I think they are saying soda is cheaper at the grocer when it’s in sake there. So grocer sale price < Costco.

or just get a Sallie Mae card

Clearly you're afraid of that scary black Malibu. That's the reason you gave for not stopping: you'd be afraid to stop.

Holy shit that was quick. You're literally defending someone that evaded being pulled over. Am I supposed to applaud??? No. I don't enjoy having a convoy make me go ten to twenty under the limit so yall can show off the capabilities off your machines.

You think anyone believes that BS? Are you saying that the biker was innocent, shouldn't pull over when being stopped by the police, and didn't evade? Are you seriously suggesting that the biker pulled over at the first opportunity after getting off the freeway immediately?? Pathetic lies.

Making claims that the cop somehow was about to kill the biker is an outright lie!

The speed was down to a crawl when the attempt to pin him happened. Hardly life threatening.

I hope the moron chasing and filming this is arrested.

The bike was evading. Should have pinned him enough to stop him. How is it today the criminals are now the victims?

Exactly. We take advantage of these offers every chance we get. Then we calculate a monthly payment that allows it to be paid off 1 month before the end of the promotional period and set up automatic payments. Then we forget about it.

There is nothing "deceptive" about it. You just have to be aware, and make you choices accordingly. Having 6 months to pay it off, instead of right out of pocket can have some advantages.

Cue all the people who want to tell you that you can't be personally responsible or financially successful if you use eeeeevil credit cards.

I think modplan's point — which is valid — is that you are "supposed" to make more the further you progress in your career. Presumably the median income of a soon-to-retire is more likely to be closer to $125K, than a recent college grad.

This point is often lost when viewing interest rates w/o a historical perspective. Not that it works this way for every generation, but consider:

My grandparents purchased their house in 1960, their 30 year mortgage required payments of $175 per month. At the time, it was 30% of their income. By the time 1990 rolled…

You don't need to be a smart market investor to beat 3%-5% returns. You just need to by a few index funds and leave them alone.

A smart markets investor is one that doesn't invest in individual stocks at all. It's usually better to minimize risk through diversified investments rather than putting everything into illiquid assets tied to the value of the same local market. Wu Tang Financial has some great guidance regarding that point.

Really? Come on they donate organs all the time!

I know a lot of people abide by that idea (get rid of your credit cards all together, live a cash-only life) but it is possible to play the credit game and win - and it helps to have a good credit history if you want to buy a house or a car and you're not a gozillionaire.

Why would I bother trying to get lower interest rates on a credit card? Interest rate is irrelevant when you actually manage your money properly and pay it off in full every month.

I would say that since they're both with the same company and you're able to manage and observe them with ease, there's no reason to roll them together if you don't want to. Part of the reason rolling old 401(k)s into new ones works is because a: it gives you a single place to go to manage all of your retirement…
