What I learned from this video: Playing "When the Saints Go Marching In" in a minor key makes it sound like the Game of Thrones theme.

I'm pretty sure the whole Kroger family does this, so that would be Kroger, Dillon's, Ralph's, Smith's, Harris Teeter, and bunch of others. It really is great. We have our cards attached to our church and a couple of choirs that my wife sings in.

2. I should have been clearer that I was speaking about multiple-income families. IBR scales quickly with income and can end up being higher than the standard repayment plan. If I were single with my current income (about one-third the student loan debt), my IBR payment would be about half of the standard payment. …

There are a lot of factors to consider on this, though.

I've got two or three rotisserie chicken carcasses sitting in my freezer right now just waiting for the next time I need to make stock. It really is the easiest way to go and makes really good stock.

Today the University of Notre Dame announced its new uniform combination for 2015: blue jerseys with black helmets.

Dessert is when we will usually go out. I make the dinner and do all the lavishing, but then we go out to a nice frou-frou restaurant where we could have dropped $120 on scallops and steak, but instead spend $40 on really nice, house-made desserts, scotch, and good wine. By going out at 8:30 or 9:00 we miss the…

It kind of goes along with

Ramsey is using 8-10% now, which is more realistic, but it's still much better than Your Money or Your Life, which is telling you that you can get an 8% return on US Treasury bonds.

I played for a long time, long enough to get to Level 100 anyway. I got kind of bored with it after a while, though, and moved on to other games. If heists come sometime soon, I'll probably hop back on and hopefully grab the last couple of trophies I need for the game.

I would also add: don't feel like you have to be able to enjoy every type of art. For example, I don't particularly enjoy paintings. For some reason I don't react to them emotionally. But photography and detailed pencil drawings I love. I could stare at the intricacies of a finely composed photograph for hours.

That last bit is not accurate. You can't be taxed on "interest saved" because, by definition, it has not been accrued. It's only assumed interest, not charged interest. You don't actually owe that money until it's been accrued, thus it's not a negotiated debt.

It's spatter. Blood spatter. One would expect a seasoned crime reporter to know that.

In his defense, walking unarmed through an apartment door is a good way to get shot by a skittish NYC cop these days.

Man, have I got a coach for them.

I think this article is more about not knowing exactly what the bill is charging you for. I mean, my water and power bills fluctuate every month so they could add a fee and, if I didn't look at my statements, I probably wouldn't notice unless it was particularly large.

Depends on where you live. When we bought, our combined income for a teacher and a librarian was about $80k and we bought a nice house for $132k. And this was not even two years ago.

You might want to look at your withholding, too. Generally, when you switch your W4 to "Married Filing Jointly" and list two exemptions, the amount withheld goes down (because they're assuming yours is the only job supporting both people). Your "nice return" may have just gone into your paycheck because less was…

The idea is to count up in small increments using fives and tens.
