I found that it was easier to make more money then I could ever spend though.

I had an iPhone 3G and iTunes was THE reason I left. What a holy fustercluck! I know it’s changed a lot since then but I learned an open platform is way more flexible and to my liking than Apple’s walled garden, propriety software/hardware and price premium (aka “ignorance tax”).

I had iPhone until 5S. Then, switched to Nexus, Samsung and now LG. I always wished to stay with Apple but I can’t justify paying $1K for a phone that last til 2pm and having 64/128G memory for my stuffs and be my primary camera, camcorder, and music machine. My Android is no iPhone and I miss the quality of it. But…

I’m on Android (One Plus One with Cyanogen OS) and I would switch to:

Android has a lot of options for a lot of people. My first Android phone was the Casio Commando. A very tough phone right out of the box that survived water, drops, a dip in acid and a 4 year old tossing it in the toilet.

Yeah, take this shit over to Gawker.

Umm... I aint a Bush lover (more centre of the road), but to lay the banking crisis entirely at their (the Bush’s) feet is definitely not the correct interpretation. You may want to investigate this a bit more, say, by reading about legislation that Clinton pushed for and had enacted late in his presidency... Not…

It’s not at all clear to me what these robo advisers are supposed to be useful for. Their websites push tax loss harvesting as a major advantage, but that just shifts the timing of the tax burden; it doesn’t change how much you pay in taxes overall. The timing of taxes also has no influence on compounded returns.

If…

Or you could just do without content that isn’t available in your area. It might incentivize the companies to bring it there.

It’s usually NC State that gets forgotten in discussions involving Duke and UNC.

I’ve lived in the Research Triangle region for 21 years (this includes Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill, plus the town of Cary - where SAS is located). There is growth in high tech companies (this is also the WW Headquarters for Lenovo - the PC company, as well), plus lots of banking roles. You have healthcare (Glaxo…

Unless Cisco started there, im sure the school plays a significant factor. Especially if they have strong departments in the areas that the companies are interested in. They can draw upon the graduates of those departments and even have some influence as to what is taught because of the financial contribution that the…

I’ll vouch for Toyota. My 2004 RAV4 has only recently needed very minor repairs (replaced a couple of seals), still purring like a kitten after 187,000 miles. Change the oil, get all the scheduled maintenance, replace expendables like tires and fluids when you’re supposed to, and it just keeps on running. They can…

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

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

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.
