I still wrench on motorcycles, but they have gotten a lot more complex.
I do all the routine maintenance and minor items, even building a cafe bike from a barn find, but anything really big tends to land at a dealer. (Which is not much, given the reliability of a modern bike.)
You know what has made all the difference?…

IRAs were nearly brand-new in when I started working my first real full-time job. If only ...
Keep driving used cars. But your main family vehicle can be purchased new and driven for a long, long time (for safety items)
Don’t believe the bank when they tell you how much house you can “afford.”
Credit unions, forever.
Back-…

So he’s keeping his campaign promises, and that is a bad thing?
Interesting.
I guess you are used to Democrat and Republican candidates, who say one thing to get elected, then “evolve” (Dems) or “flip-flop” (GOP.)

If this plan would reduce the time and energy people spend on their taxes, collecting paperwork, storing paperwork and filling out overly complicated forms for the government all the while sweating an audit for a mistake — sounds like a heck of a hack to me! :)

Then you should invest, Skippy, and get in on the gravy train.
Of course, that means you would have to take a personal risk with your own money, wouldn’t it?

Bullfeathers, sn0wslay3r.
Every company that I have worked for, when it was successful, rewarded consumers, and me, and investors, and shareholders.
If it didn’t, I left. Or I sold my shares.

Simplifying taxes overall is a worthy goal. The AMT, like so many tax schemes, is now ensnaring many for whom it was never designed.

My experience is this article is about 10 years behind the curve.

How it works under Obama?
First, find a traitor, or a turncoat, who cost the lives of American soldiers or cops.
Or a criminal convicted of drug and/or ironically, gun crimes against Americans.
Then, turn them loose into American society again.
Rinse, repeat, more than any other president. Ever.

Boss’s internal nickname is Chainsaw, which guys you went to college with let slip at the job site.
I kid thee not.
I turned down the job, and found out later that was the best decision of my former career.
:)

Hmmm. No problem with Friendly+ that I have seen, and it keeps me out of Facebooks claws and Messenger ...

Prove to us you are not guilty.
Sounds like government to me.

All true, but one part I call BS.
There is nothing so relaxing as entering the SECOND WEEK of vacation.
You can literally FEEL the weight lift. :)

I remember my days in a newsroom, when the Metro section was routinely late, despite a dedicated, talented team to put it out.
I told the managing editor it was because of one of the Metro editors making late changes, especially to headlines, on pages already approved.
He insisted that didn’t happen that often, and it…

Tongue pretty much in cheek ... ;):

Five awkward money situations involving your children, and how to handle them:

1) When they tell you exactly what they want for Christmas, and you get it for them and mail it to them, and they don’t even acknowledge that they received it, and you wonder if the USPS lost it, until you…

Plus, there are a lot — A LOT — of Russians in Michigan.
Just sayin’.

I’d add a couple of things:
You can use a string or a straight edge to make sure your tires are aligned after you tighten a chain. It should gently touch all four sidewalls of the two tires on one side.
Lube your cables and keep them properly adjusted.
Learn to change your brake fluid, at least every two years.
Get a…

Here’s some more NoDak advice:
Stay home, snowflake.

Wife, hissing to husband, as family looks on:

“This better be an immersion blender, and not another one of your Adam & Eve ideas, buster!”

Gosh, maybe they should not have been completely in the tank for Hillary?
And not only that, but actually, you know, NOT coordinating and clearing their stories with Clinton Inc. and its various straphangers?
Maybe not allowing its DNC employees to send her questions in advance of “debates?”
Gosh, would any of that have…
