This was covered many months ago, but I thought it might be a good idea to provide an update.If you're returning a rental car in Orlando, and are filling up the car near the airport, be sure to look at the pump price first.There are two gas stations very close to the airport that charge close to $6 per gallon and unfortunately some people don't realize how much they're paying until they are done pumping the gas, because they didn't have the common sense to check the price.There are many other stations only a few blocks away that charge normal prices that are at least $2 less per gallon than these two stations.This has been going on for years.Sun Gas

I know we have a ton of prediction threads, but this one is very narrowly specified.I am looking for FW finance forum member individual predictions on the US National Average Regular Grade gasoline price per gallon as reported by AAA. You can see the current value here:http://fuelgaugereport.opisnet.com/index.aspWhat I am looking for is your prediction time to hitting a price level. Price levels I would like you to predict for are as follows:- $5 a gallon,
- $6 a gallon,
- $8 a gallon,
- $10 a gallon.I have no scientific basis for my predictions, but I will make my predictions:- $5: 2013 Q3,
- $6: 2015 Q3,
- $8: 2017 Q3,
- $10: 2020 Q3.I am just curious how people think about this type of prediction.Then once we have some numbers in, I would like to propose an interesting twist.Thank you in advance for participating.

I'm looking to advance my career and make more money (i.e. That's why I posted this in the Finance forum). I live in a city of about 200,000 people with a very small newspaper.I'm trying to find some sort of robot that will scan the internet and email me anytime jobs are posted with the criteria I have established.I've already set up Careerbuilder & Monster to auto-notify me of positions that are posted on their websites. I would also like to get the same type of email notifications from our local newspaper, some companies nearby that I'm interested in and any other types of Careerbuilder/Monster websites that are popular today.Unfortunately our local newspaper doesn't have an "auto-notify" function, nor do the few companies in the area that I'm interested in.I need to do this quietly since I'm currently employed and would like to remain that way until I find another opportunity/job.I'm not actively looking, but it sure is nice to have Careerbuilder & Monster email me about postitions that might interest me.If anyone knows of some type of internet robot that will search as I've stated above please reply.Thank you.

I have a question: I have carried personal umbrella insurance for many years. However, I'm beginning to wonder if Umbrella insurance really is truly all encompassing. For instance, I have a job which is a lifestyle profession. I'm not a doctor or a lawyer or anything like that, but the profession I work in has me dealing with lots of companies and individuals. I supervise many people. My job is an extension of my lifestyle. I live the way I work and work the way I live. With that being said, if I were to get caught up in any type of litigation which spilled over from my lifestyle job, would Umbrella insurance cover me? Or do I need some other type of insurance to cover for this risk?If I ended up with some type of on the job personal liability (not sure how that would happen, but I've heard of individuals getting sued for their corporate endeavors), would personal umbrella cover litigation costs or provide personal asset protection?
Added @ 12pm EST - haha, very funny. No, I do not run a brothel or escort service or anything of that nature. However, I am in entertainment (which is why I call it a lifestyle job). In any case, my main concern is IF/WHEN there are any suits brought against my employer (see, I am not a business owner) for any on-the-job actions, will my umbrella insurance protect any personal derivative lawsuits that come out of that? There are NO suits under way or being threatened, by the way, so this is really a vague question because I don't have any specifics on a real suit. I just want to know if I need broader coverage for asset protection. Thanks

I'm having some really bad experience with a pre-paid debit card from YapSend. They were ok until another company purchased them called Mango. They claim they do not run a credit check but have asked multiple times for a copy of my passport in color, telephone bills, and a copy of my social security card. I have complied and we are still at an impasse. They have locked the account and no more deposits can be made. It's creepy the way they are behaving. I am now wondering what are they doing with all my personal info if they are not running a credit check.my goal was to use the pre-paid debt card as a way for clients to pay me. I have small part time business. It wouldn't be much money. It would be occasional $100 - $500 payments weekly. I was trying to make it easier to get paid by allowing people to make payments electronically that can be loaded to the pre-paid debit card rather than writing a check. I have started researching other pre-paid debit cards and many of these companies operate outside of the US. The fees are high. It would also be nice to transfer money to a bank account from the debit card and the other way around.Is there a better pre-paid debit card? what has been your experience?
In case people haven't heard, Congress has passed the payroll tax cut deal and Obama will immediately sign it. This means that all wage earners (W2'd and self-employed alike) will see a 2% Social Security tax cut through the end of the year.Regardless of how you feel about the appropriateness of this deal, from a purely financial standpoint, this is a pretty significant amount of money for all of us. If you are a couple each making over $110,100 (the Social Security wage cap in 2012), this deal will save you $4,404 in taxes this year, which is similar to the 2011 tax savings.
I move a lot of money (well, a lot by my standards) around into different investments in order to diversify as much as possible. I don't keep too much in savings since the banks don't pay much interest anymore. However, I do keep a sum of cash at home "just in case." How much do you guys generally stow away in your mattress (or wherever), and what's your reasoning behind it? I'm just trying to decide if I'm keeping too much cash on hand, and I'm curious what people think about it.I keep about $2,000 stowed away in a very secret hiding place. It's enough for me to cover about two-thirds of a month's expenses.
This is somewhat finance related, so I'll see what you guys suggest.The Jist:
My company offers an insurance prem. disc if you score high enough on certain health categories. (You provide a form filled out and signed by a dr)
I explained to the Dr office, I wanted the form filled out from the physical results and signed. I asked if there was a fee fo this. She said no.
Called a Dr office to schedule a physical.
I mentioned my insurance covers a physical 100% and THAT is the service I want.
Receptionist says appt in 2 weeks, come in 1 week early for blood work.
I go in 1 week early, and they call me back and take blood.
The following week I go in for physical.They do standard ht,wt, blood pressure, etc. assistant is doing all of this. She enters these on the form.
A bit later the Dr enters, reads the form, signs it and turns to leave.
I said aren't we finishing the physical. He said, you aren't here for a physical.End up having to speak with the office manager.
He agrees scheduling screwed up and put me down for a regular appt.
He finally agrees to do the EKG and bill for the physical so I wont get charged an office visit. (Didn't complete the physical).A few weeks later, Bill arrives, full price for the "visit" and blood work. Not billed as a physical. $387 due.
I call, go through 3 people, they agree to rebill it after verifying with the office manager.A few weeks later revised bill arrives, at $200 for all the blood work that was not attached to the newly billed "physical"
I call again, through several people, bill is resubmitted.A few weeks later new bill arrives at $112 due. Remaining portion of blood work not approved to be paid.
I call the insurance and discuss at length.
She explains items were tested for that are very unusual for a physical esp at my age unless a dr specificallys asks for them. (I've never seen nor met the Dr, and he didn't know I was coming for a physical a week later)
The insurance doesn't consider these rare items part of a paid physical.
Approx 12 coded items were unpaid.
Insurance lady explains that 3 codes will be paid if they submit them under the right code.
Insurance also says that the Dr office has access to know what is and is not covered by their plan.
I relay this to the dr office.
I again dispute the rest saying I requested my 100% insurance paid physical and whatever the insurance covered is what I intend to pay.They claim its not their place to check my policy and its my bill to pay.
The resubmit to get those 3 codes covered.
New bill arrives saying I owe $75.I call Dr office again to discuss how they want to handle the remainder.
Billing manager says she wont write off the bill.
She says she can only pass it up the chain to the CEO.
(CEO is quite an ass as while at my former job we designed one of his office buildings and he's a prick t owork with. I didnt know this was one of his Drs offices until recently)So, this has gone on now since last of Sept, and here we are mid Feb.
I told the lady, if this goes on my credit, that there will be a lawyer invovled (possibly a bluff, depending if I have a case).My case would be defamation of character (credit report)
but more importantly, insurance fraud because they have billed the insurance for a physical that they knowingly never finished.I think if she calls me back with the verdict I'll ask her to pull that report and tell me if it has all the parts of the physical completed or not.Not sure how else to handle this one.
Hope I'm not flamed, but there is principle involved here, and if I sue em, it wont be for $75 dollars. It would be for a H^^L of a lot more than that.

