I was looking at the purchase options for YNAB and they do offer a 2-license package for $80. So you and a friend could save $20 a piece if you went for that deal.

Here's another DIY antenna design: [lifehacker.com] It's a bit more robust, made from wood and coat hangers. I've been using it to watch live TV ever since we cut cable a few years ago. Works like a charm!

I definitely appreciate the full disclosure about YNAB fans being advised to vote in the poll by the founder. However, it does make me a bit leery of trusting the poll results. How often does a $60+ piece of software win a Hive Five. It would be interesting to know how many of the YNAB fans were first-time commenters…

That's not necessarily true. If you run properly while barefoot and land on the balls of your feet instead of on your heels, you will experience very minimal impact forces. Your foot is a naturally designed suspension system. Running shoes with "all that cushioning" weren't invented until the 1970s. Humans were…

I know I would sleep better if my cats didn't share the bed. Having them lay on top of my feet or rub their whiskers in my face at 3am makes for restless nights. However, I don't have the heart to lock them out of the room at night :/

Another way to explain why hard credit checks negatively affect your score is because it is an indication that you may soon be taking (or already have taken) on more debt (i.e. mortgage, car loan, etc). This in turn make you less desirable for other institutions to loan you money.

Yup, if you read through the report you'll notice they say fixed wireless data was not included because of the small sample size. They do have raw data for fixed wireless but simply not enough data points to draw a valid conclusion. Sign-up for the program and there's a good chance you'll be selected if you are a…

If you would like to volunteer for the panel for the FCC study referenced in the article, they are still accepting applicants: [www.samknows.com]

To speed up decomposition and reduce the odor, you can sprinkle lime (calcium carbonate) on the animal. You can find it in the garden section at Lowe's or Home Depot.

It can depend on where you are looking to rent. If you aren't opposed to going through a Realtor, there might be a locally run service to help people like you find a home. For example, here in Austin we have [www.austinhomesearch.com.] It tends to be more accurate and complete than the big sites like Trulia and…

If you're moving to a new city and can't decide which neighborhood best suits you, check out [nabewise.com] It is full of reviews and descriptions of neighborhoods. Are you looking for a neighborhood with a trendy nightlife, lots of traffic, full of retired seniors, pet friendly, and zero parks? If it exists, Nabwise…

This is somewhat on topic. I'm debating whether I should switch from a Cash-Back rewards credit card to a Airline rewards credit card. I'm not a frequent flyer (maybe twice a year) but would like to travel more if I could make it cheaper. I currently use the Costco Amex (1-3% cash back) and am thinking about switching…

For cable, internet, and cell phone bills it absolutely works to simply ask for a lower rate. I recently had my TWC internet bill reduced from $60 to $30 (18Mbps down). The rate is good for a year and the retention rep gave me her direct number. She said to simply call back when the promo rate expires and she'll sign…

Square fan here! It's so easy to use! I'm captain of an adult kickball team and most of my players paid me the league registration fee using Square. I just pulled out my phone and swiped their cards right after one of our games.

Yeah, being the DJ isn't mandatory. As long as there is at least one person on stage playing music, everyone else can just chill out and listen.
