I will never tire of seeing this.

Are you American? If so, the reason "every single woman" you've talked to prefers cut is because in the U.S., that's what the majority of women are used to (not to mention the unnecessary stigma that is perpetuated). Go to Europe and you will find almost exactly the opposite.

I need to send this article to my mother. She's 60, has relatively little in retirement savings, and just can't seem to see that she needs to do some sacrificing in the next 10 years (because, as much as she wants to, she won't be retiring at 65) in order to enjoy her later years. While she doesn't have any credit…

Edit: Sorry, meant to reply to the overall post =)

Did Kristin mean gross or net? It was specified for debt, but not for housing.

EDIT: It says pre-tax in the second paragraph. Silly me.

How the fuck did champagne beat red wine? I know like, 0 people who drink Champagne outside of weddings and New Year's.

Is it normal to have quite a large fluctuation between scores from different bureaus? My TransUnion score (according to my Discover statement, which provides it for free monthly) is 56 points lower than my Experian score (according to a hard credit check done when I had my auto loan refinanced very recently). I also…

I haven't heard that, but I have heard that married couples where at least one of the two people has a commute over 45 minutes have a waaayyyyy higher likelihood of getting divorced. I heard it on the radio and I can't find the study online, but I thought that was pretty fascinating.

How anyone could "enjoy" a long…

I understand that not everyone has a smart phone that uses group texts, but it's annoying when people can't grasp the concept. "Who is this and why did you text me" etc....UGH. And they just make the group text worse with their responses, it's like a exercise in human stupidity. I only use a group text with small…

Do you mean seasons 3.5 - 6 were bad? Or you did mean that Lost only had 1.5 good seasons? You're not very good at math.

It makes it so much easier to switch, though, once you get there. My sister went to uni in the UK and it was a huuuuge process for her to switch from drama (to law). She ultimately switched universities (and cities).

Good question. I see this statistic cited all the time, but really, there's a huge difference between most of that remaining 32% graduating in the next year or two, or not graduating at all. I can't find much data on it.

I spent too much money on a new car when I landed my first post-college job, which is like the most common mistake young people make. I just wanted to get out of my shitty little beater and into something I wouldn't be ashamed of driving up to the office. The payments aren't crushing me or anything, but I definitely…

I really don't think Mindy thinks she's all that. I thought her book was witty and funny and super self-deprecating. She talks about how she was the worst SNL cast writer and only lasted like a month.

...is "sketchy" offensive?

Yeah, we're saying that if they're going to make haphazard "exceptions", Washington (salmon) should be one of them because the current logic is fucking stupid.

Except they have alligator for Florida, and tofu for California, so they're not really following their own rules.

Haha, thanks. I figured there wouldn't be a clear-cut answer. Could I perhaps put it somewhere below, as part of the job description? I.e. "promoted to senior associate in [insert month, year]"

Aw, I missed the Q&A. Hopefully someone can answer this, anyway, because I've always wondered what an expert would say:

I disagree. I use my credit card for all of my daily purchases, so to speak (groceries, etc) and the online capability to categorize and analyze my expenses, as well as link it to budgeting software, such as Mint, is extremely useful. I pay it off every month so that I'm not paying those interest costs, and I only use…