I know with a lot of mortgages they let you pay on the 16th and it is not considered late even though they say the 15th. Any other cons of doing this?
Some people say you will be paying extra interest for this and some not. Can anyone shed some light on this? Thanks
Not a lot of science here, but might stimulate a debate. So back in 2008 when the economy started to unravel, I was in an okay financial position (meaning: safe job, no debt). I concluded that I wasn't going to get much of a return on stocks for the next few years, and that a lot of people would need money fast. I decided to start loading up on collectibles (vintage comics books, collectible legos, trading cards, artwork, etc). I figured most people would need to sell these items in an economic downturn, and there wouldn't be nearly as much demand (leading to price drops).Fast forward to 2012. Late in 2011 I started to see some action on the sales of some of my items. Vintage comic books ($400-$1000) started to sell here and there. Old collectible toys sets started to skyrocket. Modern artwork (minor) began to climb. I attributed this to the return of disposable income. In the last two months I have seen a severe upturn in the sales of my goods, and many more buyers (raising demand, hence prices). Is this the sign of a bubble? The return of un-necessary spending? Or simply a curiousity?

A couple months ago, I was planning to apply for a card for which someone could get $50 if they "referred" me. I posted here to offer someone the opportunity to refer me. A mod later pointed out that was a no-no. I just didn't know. For situations like this in the future, is there an acceptable way/site/forum to connect? (Craigslist Casual Encounters floated through my head. Eww.)
I imagine there are lots of opps for this kind of thing. (Thinking outside the box for what is probably a stupid idea: Could each of us FWF people set up a blog to refer each other through for stuff like signing up for SwagBucks or buying a book on Amazon? I think there is a kick-back available for that but I have absolutely no idea of how much.)
{Legal fine print: I am in no way suggesting or advocating creating sites to suck away Fatwallet business. Just trying to preempt this topic being taken down.}Also, any thoughts for connecting with people for refer-a-friend locally? I'm thinking for local banks, cable companies, etc. For a while, a community bank here had refer-a-friend and both parties got $20.

I do not know if this question is too technical for FW but I thought I'd give it a shot. As most of us (at least those of us who've had to deal with suspended Passive Activity Losses) are aware, the entire suspended Passive Acitity Losses ("PAL") are released and can be applied against ordinary income in the year in which we dispose of our entire interest in the subject passive activity.My question here is under what circumstances does the sale of a business asset used in connection with a business generating passive income/losses rather than of the entire passive income/loss generating asset/business allow you to release suspended losses and apply them against your ordinary income? Here is the context for my question: we have a couple of rental properties and have suspended PAL's as we are way over the income limit. In the past I've taken standard mileage deductions in connection with those. Last year that car was sold (we replaced it with another one) but the rental properties remain. To my utter surprise, because of the car sale, the tax software is allowing me to release the entire suspended PAL's but only if the car sale resulted in a tax gain rather than a tax loss. I've had lengthy conversations with two of TurboTax's "tax experts" (TurboTax includes the option to consult with its tax experts for free this year) who both confirmed that this is accurate.For the life of me I don't understand why the fact that a business asset gets sold at a gain allows you to release the entire suspended loss but not if the same asset is sold at a loss. Even more importantly, depending on the reles related to this issue, this may be an interesting strategy allowing people to release suspended PAL's without disposing of the entire passive income producing asset.

We'll be arriving in Las Vegas on the morning of March 13 and leaving the morning of March 16.
2 people- My boyfriend and I
500 is about our budget. We are having the flight there and back covered by my boyfriend's employer and they are paying for one night (the 15th) at The Orleans hotel.
We're not really interested in any shows unless there's some for dirt cheap. We really want to go to the Grand Canyon maybe spend 20 bucks on slot machines and eat some good food. I've booked the 2 nights that we have to pay for at the Circus Circus. Seemed to be the cheapest I could get. It's 24 bucks a night with a 7 dollar a day resort charge. So around 70 bucks for the 2 nights. The cheapest bus tour to the Grand Canyon that I can find is this one Here it's 80 dollars a person and we would plan on doing it on the 14th of March.
I'm hoping that someone might know of a cheaper tour. I'd also love to hear recommendations on where to eat and what things we should do while we're down there that are free or close to free. Thanks!
Hello,I just recently found out that NACA is more than just helping people refinance out of high interest rates. They also provide a home buying program that features zero down, zero closing costs and a current rate of 3.875%, which is all around better than anything else I've see.I'm signed up for one of their workshops in the coming weeks, so I don't know much more about this program other than what I've been able to read about online, which is pretty vague.Does anyone here know about this group? Any experiences to share? Is it difficult to qualify? Any idea on their income requirements? Their site says qualifying is character based. Should I avoid wasting my time and stick with an FHA loan?Any comments/advice is appreciated.Thanks

I was having a conversation with my co-workers at lunch and I was surprised to find out how many people had separate bank a/c from their spouse. I would say the split was 50/50. Most had a joint account that they would both fund to pay for common expenses, but had their own accounts otherwise. My question to you - do you have separate accounts? and if so, why?

Includes the XD Gear System, which consists of a XD Gear belt holster, XD Gear double magazine pouch, XD Gear magazine loader, two magazines and a cable lock. Can a gun actually make you shoot better? No, But the right gun actually can allow you to shoot better. The XD is a perfect example. It is designed to work with your body, not against it - allowing you to reach your full potential as a shooter. Pick it up. Point it. Raise an XD naturally to eye level and you will be looking right down the sights. That's what we call Point & Shoot Ergonomics. Try this with some other popular pistols and you may be looking at the top of the slide instead -more like "Point and Adjust." With a pistol like that, you will always need to bend your wrist forward to compensate for the unnatural grip angle. The natural pointability of the XD, combined with the compact size and shape of its polymer grip, makes it feel more like a natural extension of your body than an object in your hand. That's why most people find they shoot better with an XD. Does the XD make them shoot better? No. But it allows them to shoot their best.

This question isn't for me, rather my wife. She has some interest from a potential employer and she would like to make the move. Their HR appears to have this standard procedure where they'll ask you a couple of questions about why you're interested in the position and of course one question asks for salary requirements. It explicitly states you have to put in a number or they'll toss your application. For this specific position we already managed to find out exactly what range the company is willing to pay. When she answered this question she put down a range of $10k for her answer, but the answer itself was within what the company was willing to pay, just on the higher end.She received a response from the HR lady today asking if she'd be willing to interview but wanted to know upfront if she'd be willing to come down by $10k on the low end of her salary requirements. My thinking is this is just the HR drone trying to do her job according to some dumb policy of lowballing everyone that applies. If she gets in front of the hiring manager and makes an impression, she should be able to negotiate from there. I suggested just asking how flexible they were on the salary, ask about bonuses and benefits, and then grudgingly agree just to get the interview at least.Does my suggestion seem sound or any other tips people could offer on how to handle this?
I'm deliberating buying a Whole Life insurance based on an advice from one an insurance agent belonging to one of the top tier mutual companies. The permanent nature of the insurance (versus term), supposedly high dividends, guaranteed cash value, bonds style secure investment, disciplined forced savings tool, non-guaranteed tax free returns at 3-6% interest rate (depending upon duration), ability to withdraw money when I need it ... all sound pretty good. Does $9,500 per year (with no additional riders/waivers) for a 600k whole life sound reasonable for a 39 year old male in very good health?I've heard people say "Buy Term and Inverst the Difference" ... but invest where? Which options give similar secured after tax returns for conservative portion of one's well diversified portfolio?
Last night we went to settlement on a refinance and one of the papers we had to sign had an option that would either let the escrow provider keep the interest, or for a $50 fee we could keep the interest.It seemed a little sneaky, as the page was blurry, small typed and slipped in near the end of the signing process where people probably get fed up and stop reading things.Bonus: The option to let the provider keep the interest had a hand written star next to it.I took the $50 option because even at crappy rates, I should recoup that in at least 2 years.Any thoughts on this subject?

