I was an 18 year old who single-handedly put himself through school and paid every bill himself and had parents who couldn't buy birthday presents, but thanks for the lecture, little slugger.

Bless your heart for your current love, it will be wonderful when you blossom in to a broader array of interests. Such is life.…

Really J. Steve? You think it "evens" out? Okay, your math must be that in a world with purple clouds. If I buy a car 1 yr old, and I drive it for 12 yrs, then sell it for the same money YOU paid a year before for 30% more....umm, yeah, that makes sense. Wow, try getting your GED first.

I guess to each his own. I have 2001 Ford Explorer that I have prob had a cost of ownership lower than anyone who buys new. I bought it one year old, and it run great today. I would love to buy a new car, just to have a "new" car. But I can't see getting rid of a car that costs me nothing to drive. I do my own…

I was about to post something snarky about this article (like "How to Get the New iOS 7 and Remove Everything New!"), but then decided that there was enough snarkiness on the Internet. So here's a picture of the baby panda at the National Zoo.

Why are you assuming they're all men? Women can wear pants and have short hair too!

You can love on PayPal all you want. What I'm saying is that it's NOT a bank, and therefore shouldn't be used as one. There are plenty of other options to hold money for the short or long-term. Picking one that is FDIC insured is a better option.

Not only do I have three separate accounts, I have them with three separate institutions. My direct deposits are set up to put so much money in my "Bills" account, so much into my Misc account with Simple and the rest into savings. This ensures bills don't bounce if the wife or myself accidentally spend more than we…

I would definitely avoid using PayPal as a place to keep your money. They have been known to freeze your money for no reason. I take my money out of PayPal as soon as possibly after selling something. Most banks have low-minimum accounts that, while they don't provide a good savings rate (what account does right now),…

So you didn't buy the desk or the boxes then.

I agree to a point. But it's kind of ass-chapping to see all the new kids sign up and get "introductory rates" when if you've been a loyal, never-behind-in-payments customer there's no reward for that.

Not what you are asking for, but how about just leaving Verizon? :) They are overpriced and overrated, + their silly CDMA phones...

Personally, I almost always go with a store brand when it's cheaper except for: ketchup, cereal (depending on the cereal), and canned soup. For pretty much everything else I just buy what's on sale.

Can't a program just be "complete?"

How is the biggest and most economically important city in the country. That also happens to be on the coast and made up of islands. Have the same level of flood protection of Denver?
