I'd ideally like 85K. Enough to contribute 10% into my 401k, pay the bills and have enough left over to save a little while still being able to take my family out to eat, go on vacation, etc. After 85k I think you get into an undesirable tax bracket, so you'd need to make much more to have the same take home.

I love my iPhone 5 and much liked the iPhone 4 that preceded it. I hated the Motorola Droid Devour that preceded it, save a few things that were much better: swype; Apples keyboard and auto correct sucks hard. Apparently there's an even better type swype app out there but I'm cut off as an IOS user. 2: widgets - can I…

I used to work at a news station and we had a similar lead anchor who was old, white and entitled. He was routinely drunk at work and made inappropriate comments to everyone. I'm sure when they fired his ass he was the victim in his mind as well, but in reality he was just a huge pompous douche.

Reasonable adult? Is that a joke? Look at the idiots in power across all political/economic/social spectra and the people who put them there. It'll be a miracle if we can save this country before they brainwash enough followers to carry on their moronic crusades.

Vonnegut? Really?

I worked in early stage collections so nobody was in danger of getting sued at that point. If you're in late stage collections I agree its probably not an advisable tactic. We didn't sue anyone, we charged off accounts older than 6 months and sold them to a nastier collection agency.

Creditors aren't allowed to call more than once per day, however it doesn't count as a call if the person doesn't answer or they do not identify themselves as creditors. If you answer on the first call, acknowledge who you are and let them identify themselves via their script then say "I'm working on it, thank you"…

Hey, give the patents a break. They're out wrecking the global economy, not creating jobs for fun and profit. Would you wanna trade places with them? Didn't think so.

Out of reach is completely accurate. That's less than 3% of the population. I followed the formula to the best of the opportunities presented to me (the playing field certainly is not level) and I don't clear 5k a month gross income. Yet, compared to most of my friends from college, I'm doing very well. This detached…

Or ever. Ugh.

Play death match servers to raise your skill levels quickly. Also handy for warming up.

This is good info but your PowerPoint isn't going to make or break your presentation. You're trying to persuade people to adopt an idea so you need to appeal to them emotionally - that means giving a good presentation. Making eye contact, engaging the audience, using gestures, controlling the volume and timbre of your…

Edit

Don’t forget that with federal loans you have forgiveness built into two of the repayment plans based on income after 25 years. I sat down and did some rudimentary math. If you borrowed 100K, at the 10 year standard repayment plan you’d pay $1,150.80 a month for a total of $138,096.40. (38% more than what you…

How would they make money?

I'm curious about their business model. Are they a non-profit? If so it makes sense - they could get grant money for providing needy people with a service other payday lenders leverage to the point of exploration and offer an easy way for the wealthy to maximize their charity write offs while feeling good about…

How dare you discount R Kelly!

Save them for the low wage menial jobs of the future...

Screw jeans, I want polyester pants. Never fade! Never need to be ironed! Don't shrink! Bring back polyester!

That's clearly a vice. Pun intended!