My family has a small dog, and a couple of years ago she bit (broke the skin, but just barely) two people who had stooped down to pet her (on leash). This information got to our insurance company, which decided to not renew our umbrella policy. Now, 2 years later, we have received a letter of non-renewal of our entire homeowner's policy, on the basis of continuing to have the dog. This non-renewal will occur 2 months from now.After questioning our state insurance commission, we have reluctantly accepted the fact that the company has the right to do this.Should we pro-actively find a policy from another company before the existing policy expires, in order to avoid having a cancellation on our "record"?Any suggestions on how to find a new insurance company? We would really like to have both a standard homeowner's policy and an umbrella policy, with or without coverage for dog bites.[Edited to change "balloon policy" to "umbrella policy".]

Bid on 2 properties at a tax lien auction.Gotta wait 2 weeks for security deposit back. I bid on very small extremely prime property liens to learn the process but I saw a lot of the prime properties people actually bid to really low dollar amounts. Seems to work better for the counties for economic viability than the actual investors trying to gain returns.

See below Bloomberg coverage. Although passage in current political environment would seem unlikely, bad ideas tend to hang around waiting their turn at the front ...Sen. Baucus Eyes Inherited IRAs for $4.6B
By Richard Rubin - 2/6/2012
copyright BloombergSenate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus is proposing tougher requirements on inherited individual retirement accounts that would require younger beneficiaries to pay taxes over five years instead of spreading them over their lifetimes. The changes, to be considered by his committee today, would raise $4.6 billion for the Treasury over the next decade, according to a statement from the senators office. Baucus, a Montana Democrat, wants to use the money to help pay for a highway bill the panel is debating in Washington, according to the statement. Baucuss proposal would curtail a tax-planning technique that allows the buildup of tax-free gains inside inherited retirement accounts. Currently, holders of inherited IRAs can take their required taxable distributions over their anticipated lifespan. It would really change the whole playing field for retirement planning, said Ed Slott, an IRA adviser in Rockville Centre, New York. That would make things simpler, but it would really put a crimp in the whole legacy planning people do for IRAs. The proposal includes exceptions for the account owners spouse, beneficiaries within 10 years in age of the account owner, and disabled and chronically ill people, according to a summary by the nonpartisan Joint Committee on Taxation. Children would also be exempt from the new five-year rule until they reached adulthood. Taxable Distributions Owners of regular IRAs must begin taking taxable distributions at age 70 1/2, and they must be taken according to a life-expectancy calculation. Baucus proposal would take effect for people who die starting in 2013. Depending on how the bill is written, beneficiaries in some cases might be able to use rollovers into their own IRAs to avoid the required distributions, said Mary Ann Mancini, who leads the private client group at Bryan Cave LLP in Washington. Mancini said many of her clients dont use IRAs as an estate-planning tool because beneficiaries often want to spend their inheritances. If you can keep it in the IRA with tax-free growth, the longer you can keep it in the IRA, people can come out with millions, she said. The problem is people dont keep it in the IRA. Young people want the money. A Nonstarter Baucuss proposal would return IRAs to their intended purpose as a retirement savings tool and not an estate-planning tool known as a stretch IRA, Slott said. The change, if enacted, would cause people to spend the money in their IRAs rather than leave it as an inheritance for their children, he said. It sounds good, but I think its a nonstarter, Slott said. Theres too much invested in the whole stretch IRA concept. John Olivieri, a partner in the private clients group at White & Case LLP in New York, said the change could increase the taxable income of heirs each year for five years and may push them into a higher income tax bracket, he said. Another potential benefit to the federal government is that because distributions would be taken out faster, there would be less time for the money to accumulate in the IRA tax-free, Olivieri said. Once the money is out of the account it can no longer grow tax-free, he said. Thats where the government may be planning to get the most benefit from this.
If you got a contractor position where you left a FT job for but you realize it may not be the best fit, can the employer cut your contractor position off without going the full length? and without any repercussions? I've never worked with people who are this disrespectful who treat me like dirt/an outsider. They never took me "in". It was supposed to become a permanent role too. The contract was slated for 1 year.
Not sure if these work, but a lot of people rave about it.Seems like a good price:http://www.amazon.com/Philips-goLITE-BLU-Therapy-Device/dp/B001I...Good Luck!SteveGAmazon Coupons

