Well 40-50% is not uncommon and the more you make, the easier it is to justify spending more. Especially if you make over $100,000 a year. But, should there be an emergency or you lose a job...you need a heck of a lot larger emergency fund.

One thing I've learned in my short time as a home owner is maintenance is where a lot of money is spent. I've spent a lot of money doing small repairs and upgrades. I can't imagine the maintenance on a property that size. 2 acres would be a pain to maintain.

I don't think that's the problem. I think the problem is that people don't know how to budget properly and get a place out of their budget.

No it won't. FSU bought insurance for him incase he slipped out of the first round. So no matter if he gets drafted or not, he'll get his first round paycheck for 5 years. Worst case, he gets kicked out of FSU and has between now and May to use prepare for the NFL draft without having to worry about classes or…

While my experience is limited the biggest advice is the simplest, be willing to walk away. There is always another car and another dealer.

I would prefer another story. I love mass effect and replayed it a number of times. It is one of the few games I've bought that was worth every penny.

Did he also write a letter to ESPN for re-airing the highlight in HD? Did he write a letter to all the websites that posted the same or similar photos?

Another thing to note is that if it's certified you can buy it uncertified for less. I've had dealers offer to sell me a BMW for $2,000 minus a certification so there is that. I don't know how that works from the dealer's perspective, but I have been offered that. If it qualifies for certification and it's a good…

Spot on, but you'll also occasionally get an outlier. Like yesterday I went driving for fun and passed s guy driving a stop Obama bumper sticker on a Nissan Leaf.

You're right they won't. And if he injures himself again, they'll wish he had. No team will want him then and they'll be forced to amnesty him. Or they could get a first or a couple of firsts for him. But that's business.

I swear, he has to be one injury away from being traded. I don't know how the Bulls can tolerate the up and down roller coaster. He has unquestionable talent and when healthy he is a top 10 players, but from a management point of view, a guy who gives you 15-20 points every game is better then a guy who can give you…

I love hearing these stories. Everyone always talks about their mom as athletes. But sometimes the dad are the unsung heroes. They teach the kid how to throw in the backyard, they are there for games and honestly I just like hearing a great story about a kid's supportive father. That's a real man for you.

I don't think any one dealership does all these things, but rather dozens of dealerships do one of these things. I don't want to believe someone would be so shady with contracts and hide numbers, but then again it isn't surprising.

I'll find out soon enough. I just don't know if they mean 30 hours or 48 hours or 50 hours. I mean, all are technically two days. Does it just get into the second day or does it complete the second day?

While I haven't bought anything from them, I have been impressed. Their 41 megapixel camera phone is impressive. This device looks good and seems to have lots of good sensors. They are combining years of research in wearables with years in the health care industry to create something useful for consumers. They…

I was once in Mexico doing study abroad and the craziest thing happened.

One of the apps for glass that could be useful is a closed captioning system. Users can watch the movie and get closed captioning in a discreet device as the movie theater devices aren't great and pretty bulky.

I ordered one since it's what I study. What's surprising to me is that they kept something like this so quiet and why.

I study these devices and actually Microsoft has done a lot with wearables. Then had a few prototyoe smart watches in 2004, some awesome tech, an amazing way to share data. They also had a camera necklace like Memento, but much earlier and that was used by researchers in care facilities.

I've always thought 11 was the prime age to leave children alone.
