It largely depends on the house, but if you're going to finish, make sure you do something interesting with it. My wife and I were looking at a house in our neighborhood with the exact same floorplan as ours except they have a finished basement and we don't. When you factor in that our house is much more updated,…

For Mexico, especially, yes. The national team has played 14 friendlies in the US in the last three years and has another one in August. Hell, 9 of their last 10 friendlies have been played in the US, with the only exception being the US's win in Azteca last year.

This. All of this. Also, make sure to get a home warranty if you didn't already get your seller to purchase it. They usually run $400-600 and I'd usually have the seller pay for it, but it's so worth it. Here are the things we've had to do in the first 10 weeks (yes WEEKS) we've had our house.

Way to cherry pick something that's not actually corn meal, but a corn bread mix. And still, all that's in there is corn meal, flour, baking soda, salt, and vitamins.

...processed wheat or corn...

In other other words: the first game at the Vet was played 25 days before the Marlins' current manager was born.

If you're just living together, then I think it makes sense to keep the finances separate because, should something go wrong, there's no real legal method (like divorce) to determine what's his and what's hers.

What an eloquent way of demonstrating the backward bending labor curve.

My inlaws love Cincinnati Chili, though I found it awful at first. I find, if you think of it less as "chili" and more as "Mediterranean Spaghetti," it's a lot better. Because it really is just spaghetti with Mediterranean (not Italian) spices.

As a stew, it should really be irrelevant what's in chili, so long as you have chili spices. That's what really matters.

"How to Cut Your Spending"

Not only is the audience less likely to have cable, but people who do have it aren't likely to peruse these types of articles.

Seriously. The address appears to be some dude's house in California. The phone number only links back to this website. The website is registered anonymously through GoDaddy. Best case is the service works as intended but eventually gets overwhelmed if it becomes popular. Worst case, it's a scam. Other worst…

And the only reason I know that is because I've been sitting on this link forever wanting to do this but not having my own place to do it in. Now that I do, I might just get around to making this happen.

Lifehacker did it!

Sorry I wasn't clear. This is a separate tax from the home property taxes. This tax is paid each year when you renew your registration. So if you don't have a car, you wouldn't be auto taxes, but you'd still have property taxes if you have a house.

Because it's worth more. At least in my state, we pay annual taxes on vehicles and the property tax is based on the value of the car, so a 2008 Pontiac Grand Prix, is taxed more than a 1995 Pontiac Grand Prix and a 2008 Lincoln Navigator is taxed way more than either.

An important thing to remember that many people forget is the added cost of insurance and taxes for a new car. My 1995 Pontiac Grand Prix is currently costing me about $30/month for liability only insurance and $24/yr in property taxes. If I upgraded to a 2008 model, I'd be spending $150/yr in property taxes and…

As I mentioned below, this is not a new tax. This law merely authorizes states to collect use taxes from businesses as opposed to consumers. No new taxes are being created, merely old taxes being enforced. And this is only "leveling the playing field" in the sense that it allows states to properly enforce their tax…

I can't say for every state, but Illinois conducted a study in 2011 and found that they lost $152 million from consumers and businesses failing to pay use taxes on internet purchases. The projected loss for 2013 is $212 million.