Was at meijer this evening and noticed the GM unloading a flatbed filled with iPads so I asked what was going on and he mentioned that meijer was having a sale on the iPads and that they were $70 off list price. Strangely enough, Meijers is NOT advertising this!! I looked on the meijer web site and couldn't find the iPad listed at all, however I did find the deal mentioned at another deal site by using google, so I guess it's companywide and not localized to Cincinnati, however until I have other people confirm it, this is strictly YMMV. I looked at the mperks (meijer coupon site) and couldn't find any additional savings, so looks like $70 is the best I can do.The best I've seen recently is the $50 discount that MicroCenter and others had on the iPad. So this beats those deals by $20. The only other deals that come close are either refurbs or previous generation iPads.Hope this helps someone!Meijer Coupons
The president and board of my HOA is ripping the place off big time. Our dues went up 12% this year and have gone up every year for the last 4 years. There is way more contracting work than necessary. Pool people are here 3 times a week. They throw away perfectly good furniture and replace it for no reason.Its a never ending thing with these people.Most of the residents are elderly and don't want to feel like they are being a bother. They vote because they like the guys and to go with the flow.The problem is that all five board members are friends and masons. The president is some sort of arch mason. Some of the contractors have mason logos on rings and bumper stickers. The president has even introduced bidders as being friends from the lodge. When they replaced the furniture in the rec room, the furniture salesmen asked the board in an open meeting what they would do with the old stuff. They said they didn't need it and then agreed when the salesman asked if he could take it back to the lodge as a donation.It is obvious that them and their mason buddies are working together to rip the homeowners off.The membership doesn't care but this has to be illegal, right? I don't know that I can prove quid pro quo without being in on whatever is said at their mason meetings. What I can prove is the costs are out of control and the number of mason contractors is more than coincidence.I can't afford to hire an attorney to sue them and there is no way I can win in an election. One honest guy on the board could not stop the other 4 anyway.Only one other home owner even cares. He told me this is what masons do and that he will put his house on the market as soon as he doesn't owe more than it is worth. He suggested I move as well. I also owe more than my home is worth.
Looking for the wide world of Fat wallet oppinion here.have a new job offer coming this week from a company in a different industry than i work currently. The offer should be roughly 25k more base salary than i get now. Also the bonus is 35% instead of 10% so there is significant financial impact going to the new company. In addition they offer stock options allowing for the full bonus amount to be used to purchase stock at 15% below the lower of either january 1 price or the december 30 price and the stock can be sold after 1 day of ownership.I dont have the offer yet but this is roughly what im expecting to see based on the discussions so far.Currently I have a base in the 60s and 6 weeks vacation. Promoted last year and well liked within the company. Im good at my job and i enjoy it, its low stress and i have the best boss ive ever had. I learn a ton from him and am good friends with him outside of work. Long story short im in a consulting arrangement where the contract has to be renewed with the host company roughly every 3 years or my position gets converted to full travel or moved to a client that is as close as possible. The contract was ending december 31 and around october nothing had been resigned, I got nervous and began looking. I didnt look terribly aggresively but looked at a few companies i wanted to work for. In doing so my resume was found by a recruiter. He didnt have anything back then but called me in december to see if i was interestd in a position thats about a 50 minute drive from my house, my current is about 25 minutes. At that point no contract had been resigned so i said yes. On December 20th or so the contract resigned. Then in early january o interviewed with the recruiters company, hit it off in the first interview and they invited me back to the 2nd interview, i beat out 4 other people and have been selected. the official offer will be here this week.The new position is in a new industry but utilizes alot of the skills i currently have. Im having a rough time with this because Money is not in short supply for me currently. In short some of my other endeavors and investments are paying off quite well right now. I see myself continuing in my other investments and in roughly 5 years dropping the 8-5 altogether. The new position may allow me to do that in 3 or 4 years instead. 4 years ago this would have been a no brainer as i was struggling with cash and needed to make more badly. Today i value my 6 weeks vacation highly and realize im not likey to get it at the new company. I also value that i like the people i work with and im good at the job. I have a relatively simple work life. Promotion opportunities are available at the current company but its likely that the pay will be +10-15% with each promotion Making it relatively difficult to get to the base offered. In addition since i was just promoted im likely 2 years away from another. Pay raises at the current company have been 1-3% for the last couple years and its likely to stay the same. Pros
New company pays roughly 55 to 75% more money based on how the bonus shaakes out, past performance has been greater than 100% payout for several years
New company has good stock option program
Gain new skills
no more worrying about resignature every 1-3 yearsCons
Lose guaranteed awesome boss
lose likely at least 3 weeks vacation
Double the drive to work
have to bust my horn for at least first year to prove myself (already proven at current job)
longer hours likely
new industry with unknown challengesSo the question is how do i handle this?Do i negotiate for as much as i can at the new job and just say screw it and go get paid?orApproach current bosses boss and explain the situation, (current boss isnt able to get me more cash, hes getting low balled too.) Explain that i wasnt looking because i was dissatisfied but rather concerned with the stability at the time. I cant ignore the offer now because the cash is so attractive. My boss knows im not a fan of the stress the resignatrure brings and after the new deal was signed he has pushed to get me a new position split on 2 parts of the account so i can constantly be under contract. Looks like this is 6-12 months out and no guarantee at this point anyway. Or do i just continue typing this impossibly long post until my computer battery dies?
Please dont quote this post as im going to delete some of the info in a few days
I like to gamble. May it be going to Vegas, the local casino (owned and run by the government, online Poker or sportsbetting). The question here concerns online sportsbetting. My method of deposit with my sportsbook was MasterCard. The procedure was to deposit money into checking account, then transfer it to MasterCard as a payment and use the MasterCard to deposit money in online sportsbook. That way, the funds are available instantly.The bank that issued the MasterCard called me up for interrogations as if I was a criminal. After winning big last year, naturally I started losing some money back. I had about $60-70K that was deposited into the checking account with that bank in ckunks of $500-3000 over several months, which were immediately transferred to my MasterCard in order for me to be able to deposit into the sportsbook. MasterCard's user agreement even mentions that online gaming transactions are treated as "cash advances" and will incur a fee of $2.50. So not only MC allows these type of transactions, they make money off of it. The bank however says that I can keep my MC but I will have to close my checking account because they does not "like" these type of in-and-out accounts. I told them everything, the entire truth. Everything that I did was 100% legit and legal, yet they still accuse me of possible money laundering, undeclared revenue and all kinds of other non-sense. Online gambling is legal in Canada. What do the banks want? They can't obligate me to use my debit card for "everyday purchases" if I prefer to use cash. I do not trust the banks enough to leave my bankroll in it. They cheat you, change user agreements left and right, tag you with hidden fees, play with words to suck every last penny they can, breach contracts at their discretion and even go around the law. They ask me stupid question like what is the source of the funds and can I prove it? WTF? This is CANADA and the bank is not the police to tell me what I can and cannot do with MY own money. And even though I was able to prove the source of funds, they did not want to hear about it. Their department in concern decided not even to look at my proofs of source of funds a to close my account based on subjective judgement.They had given me 30 days to close my account and I called the mediation department they told me to contact in case I wanted to contest the decision, I told them that I only used my checking account to make payments into my MasterCard and the MC, I use it for everything (hotel reservation, airlines, gas and of course, online gambling). Again, online gambling is not only legal but is mentioned in MasterCard's user agreement as something that they will PRETEND is a cash advance so that they can take $2.50 a pop. That would be a disaster for me if I cannot gamble using my MasterCard anmore. It's the only way that can allow you to get a bank wire withdrawal. Most banks VISA already don't allow online gaming transactions. I will still have my MC but I won't be able to deposit into my checking account from the outside and transfer to my MC for the funds to be available instantly. I will now have to pay off my MC directly and wait 48 for payment to clear. It is a very big deal to get kicked out of a major bank in Canada for not doing any wrong. Do I have any moved left?P.S.: I understand that not everyone will see online gambling the same way. It may not be "noble" for some people. However, it is 100% legal under Canadian laws as well as the MasterCard user agreement.
With all the talk about how much people are paying in taxes, I'm curious to see what effective tax rate everyone falls into.(Federal Only)I just finished my 2011 taxes and ended up at 5.4% (my gross income would put me into the 25% bracket). No fancy deductions just mortgage, 2 kids, and charity/tithe the main ones. I feel thats pretty good (though not as good as my 08 return where I made more money but had a 0% rate due to an adoption

As quite a few old threads in this forum show, people without any subjectivity in their tax situations (W2'd individuals and others who simply report information shown in tax statements that they receive from third parties) are unquestionably better off with simple tax software vs. a CPA, as the latter just costs more and cannot offer any value. Putting those people aside, have any of you with more complex tax returns come across any tax software issues that a CPA would be better equipped to handle? I am not necessarily asking about issues that require highly subjective calls, that a CPA would obviously be in the best position to make. Instead, I am wondering about situations that tax software has not handled well/made mistakes/provided poor or even incorrect guidance.

I thought I would try this topic to see how it goes over in FWF Finance. First, this isn't a political discussion about arbitration - it isn't the place for it so please lets not go there. This is about arbitration in the workplace for those of you that are either under some sort of collective bargaining agreement, considering a job that involves one, or just have questions about it. You might be asking the following:- Why post this in FWF finance?
Because for quite a few people (although a shrinking number of people overall, I know) arbitrators have tremendous power over your pay, can overturn your employers decision to discharge you (or sustain it), determine your benefits, etc. Its as much of a finance topic as any employment related thread it.- Why are you qualified to talk about it?
For the past 4 years I've worked for an arbitrator part time that does public and private sector labor arbitration. Over the course of that time I have done everything but sit in the arbitrator's chair during the hearing. I have written around two dozen binding decisions(involving companies like Norfolk Southern, the Social Security Administration, various regional hospitals, etc.) - the position is sort of like a law clerk in that the judge sits on the bench but we all know the law clerks do much of the writing and generally know the inner-workings of the system.- And your legal credentials are?
Absolutely zero! I am not a lawyer, I make no claims to having anything but practical experience with this and about a semester's worth of law school classes that I took as electives in graduate school. Most of the arbitrators I've met are not lawyers - most of them do have a few masters degrees or a PhD though - subject doesn't seem to matter though. The arbitrator I work for has a PhD in political science. Most clients actually seem to prefer a non-lawyer arbitrator.I should note this does not cover consumer arbitration (I've never been a part to cases involving credit card arbitration or anything like that) - just workplace arbitration. We may not have enough people who care about this, in which I'll just let the thread die. Again, please, as a reminder: this is supposed to be a functional decision about arbitration and how it can effect your employment - how to handle it and that sort of thing. Please don't put your personal politics in here.

