Underestimating retirement costs: The biggest cost more retirees underestimate is health care. You have to consider and plan for the reality that you might need nursing home care in your 80s. This expense can cost over $6,000 a month, so plan early on. Two Cents is a new blog from Lifehacker all about personal…

And if you end up dying in your forties from stress then non of this applies to you.

I do find it curious that others find it harder to read, but perhaps I should have said it makes it easier to SCAN a paragraph, and also to pick up if I left off in the middle of one. Seeing a small gap tells me at a glance that a sentence ends and a new one begins. Different people have different views, though, so…

Ya, I've gotten some responses like that before. But like I said, I've usually already made the buying decision. So just trying to tip the scale a bit more in my favor. If the price isn't where I want it for me to feel comfortable with buying, then I make an offer. I usually have reasons/logic/justification to…

No matter how bad you want what someone else has, the minute you start negotiating, you really DON'T want it. You have to be able to leave the deal on the table if you can't get the terms you want. Make them sell the deal to you.

Silence. Most people are unnerved when their offer is met with silence for a few minutes, and if they're not experienced, their desire to fill the silence may cause them to sweeten the deal to get a response.

Because you can look at the iAd code yourself.

If you aren't willing to walk away you aren't really negotiating.

No, because Google harvests and sells it. Seriously, people, this is not a privacy issue. It's anonymous and secure. This is all a bunch of FUD.

As far as anybody knows, Apple isn't trying to monetize the data by analyzing it to determine how best to advertise to its users. In fact, for the most part the data itself is anonymous to Apple. It's only a security risk if some third party breaks into Apple.

Interesting. Another consideration might be the age of the hiring manager.

From what I've read, the guidelines specify an increased percentage of non-fiction. Since it's a percentage, this would suggest that non-fiction is taking up more of the share of total reading material and, hence, fiction material would decrease. English is the class fiction is most read in; science and math don't…

Looking at this made me want to slam my head into my desk.

It is funny that you mention forging cable damascus; I have had blacksmithing on my resume since my early days at college, and I can honestly say that it has gotten me where I am today. It also helps that I am a material science engineer, so there was quite a bit of technical crossover.

If you have a pet these car alternatives aren't good options. I can't take my pet in most cabs, any public transportation, Uber and/or Lyft . I want to take my dog anywhere I better have my own car or we're walking there together. I know that sounds ridiculous to some, but I love taking my dog with me in the warmer…

The first THREE jobs I had out of college all said the same thing during the interview:
"I see you have Tae Kwon Do on your resume..."
and that would launch into a long discussion about martial arts. It had absolutely nothing to do with the job but got me talking on friendly terms with the interviewer instead of the…

Good looking out on this one! Love having one of these around! No better way to check if your oil is hot enough for deep frying.

I purchased an elaborate casket for my grandmother's viewing. I didn't want anyone to think I didn't love her. She was cremated the next day.
