Just be careful. My wife and I thought the same things about our jobs (regular pay increases, promotions, etc.) as a city employee and a teacher. Then she lost her teaching job two weeks before we closed. Thankfully she got a new job pretty quick, but it was about 25% less pay. We purposely didn't over-extend…

I second this whole-heartedly. My wife recently started teaching voice lessons on the side and, while she's only got three students at the moment, she's bringing in $180/mo for less than two hours per week of work. That extra cash can be immensely helpful

A schoolboy rugby player died from second impact syndrome after playing rugby for 25 minutes and colliding with another player, an inquest has heard.

LSU (13-1) 40, Oregon (12-2) 27

I think that's a really underrated piece of it. People have a strong bias against failure and against change, so they try to avoid both. I currently have an iPhone and when I decide to upgrade it will probably be for another iPhone because my experience is that they work and I can't say the same about any other…

Check your withholding. My wife just started a new job this summer and in trying to figure out our tax stuff, we realized that my employer was pretty severely under-withholding federal taxes from my paycheck (I'd blame them/the IRS, but I should know better how stupid their system is). It was a problem last year but…

Holy crap.

Wow, massive failure of the Finkbeiner Test, Tracie. That's just appalling.

Tip #1 - Never draft an Air Force quarterback.

Unless it's changing again, the permanent PMI for an FHA loan only applies to loans where the Loan to Value ratio is more than 90% (less than 10% down payment).

Also note that this does not apply to FHA loans made after April 1, 2013. The new FHA guidelines require you to keep PMI for 11 years, no matter how much the value of your home increases or how fast you pay off your mortgage. The only way to get out of it in that case would be to refinance with a conventional…

A home warranty only covers certain things, though. We've been in our house about four months and we've spent about $4k replacing gutters and shoring up the foundation, none of which was covered by insurance or the warranty.

Forgot the link.

Notre Dame is part of the CLC (see link below). Navy, however, is not, and is the only independent school not to be. I'm going with Navy.

Well given that the Wii U is actually backwards compatible, it's likely people buying Wii U games for the Wii, which is bad news for the Wii U, but good news for the Wii (since people are apparently still buying enough games for it to warrant this sign). I'd imagine you could have found similar signs during the…

Yeah, you'll be fine. Besides, what do people do on Summer holidays anyway other than sit around and drink? Now they get to sit around and drink with friends and family.

We have a close, but spread-out family, too (not quite BC to Quebec but South Dakota, Minnesota, southern Kansas, and Kentucky. Three of the four cousins all got married on holiday Sundays and it was great for everybody. Just make sure you throw a good party (and maybe plan an evening activity for the night before…

I kind of like holiday weekend wedding. It gives you a day to travel, a day for the wedding, and a day to travel back without having to take any vacation. On my mom's side of the family, three of the four cousins had Sunday weddings before a holiday (one Memorial Day, one Presidents' Day, one July 3rd). The fourth…

I would seriously disagree with #1 and #3.