My friend, against advice to the contrary, moved into a two bedroom apartment in western PA with a friend. Long story short, her roommate is off his rocker. He's thrown things and been awfully aggressive. She feels threatened and has to structure her time away from her place in order to avoid him as much as possible.Her lease has 11 months to go. Aside from moving out and continuing to pay her part of the rent until the end of the lease (a last resort, albeit financially unwise), what options does she have? They're both on the lease, "assignment" (transferring the lease to someone else) is against the lease agreement, and so is subletting. Should the lease be violated, the agreement calls for payment of the rent due until the lease expires or until a new tenant takes over. Not sure how this would play out if the roommate doesn't move out right away.I suggested that she speak with the property owners and ask for one of the following:
1) To be removed from the lease, leaving the full payment to the existing roommate to decide what to do with (which I figure is unlikely/not legally feasible?)
2) Ask them to give them both an opportunity to exit the lease early after which she can approach the roommate with the idea
3) Ask for them to allow assignment, so that she can find someone else to take her spot
4) Negotiate paying a few months of rent in exchange for being released from the remaining months of the lease.Are there any other options? Thanks in advance.This is the most useful info a search brought up, but I thought I'd ask some of the more seasoned people here. Especially since some landlords can offer their perspective:
Google Search said: Here is what I have done in the past, in my personal experiences as a renter. YMMV:

Step 1: Verify there is actually a lease and your friend's name is actually on the lease.

Step 2: Read the lease. Standard leases should specify how early termination works. I have personally seen leases that (a) keep your deposit only, (b) require one or two months rent to break the lease, (c) require you to keep paying rent until a new lessee can be found or the original term of the lease is up, whichever comes first.

Step 3: Look up the Landlord-Tenant laws for your state/county. Your jurisdiction may have rules for how early termination works. Ensure the lease is compliant with those laws, and if not, you can use this in step 4.

Step 4: Talk with the landlord. Once you make it crystal clear you're leaving and its going to happen no matter what, even if the lease requires option (c) above, they will generally negotiate since it's better to get some money than no money. They will threaten debt collection, but will generally only do that as a last resort. Landlords like to get paid. So go negotiate and find out exactly how much it will cost to get him to agree to let her off the lease. Wheel and deal; use anything you can (e.g. are there code violations you might point out?).

Keep in mind most leases require 30days prior written notice you plan to move out. You don't have to give notice on the 1st of the month. If this is going to happen, give notice as soon as you can (step 4 is a good time). Make sure you give them written notice and keep a copy. Include the move-out date and a forwarding address.

You think I'm a hardcore gold/silver bug? Well wait 'til you get a load of this guy. Yep, the little people, one by one are figuring out how to use this stuff as money. They're even doing it in Zimbabwe. Here's a real life scenario.
I landed a dream job and have been working there for 3 months. I'm very much new to the industry and role so I made some mistakes early on. The mistakes weren't anything terrible, I think it had more to do with not knowing answers to some questions as my manager likes to test people and he's one of the more difficult people to work with at the firm from what I hear. I think some bad mouthing got spread around by him behind closed doors to others and I feel neglected/ignored at work by him and others (this is my first time this happened to me btw). I tried to make it better but it seems hard to dig myself out of the hole and change the impression. Now I'm confused about what to do with my life. I thought this was the industry of my dreams and it still is but I'm doubting myself now. I am learning quite a lot (on my own) even though no one seems to want to teach me or get me involved and the pay is good. How can I even prove myself if no one gives me the time of day? Do I stick it out, keep my head down, try to learn what I can, or start my job search again after only 3 months?
The fit is obviously an issue right now and there's a feeling of constant paranoia at my job.

Hey guys,I'm over 50 and taking advantage of the additional catch up allowance for 401K's at work. I'm putting in about 21K/year now and getting the traditional 50% match on first 6K.I was out and about listening to a local talk radio station on Saturday, and the finance guy (who paid for the time on the show, btw) was touting that people should only fund their 401ks with the minimum necessary to get the full company match. That would be 6K, in my case. He says the rest of your retirement investing should then be in a Roth IRA and then self-directed tax-free instruments. He mentioned certain "insurance"-type vehicles to get there, but I'm not sure if he meant annuities or whatever. (Note: I'm also fully-funding a Roth IRA each year).Aside from the fact that there's the obvious discipline factor at work here, where you'd have more take home pay each week and need to be good about reallocating it to investments, what do you guys think of his strategy? Sorry that I can't be more clear about exactly what instruments he's referring to. He wants to make money on advising clients and who knows -- might get some commission cut out of stuff he gets people to buy, I don't know. But his main case is that 401k's are tax-deferred, and that's going to cost you at distribution time. My thought is that my tax rate should be lower when I retire and not higher, hence the better play is to keep financing 401K to the max now tax-deferred. Of course, it goes without saying that self-directed investments have almost infinite choices and 401K vehicles have whatever the plan offers in the way of mutual funds/bonds.Here's the dude's bio who's touting the fund-to-the-match-only policy: http://www.wor710.com/pages/11587639.php

There was some discussion in another thread About this , but this is an important enough subject to warrant it's own thread. Many people are getting nowhere with their lenders when asking for a loan mod, and principal reductions are still very uncommon. There is a way to force lenders to Reduce principal on underwAter homes, or even Remove junior liens such as helocs entirely. It requires filing for chapter 13 bankruptcy , so this isn't a strategy for everyone , but for those who feel they need this option they should be aware of it, as it is not widely known or publicizedIf your first mortgage is greater than your homes current market value , a bk 13 can work to force principal reduction (lien stripping) by removing junior liens and paying them off with your other unsecured debts http://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/rid-second-mortgage-chapter-13-bankruptcy.htmlFor investment and rental properties, Even first mortgages can be reduced to current market value via cramdownhttp://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/mortgage-cramdowns-chapter-13-bankruptcy.htmlPlease use these links , and speak to a qualified attorney in your area if you think this is right for you. I will not be able to answer any specific questions related to your situation and am not your attorney or providing any legal advice. These general topics are presented for the financial education of fwf readers and you should not take any action without first speaking to your own attorney .
We currently have two children under the age of two, and my wife is a stay-at-home mom. She is going to school for a business degree, but online, and does most of the work in the evenings and during weekends while I'm home.She's mentioned several times that she's considering advertising to babysit, to earn some extra money. This would let us get some credit card debt paid off much sooner, and pay down other debt, such as student loans.We live in ohio, and a quick google search turns this up -
http://jfs.ohio.gov/cdc/page2.stmLooks like as long as we only took in one additional kid under two, and no more than 4 all together, we wouldn't require any licensing or anything unless she wanted to take government money, for people that get assistance paying for childcare. I'm not sure what the license requirements are, but I'm sure it wouldn't be too difficult or something our home or my wife wouldn't pass.
I have suggested to her that we pay the $125 for her to get an LLC and get a business checking account, as a means to reduce liability.
Then, purchase an umbrella insurance policy, in case a kid breaks a leg and she gets sued. This would also let us do things like get business accounts with things like Costco or Sams club, and she could write off a lot of expenses, such as any mileage she puts on her car for the business.Are there any other suggestions on things to look into, or look out for?

