that made me ball:

No matter how good the deal, any TV bought from Walmart is a huge gamble. I had a Vizio die in just over a year and my brother had a Sanyo crap out too. From what I have read they treat the TV's like crap - you don't know what you're getting.

The company I work for would pay $1000 to fly someone that day. The nature of the business coupled with the ROI involved in the project isn't a second thought for them. Now getting the person to get onto the flight that day is another story...

Chromecast (or Roku stick) question - I find that I am pretty much only using Youtube to cast videos to my TV - anyone found any add'l apps or software that can stream other stuff (free not netflix)? Like files on my network? Its been a few months since this came out and I am wondering if anything new has been…

Well, I'm in my 40's now so let's see how I did:

If you are living within your means (you budget and have extra money after living expenses each paycheck/month), this means to put aside money for savings/emergency fund first. This is especially applied if you are living paycheck to paycheck. Usually 10% is a good start but could be lower or higher depending.

OK I went back and saw the terrible Travolta intro (missed that live). They also definitely rushed her through the song and cut out a big chunk of the song. This song builds to the chorus and its terrible how she was set up.

Ok this is a version I like finally! Her performance on the Oscars was just OK for me - I thought I heard her voice break a few times - she can definitely sing though maybe she was nervous. I didn't realize the song was from Frozen - didn't get through the first 10 minutes - ugh terrible.

Very cool - although it is a reminder for how many pictures won that weren't deserving of the Best Picture oscar.

I would pile on Jessica way before I would Madonna. Just sayin'.

Great article - very spot on.

I thought of a few more:

Stacy looks pretty good to me after recently having a kid - sure she's had work done but who hasn't in hollywood - she's 38 - I know a lot of people younger than her that look worse with no kids and have the $$$ to look better (or are just too lazy to work out).

Because he is another actor and a comedian. Add to that he became available after breaking up with January Jones (another beautiful and decent actress). Makes perfect sense to me.

I turn windows update off - my family never does the updates anyway so whats the point. I check on my own PC's regularly and manually do updates - this results in a significantly faster start up time and internet connection after logging into windows.

"Realistically I won't have the "perfect day" any time soon"

After reading an article on LH some time ago about grocery store coffee, I am stuck on Eight O' Clock Original beans - it came out on top on taste testes and I agree with that assessment. I have since switched to a burr grinder and have added a water filtration system to my home (for other reasons than just my…
