You paid them enough to do so . Always shop around, it keeps them honest.

Most of those prices are insane. Where are you taking your vehicle for repairs?

<$100 radiator and maybe an 1 hour of labor.

I use a coffee grinder just for nuts (almonds) and spices (whole peppercorn). Don't know how well chocolate will work, might want to freeze it first.

My husband got me that one as a present. Ken Onion knives are an interesting, "off the beaten path" design and very good quality. For me, it's a bit large to carry as a an everyday knife. I would caution using that in a pants pocket, as the Speed Safe feature can trigger if you're not pay...

I wanted a 8 GB RAM and my wife insisted on a Intel i5 Processor.

Nice, report back when you upgraded to an octocopter. I bought a blow out $99 nitro 4x4 R/C and had a little fun, but it was a money pit. It's sitting on the shelf because the clutch (centrifugal) is blown, it was fun while it lasted. My wife would come out with me when I ran it, but she didn't unde...

I think the best advice I saw in a similar thread was to demonstrate to those that have the greatest investment in the 401k that they are leaving money on the table and let them do the heavy lifting. I think sometimes HR gets gate keeper syndrome and will shoot you down because they can.

All I know is in the short there are ups and downs but in the long its uphill. I check my Vanguard Roth and Brokerage every 1-3 days, mostly because I have only been investing beyond my 401k for a short time. I don't get anxious I just like to see the ebb and flows.

I get 2% cash back on Fidelity Amex and Priceline Visa. What is the point of cash?

I recently purchases a used Motoroal Droid X2 (Sprint/PagePlus) and the user didn't wipe it before hand. If you are coming from an iPhone I doubt you will like an Android. Drop the postpaid, go prepaid and get a used iPhone 4 and you will be set for another two years.

Might just ask them to honor the coupon. They already know you can return and redo the transaction, I see no issue in that if they want to be stubborn.

I signed up for so many free magazines I get so many offers, they eventually thin out. WSJ 6 months was the worst free subscription, too much too read and too much calling after it ended. Businessweek is my current favorite free subscription and maybe the only one left, I stopped signing up.

swapalease.com and leasetrader.com might be good options.

I went in for $5k on that fund on 4/1/13 and earlier today it was at $5014.xx and now its at $5054.xx. I read today that the summer usually yields a slump in the market, so buy more :-). My brokerage account was looking pretty sad today at opening and now it is looking quite well. Wellesley is held ...

I think Mint does a good job and I use it separately for me and the wife. I spend as little as possible with occasion splurges. Put you savings first and spend the rest, needs first then wants. As time goes on you will/should save more and spend less, but it comes with time. I am at the point that I...

Buy a vehicle that will provide the lowest cost of ownership for your needs, anything beyond that is a splurge. I will be installing brakes on the rear of my 2004 Honda Accord LX with 168k this weekend. I would love to move into a new car but I don't need it and it doesn't make sense. If I ever splu...

I would probably take the Amazon.com 5% bonus.

I would put your new car dreams on hold and buy something used and cheap until your student loan is paid off, that is a pretty high rate. If you can't resist then get something that cost less and is reliable (Civic, Corolla, etc.) and finance through PenFed for 1.74% (unless you can get lower). The ...

I can fix automobiles but no longer have to or want to, but I still do cause I am cheap. I have swapped a few engine and transmissions, engine rebuild, clutch replacements, etc. My time is worth more now so it will probably be new for now on and keep for at least 10 years/200k.

Tell them no thank you, until they provide a legal document/notice that indicates, if you don't, you will have a problem, then decide what your time and effort is worth.

The price between new and used was too close so we bought new, 2012 Honda Civic. The cash for clunkers destroyed the used car market, more so for Honda and Toyota.

Are they the building and/or unit (yours) owner and you their tenant? If so, you don't have a leg to stand on. If they are not tell them to [leave --admin LadyGeek]. I use to be a nice guy, it didn't work universally.

The least amount of vehicle you NEED that provides the lowest cost of ownership. Right now that is a 2012 Civic for the wife, returns 35-41+ mpg (41mpg at 70mph). Once we need something larger will probably go Mazda5, unless something else provides lower cost of ownership at the time of NEED. I have...

I use my Roth as an emergency fund that will hopefully remain a retirement fund. You can always pull out the principle tax and penalty free. My game plan now is to invest in taxable and transfer max Roth near yearly deadline. I am currently maxing 401k and Roth. My income is close to yours.