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: Powerful Lessons in Personal Change was a groundbreaker when it was first published in 1990, and it continues to be a business bestseller with more than 15 million copies sold. Stephen Covey, an internationally respected leadership authority, realizes that true success encompasses a balance of personal and professional effectiveness, so this book is a manual for performing better in both arenas. His anecdotes are as frequently from family situations as from business challenges. Before you can adopt the seven habits, you'll need to accomplish what Covey calls a "paradigm shift"--a change in perception and interpretation of how the world works. Covey takes you through this change, which affects how you perceive and act regarding productivity, time management, positive thinking, developing your "proactive muscles" (acting with initiative rather than reacting), and much more. This isn't a quick-tips-start-tomorrow kind of book. The concepts are sometimes intricate, and you'll want to study this book, not skim it. When you finish, you'll probably have Post-it notes or hand-written annotations in every chapter, and you'll feel like you've taken a powerful seminar by Covey. --Joan Price
There doesnt seem to be a thread strictly dedicated to credit cards with frequent flyer mile bonuses, and I thought it would be nice to have a one stop shopping experience for Frequent Flyer Mile (Not) Arbitrage. I just completed a FFM AOR, but had to search tirelessly through different threads and Google searches to find some of the better deals. I literally did hundreds of searches and cruised through countless threads for an entire day at work.This thread is for people who want the following:
- Bonus Miles of 25k or greater
- Maximum spend requirement of $3k within three months (ideally after first purchase)
- First year annual fee waived, or maximum of $100 for first yearThe following are nice, but since these are often not our primary cards, and we will probably cancel the card before the first annual fee, they dont matter a great deal to us:
- Low purchase APR
- No foreign exchange fees
- Points per $1 spentIdeally, this will be a self-sustaining topic: the Member Summary gets updated by FatWallet Members as deals come and go. With that in mind, lets try to limit the Member Summary to cards with the above wants.Ive got the list started with the best of the best I was able to scrounge up. Today I applied for United MileagePlus Explorer (app being reviewed), Southwest Rapid Rewards Premier (app being reviewed), and the Citi ThankYou Premier Card (instant approval). I basically applied for 150k bonus miles, with only a $99 annual fee on SW, and total spend minimum of $2,500 within 3 months. With a credit score of over 800, I dont ever recall not getting instant approval, so while this hurt, I am still hopeful and will keep you updated. Last year my 3 card FFMA AOR successfully yielded me 130k miles with no annual fees, and $2,500 spend within 4 months.In summary, this thread is for people who just love to travel and want serious bonus miles! So to continue our glorious free trips, I need you FatWallet members to help me, help you.Master List that I will update:Citi ThankYou Premier Card:
50,000 bonus ThankYou Points after you make $2,500 in purchases within the first 3 months.
Annual Fee: $125, waived for the first year.United MileagePlus Explorer (Chase):
50,000 bonus miles after your first purchase.
Annual Fee: $95, waived for the first year.
Important: to see the offer, you need to make sure that you first login to your United Mileage Plus account, and that you have miles in the account (any minimal amount is OK). Then, the homepage at United should show that 60k offer. Without these steps, you will only be seeing a 40k offer.Southwest Airlines Rapid Rewards Premier Card (Chase):
50,000 bonus points after your first purchase - that's over $800 in Wanna Get Away Fares that can be redeemed for 2 free roundtrip flights.
Annual Fee: $99.Chase Sapphire Preferred:
50,000 bonus points after you make $3,000 in purchases within the first 3 months.
Annual Fee: $95, waived for the first year.Gold Delta SkyMiles (Amex):
30,000 bonus miles after you make $500 in purchases within the first 3 months.
Annual Fee: $95, waived for the first year.Citi Platinum Select AAdvantage Visa Signature:

There doesnt seem to be a thread strictly dedicated to credit cards with frequent flyer mile bonuses, and I thought it would be nice to have a one stop shopping experience for Frequent Flyer Mile Arbitrage. I just completed a FFMA AOR, but had to search tirelessly through different threads and Google searches to find some of the better deals. I literally did hundreds of searches, and cruised through countless threads for an entire day at work.This thread is for people who want the following:
- Bonus Miles of 25k or greater
- Maximum spend requirement of $3k within three months (ideally after first purchase)
- First year annual fee waived, or maximum of $100 for first yearThe following are nice, but since these are often not our primary cards, and we will probably cancel the card before the first annual fee, they dont matter a great deal to us:
- Low purchase APR
- No foreign exchange fees
- Points per 1$ spentIdeally, this will be a self-sustaining topic: the Member Summary gets updated by FatWallet Members as deals come and go. With that in mind, lets try to limit the Member Summary to cards with the above wants.Ive got the list started with the best of the best I was able to scrounge up. Today I applied for United MileagePlus Explorer (app being reviewed), Southwest Rapid Rewards Premier (app being reviewed), and the Citi ThankYou Premier Card (instant approval). I basically applied for 150k bonus miles, with only a $99 annual fee on SW, and total spend minimum of $2,500 within 3 months. With a credit score of over 800, I dont ever recall not getting instant approval, so while this hurt, I am still hopeful and will keep you updated. Last year my 3 card FFMA AOR successfully yielded me 130k miles with no annual fees, and $2,500 spend within 4 months.In summary, this thread is for people who just love to travel and want serious bonus miles! So to continue our glorious free trips, I need you FatWallet members to help me, help you.

Together with out friends we are travelling to Paris, France in April of 2012. We've heard that the cheapest way to stay there is to rent an apartment. We are two families with nine people, four adults and five children.Where do people here look for apartments in Paris? We would like to stay as close to the downtown as possible for reasonable price.
Assumptions:
1. we are not a country prepared to let people die on the steps of hospitals for lack of funds for treatment;
2. the government pays for approximately 60% of all health care expenditures already, and that is steadily increasing;
3. we have some of the most technologically advanced health care in the world and we want to preserve that, including research;
4. we have some of the highest costs in the world, and that is not sustainable;
5. health care delivery is overly complex;
6. many of our dissatisfactions with health care are due to poor health outcomes associated with poor lifestyle decisions;
7. others stem from our country's complex and heterogenous population;
8. health care costs are the elephant in the room with regards to both our debt and deficit, and solving health care will again make the US one of the best places in the world to do business;
9. a mentally and physically healthy population is a national security issue, because a bunch of obese, diabetic, drug addicts make poor soldiers.
10. health care insurance, as it were, can only work when healthy people participate in the pool.OK, here we go.1. phase out medicare and Medicaid over 30 years.2. eliminate the Medicare payroll and investment taxes.3. rather than mandating insurance, the government provides, for free, basic health insurance to every US citizen.4. basic health insurance is basic. generic meds only. no fancy-schmancy stuff. prenatal visits and annual physicals and stuff that makes sense and is proven to work is covered. everything else is not. simvastatin is covered; Crestor is not. citalopram is covered; Lexapro is not. You get the idea. A multi-year, transparent process to develop the covered procedure/medication list will be required (but see below)5. the federal government offers 'take it or leave it' pricing to providers. Providers are not required to accept this insurance, but will be incentivized due to volume. Providers will know, in advance, what is covered, and what is not. They may cover additional services as they see fit, but they will not be reimbursed by the feds. Patients might have their own private insurance (see below). The insurance will offer higher pricing to critical access providers to increase likelihood of acceptance, ie, underserved communities.6. in addition to this basic insurance, a national marketplace for 'add-on' insurance will be created. This marketplace will operate completely in the free market. It will be purchased by individuals, or by corporations for their employees. This would be like 'medigap' insurance. The only requirements for these plans is 1. the costs and benefits of each plan must be clearly spelled out and 2. once an individual has been approved for and purchased into a plan, that individual can NEVER be droopped from the plan or have their premium increased by more than the average rate of premium increase for all plans, SO LONG as they make their monthly premium payment and remain an active member of the plan. Other than that, prices are set by the insurers without restriction. No more taking money from the healthy, then dumping patients when they get sick.7. the tax deduction for employer-sponsored health care will be eliminated.8. if you are not a US citizen, you are not eligible for the free federal coverage. You may purchase insurance in the national marketplace described above.9. malpractice reform is necessary to protect providers from not providing uncovered care. In other words, providers must be protected from witholding uncompensated care; they cannot be forced to work for free. They may choose to, out of charity or compassion, but they cannot be forced to.10. a cash bonus is given for lifestyle changes with proven cost reduction outcomes. We pay people to quit smoking. We pay people to lose weight and keep it off. We pay people to stay clean off opiates. It is cheaper in the long run than having these folks show up years later with COPD, diabetes, neuropathy, nephropathy, and cardiovascular disease. It's time to be honest about preventative medicine and that means incentizing behavior change.11. by eventually winnowing down employer-based health care, employees are freer to leave work. This means the young old can retire without fear of going naked. This frees up jobs for younger employees. It improves the environment for entrepreneurship, allowing employees to take risks on business ventures without fear of losing insurance or becoming uninsurable.12. how to pay for it. A national sales tax (of whatever is required - say 10%) - on every retail purchase except for food, gas, and medicine. This tax must be dedicated solely to the federal insurance program, with the exception that 10% of the fees collected are dedicated to non-profit research. It must fully pay for the program costs each year; it cannot run a deficit. It can be adjusted up or down by the will of Congress, ostensibly representing the will of the people, as the people demand more or less health care, or more or less taxes. For instance, if the people are not satisfied with the level of coverage provided by the insurance plan, they may persuade Congress to increase the tax to 12%. If they feel their taxes are too high, they may persuade Congress to lower the tax to 8% - and receive fewer services in the insurance plan. This funding mechanism has several advantages over our current system. First, it is dedicated. Second, it is transparent: there is a direct link between level of taxation and level of service. Third, it is shared by everyone including the healthy but moderately progressive in that it excludes food, gas, and medicine and the wealthy spend more money than the poor.13. charity care by providers and social service agencies will attempt to fill the gaps between the basic federal plan the private plans... just like we do now.14. we publicly acknowledge that we cannot afford unlimited health care for every patient.This system does away with complex formulas governing eligibility, reimbursement, and cost-sharing for programs like Medicaid and Medicare. It replaces that with a single, shared, but very basic health care plan which will use the power of the federal government to negotiate lower prices, over time, with providers. It has dedicated, sustainable, and transparent funding for health care, and the level of service (and taxation) can be clearly adjusted by the people as they see fit. It automatically increases the pool of participants to make health insurance actual insurance. It gets rid of all the risks around preexisting conditions, uninsurable patients, and insurers dropping ill patients. It will result in lower prices across the board as providers compete with each other for the largest chunk of business, and with each other for cash-paying customers and national insurers. It provides a basic level of humane health care without promising 'the world' to everyone. It removes some of the inequitability of the employer-health care tax deduction. It offers a true, free-market insurance solution available to everyone. It provides for continued research to support technological advances. It recognizes the need for individual responsibility in managing lifestyle diseases and incentivizes change in a cost-effective way which benefits our health and our national security. It supports the formation of small businesses and it provides 'through-put' for the labor force to increase employment for younger workers. It will be cheaper and by definition will be non-deficit-generating.I think that's it for now.OK... hit me. what's wrong with this plan?

