I like to disassemble mine once a year and blast it with the leaf-blower.

Check your math, bub. 1000 miles per month puts you 2000 miles over your annual limit.

Well, it reads to me like you're advising to avoid debt at all costs (no pun intended). If that's not your intention, we can agree to disagree. Totally agree on the number of overweight and over-indebted people though.

I like your fire metaphor with regard to debt, but I don't like the conclusion that it's all bad or that most people (your words) are unaware of the danger. Your implication is that fire cannot be controlled, therefore everyone should eat cold vegetables all the time because building a fire to cook a steak can only…

What I call it actually matters, because it's two totally different things. There's money that you have for use today and money that is intended to be used at a future date. Putting your cash under the mattress involves uncertainty about getting robbed. Putting it in a savings/checking account involves uncertainty…

What you're describing is called "net revenue" not investing. Making money is a good thing, but it should not be confused with a retirement plan..

A HUGE piece of this is the part about not reading the news and checking the stock price. Seriously, looking at it every day and seeing the tiny, temporary highs & lows will make you think that you can actively manage your portfolio. But there are PILES of studies on how active trading reduces your overall gain, so…

I would be careful in putting too much emphasis on P/E ratios, they are certainly NOT static nor an impartial statistic. For example, should you look at the YTD, 12-mo, 24-mo, 60-mo, or ITD historical P/E? Your chart, for example, shows average P/E over the period 1948 to date, but the S&P 500 index (according to…

If I may be so bold as to bottom-line this for you: Stocks (the market) don't go up because they just went down and they don't go down because they just went up.

In a similar vein, I'm looking for filing cabinets. IKEA is too small, MaxOfficeStaplesDepot is too flimsy.

Help! I need a good, affordable, desk-height (1-2 drawer) filing cabinet. IKEA has one but it's so tiny that it won't hardly hold anything, while everything under $100-150 at MaxOfficeStaplesDepot is utter crap.

Yeah, I figured more than one other Infiniti owner would recognize that. I'll have to look into the hard vinyl cover. The last dash restoring kit I remember seeing (many years ago) was a filler that you mixed to match the color (thankfully black for me) then 'stamped' with a pattern to match the original texture. And…

Yes, and they probably don't understand the bit about the flag either.

Two questions on ROI -

If MotorWeek EVER had anything remotely negative to say about a car they tested, I must have missed that episode. Hate TopGear if you must, but at least when a car sucks they let you know how and why it sucks.

I was in the market for a new phone recently and a colleague of mine was pushing me to get an OPO. Like you, I couldn't come up with a justification for it. FWIW, I thought the S5 was a little cheap looking/feeling, so I got an LG G3.

I think that you're seeing/have heard is that they rinse tea cups with plain, hot water (which is thrown out) to warm up the cups first. For individuals, tea is often steeped, loose leaf, in the cup.

Essentially, anything with 4 doors is a minivan. So no, the minivan is clearly not dead.

Why are you getting a tax refund? You like giving interest-free loans to people who don't need it? Give it to me?

Check out Bill Burr's latest stand up episode (Netflix) — he does 10 minutes on "groups" that hits it perfectly, you'll love it.
