You could have made this a lot simpler: Borrowing for investment or major capital purchases is okay, borrowing for anything else is not.

It is not illegal for them to friend you on Facebook. It is also not illegal for them to ask you if you go to church. But smart interviewers don't ask the latter because they know it might result in a lawsuit. The question is, why, after years of training to avoid asking questions that might lead to charges of…

Facebook was right when they pointed out the liability that companies are exposing themselves to by doing this. Once they friend you, they can likely find out your religious beliefs, family circumstances, whether or not you had a serious illness in the past, and all sorts of other things that they are typically VERY…

Under "Local home business permits", why not a choice (e) rent an office? It certainly seems like a preferable choice to moving.

I will also add that if you are growing and learning in a job that makes the best use of your skills and have a good mentor, you will be more successful financially in the long run than if you are in a dead end job where you don't learn anything new and don't care about what you are doing.

I disagree. The target audience for this cheat sheet is not a service employee making $10/hour, it's a professional who has the skills and flexibility to change jobs when they answer "no" to many of these questions. Assuming you are in the latter category, you will be a happier, more satisfied human being if you worry…

That's a terrible idea. Taxes distort markets. The optimal solution is to tax every transaction a little bit, not to tax only a few types of transactions a lot.

Sometimes I work so hard that I forget to eat, sleep, or even shower. Eventually I become a rotting corpse which spreads disease to the rest of the company.

I got Windows 7 Pro (Steve Ballmer autographed edition! :) ) for free by signing up to host a house party, and I got Office 2010 for $10 through the Microsoft Home Use Program.

No, you are still arguing with nefarious-sounding vague threats about losing control of your privacy and personal data. I read the article and many of the comments, and I don't see anyone spelling out why it's a problem if companies collect your personal data, regardless of whether you want them to have it or not.

Straight pepper spray. After all, it's a food product, essentially.

I trust the Oxford English Dictionary over Jon Gingerich:

Just do what I did: Ask one of your rich relatives for an "Automatic Coffee Center" as a wedding gift. (I got one of the Jura-Capresso models.) Fill with water and whole bean coffee, and you can have a perfect espresso or cup of coffee in about 60 seconds. (I've made ~1,400 cups of coffee on my machine in the five…

Google "Dana Laird". The driver who opened his door into her got a traffic citation. She got a funeral. The fact remains that each and every one of us bear ultimate responsibility for our own safety.

So let me get this straight, Gary: "Social Media Guru" is not okay, but "Social Media Maven" and "Social Media Expert" are okay?

I'm not trying to shirk responsibility here as a driver, but if I open my door into a cyclist, it's the cyclist that is at risk of injury or death. That means, unfortunately, that it's the cyclist that needs to be exceptionally careful riding past a row of parallel parked cars. I'll do my best to remember to look…