I like BOA. In fact I use them for lots of Balance Transfers, but I recently had this experience with them and thought I would offer it up as a cautionary tale to BT neophytes and veterans alike:I had two Transfers on the same account. One due in March (~15,000 @ 1.99%) and one due in November (~5,000 @ 0.0%). Since I'm about to pay off my March balance, I decided to do a test in January to see how they would apply the payments. The new law as well as the terms of my agreement state that any payment in excess of the minimum will be applied to the balance with the highest interest rate first. I made a $5000 payment expecting to see the new balance of the higher rate be just above 10K (the minimum payment was about 250). Instead what I saw was new balance about $12,500. It looks like what they did was split the excess payment in half and applied it evenly to both balances. I called and resolved the issue, but when I asked how this could happen and sited the new law, he just said, they probably haven't updated the software yet to apply the payments correctly. I'm paranoid about that kind of stuff, so I anticipated that there would be a snag. I could see how someone could get caught paying tons of unneeded interest if they weren't careful or at the very least having to clean up a mess once the interest posted. Again, I like BOA and I am not sure if this was an honest mistake or if they are trying to catch people off guard, but in any event I thought I'd share and say, "Be Diligent!"
My husband and I plan to buy a house soon, probably in the $500-$600K range. I'm considering getting a real estate license to save on commission and allow me to view properties without making arrangements with another agent to show the houses. If I became an agent I would have to work with a broker, since I'm not yet eligible for a broker's license. I don't want to represent other people in buying/selling houses, but we might buy 5-10 houses for ourselves investments in the next few years. Right now, investments in rentals look pretty good in the area I'm considering. They should break even or be cash flow positive after taking into account reasonable vacancy and expenses. I'm not 100% sure I want to be a landlord, though.What is a typical percentage that a newbie agent shares with their broker?
Other than the initial coursework and licensing fees, what other expenses does an agent have?
Would a broker even allow someone to work with them who was not actively recruiting clients and buying or selling lots of houses?Right now, I can find an agent who will rebate 15% of the buyer's agent commission (so $2250 on a $500K house). I haven't found anyone who will rebate a higher percentage. I'm trying to figure out if it would be worth it for either scenario -- if I'm just buying a house for our family, or if I buy our house + a few houses for investments. Also, when you are investing in houses, do sellers view offers from agents differently from a normal buyer? Are they more likely to view it as an offer from an investor and be less willing to negotiate, for example?
Here is a great power supply by Cooler Master for those of you building a high end system. 850W, 80 Plus Gold, and fully modular at this price is pretty good. This model also has the world's first PSU integrated 7V fan port, an Auto Fanless mode under 200W loading, and a 5.25" drive bay fan controller for both the PSU and five system fans.

This is the cheapest price I have seen on this particular model which had only been out for a couple of months now.product link$30 rebate linkShipping is $4.99 but I am assuming many of us have free Shoprunner from the holidays so it will be free 2 day for many people.Amazon.com has it for ~$186 here
Many prescription plans offer you the choice between getting your prescription drugs order from a mail order pharmacy (90 day fill) versus a Retail Pharmacy (30 days or sometimes 90 days).On the surface, it appears to many people that "mailorder" is the way to go, many times it is, however, many times it is not!Many mail order pharmacies have a "minimum" $ amount assigned to fill any given prescription. For instance, if you take generic Synthroid or generics for Naproxen (high dose), etc a 90 day prescription might cost you $15-50 depending on your mail order company and insurance plan.However, many medications that are generic, may actually be lots cheaper using the "retail" route. Say a $5 co pay for 30 days (or $15 for 90, versus more than $15 on the mail order). Additionally, some retail phcy's acutally have deals on 90 day fills like WalMart and Target, sometimes as low as $8-12 for 90 days for a generic.On brand name medications: there are many drug company sponsored programs which may actually give you a $0 copay per 30 days if you use one of their savings coupons. If this program is ongoing, you can get 90 days of supply (3 seperate RX's at 30 day fills each month) for $0 co pay vs the $50-75 you might be paying via mail order. As mail order DOES NOT accept these coupons typically, you are definitely saving more via Retail.use this website, which is an amazing resource of drug company offers FOR BRAND NAME drugs (asthma, blood pressure, diabetes, kids meds, sleep aids, etc...every disease known to man!)www.internetdrugcoupons.com to search for possible offers on the drugs you are already taking. If the offer lowers your co-pay to $0-20 per month, it might be a better deal to go the retail route for these medications than mail order. Typically, you'll need to sign up and print out the savings coupon (sometimes you have to register the offer over the phone as well, so read the fine print carefully. Some states may be prohibited as are most gov't funded RX programs)The downside--yes, you have to "schlep" to the store every month to pick up your prescriptions, but if you're a deal hunter already, you're probably going to Rite Aid or CVS or Walgreens, etc at least once per month anyway. Also, at Rite Aid, you get 25 wellness points for EACH RX filled w/well ness card. So if you have just two medications per month filled there, you'd earn 600 wellness points in 12 months.
At CVS, you earn .50 ECB for each RX filled with your card. These earnings print out quarterly.
The deal even includes insurance in case of bad weather which is nice.
This is a smoking deal. I've been here and can vouch for the top shelf service and liquor!
Yes, top shelf liquor is included as well as some of the best food I've ever had.
The food is awesome and the grounds are stunning.
Worth the $ IMHO

I bought these a couple of times and it has worked for me so thought i'd share this. I got them for a little bit more when they were on sale. Just got this coupon by email:1) Go to [url]http://www.dentalogica.com/products/fierce-white-3-day-whitening...[/url]
2) Add the whitening kit to your cart and use coupon "Smile85"
3) the Numbers = $99 - 85% coupon = $14.85
4) shipping is free and a free lip balmCoupon is good for anything -- if you want to try the other stuff. I've tried the travel retouch and liked those. I gave the lip balm to my gf bc she liked the flavor (I use unscented unflavored when I need it). Can't comment on the others.Based on the reviews I've read online, people really love it or hate it. I like Dentalogica because it doesnt irritate the hell out of my teeth like all the other strips (like white strips and the expensive gosmile). I stopped trying to whiten for a while because of thatGoogle Shopping has it ranging from $62-90

This post is a heads-up for those who have received (or will receive) The National Household Education Survey through the mail.Do Not Throw Out Before Opening...There is a brand new crisp $5.00 bill included in the survey envelope.survey info:The Department of Education wants to understand the condition of education in the United States. This survey is the only way that the Department of Education can learn about schooling and child care arrangements from your perspective.How was your household chosen? Your address was randomly selected from among all of the home addresses in the nation. It was selected using scientific sampling methods to represent other households in the U.S. The sample is designed so that interviews with only a few thousand people will accurately describe the educational experiences of almost all Americans. Some households will be selected to receive a second survey that asks more specific questions about the educational experience of children in the house.Can I complete the survey on the web?No web option is available for this survey. Please complete the form that was mailed to your address. If you have misplaced your form, call the U.S. Census Bureau toll-free at 1-888-840-8353 to request a replacement survey.More information can be found at nces.ed.gov/nhes.
The 1099-K a new form created by the IRS for people who sell on Amazon or eBay and amass $20,000 in sales. (More specifics in link)
It's linked to Amazon Payments and Paypal specifically. but I suspect Square and others will participate.http://cashmoneylife.com/1099-k-form-reporting-requirements/Edit : Must be 20k AND 200+ transactions. So if you sell 1 thing for 20k don't expect a 1099-k
Is there any tax advantage or any other advantages if you do a lot of trading (stocks and options) individually vs doing it as a company (LLC)? It will still be a one person company and it won't be using other people's money..just my own.When you open an account at a broker they ask you whether its individual, joint or corporate and I was wondering if there was an advantage to just registering a LLC and then trading on the company account?

Grabbed this unique drawer during the holidays for 60$ on Amazon.
they went fast and couldnt find it since.Im kind of a Keurig addict like some people are with wine so to me this was a deal.
Amazon now has it listed for 39.98 bought one more for my office since I'm not sure how many the vendor actually has listed.its unique and one of a kind, not sure how much its worth but I couldn't find it in any retail store. Its actually a well made product so I paid a little extra for the nice design.

Let me preface this by saying I think undergraduate college is a huge bubble in this country, and I think students and parents are getting scammed for huge sums of money. Here is my personal story and why I am posting right now. I am going to be very specific about schools and costs.
My relative has a full ride to University of Connecticut, certainly a good school, but obviously not IVY. She is clearly very smart, full rides are rare. My feeling is that anyone who graduates from a school like UConn, and distinguishes themselves with good grades and impressive activates, can compete with anyone for any job coming from a very good private school. Now here is the rub.My relative decided to go to Boston University, a good private but very expensive school. In my mind, networking opportunities aside, I dont see BU as that different of a school than UConn. The difference is cost, however, is roughly $130,000. To make matters worse she is studying to become a teacher.
I think her parents gave her very bad advice, and I am sure this same scenario is being played out all over the country. She is not getting value for her $130,000. Moreover, this debt will saddle her for a good part of her entire life. She is paying for the experience of Boston, and she is too young to realize how high a price she is paying. At $60,000 a year, I think a fair estimate of what she can expect to average over a 10 year teaching span, that debt and interest can easily represent 40% of her entire take home pay. College costs are crazy, and way too many people are going to college. I think the old liberal arts degree is going to be a thing of the past. I went to the University of Michigan, obviously a great school, but again not IVY. If I wanted to send my kids there from out of state it would cost me over $200,000! They can literally go FCK themselves! God help you if you are middle to upper middle class and want to send your kids to school, be prepared for them to want all your lives savings.
On a side note, since Obama has taken office the amount of school debt, a debt that can never be discharged and will follow you to the grave, had doubled! We are saddling our kids with debt at their most vulnerable point in life. Be prepared to live with your grown up kids well into their 30s if not longer.
Updated - Jan. 22, 2012http://www.cflticketxchange.com/Here is the story:I am going to Orlando from Los Angeles on a vacation with my dad. Long story short, we want to go to DisneyWorld and Universal Studios IoA. I came across this site on craigslist and they sell tickets about 40% off retail which is the average CL seller (except this is a "company" and not a person). They say its not a time share or ticket broker, but they just buy tickets in bulk and can sell it for cheap.Part that worries me:
To buy tickets, you must call them and buy tickets over the phone (no online ordering) and they ONLY accept greendot card which is a prepaid giftcard basically that you buy from your local WalMart/Walgreens etc... Once you pay for it giving your prepaid card number, they email you a confirmation with your tickets that you pick up at will call at the park. So my question is, is this site legit or should I stay away? I tried researching the site for fraud sales or happy customers but I came up empty handed. Is it worth the risk to try it out if I find no feedback? I would be saving about $400 which is a lot for this trip. I don't really trust meeting with people because on CL, there are a lot of fraud reports from other users. Anyone have any suggestions?
EDIT: UPDATE 1-22-12Ok, I am not back in Los Angeles from an amazing trip. This is how I saved money at the parks just in case you wanted the best price tickets....
Pirate Dinner Show
This one I thought I got a bargain by getting $15 off each adult ticket and getting BOGO free drink coupons by going to my hotels ticket booth and sweet talking my way into getting a lower price. I then found UCT had it for $20 off face value but no drink coupons so I call it a wash there. Show was alright, more for children IMO because they grab kids from the audience to help with a lot of the show and go on stage. No amazing stunts or acrobats or even choreography that was good. Food that was included was so so. You don't get to chose, they give you salad/soup, rice chicken and pork. We got to take pictures with the cast though afterwards which was fun.WonderWorks Museum
We got these tickets also from my hotel which was $22 per person plus 10 free tokens plus 1 free glow in the dark maze coupon which saved us about $10 each. Retail is $25 just for entry and about $7 for the maze. This place is a must see for all ages. They have many hands on activities to do and see. Really fun time, and bring a camera here! I couldn't find any better deals but was told AAA office might have it for $15 but we didn't want to drive all the way there on a gamble.Disney World
I bought these tickets by driving to the Kissimmee Florida Hospital and going to their gift shop at 9:30am (they open at 9am). I was told that they receive Disney World 1 day base tickets once in a while and gift them out if you make a $70 donation or greater but they sell FAST. I called at 9am and they said they got a batch in but won't last until 10am so we drove their and arrived by 9:30am. We donated $300 and got 4 tickets. No tax or anything here, could've done it for $280 if I wanted. They give you hard tickets here that state on the tickets they are from the hospital and good for 1 day (NO UPGRADES ALLOWED AT PARK). But we didn't want park hoppers anyways...
Universal
The cheapest way I found these tickets were by going to guest relations and letting them know my dad has trouble walking (he is 65 and had some surgeries) and they gave us a 15% discount on the tickets we bought. They stated that they do this for any handicapped or disability person or group (no proof was required but I don't know if we just got a nice girl or not). 15% off was cheaper than any broker I saw online including undercovertourist (UCT). Now, I am not saying go lie to them and make something up, but if you legitimately have someone with any type of disability, then they should honor it up to 6 people in the group. Inside the park, AAA card came in handy and got us 10% off everything we bought. My mini review coming from Disneyland/Universal in CA... (skip this if you care only about prices and savings)
First, just a little about me so you know where I am coming from. I am a 25 year old male who enjoys rides as well as shows and loves theme park hopping. I will try to be as unbiased as possible. I do enjoy extreme coasters (like Magic and Knotts) as well as detailed, theme rides (Disney or universal). I go to Disneyland about 3-4 times a year, Universal about 3-4 times a year in CA.Animal Kingdom - Much like the LA zoo, its a giant zoo with a few rides. If you are a ride enthusiast, skip this park. The 3 decent rides they had were Everest, Dinosaur and a safari ride.
Everest is EXACTLY like "The Mummy" ride at universal studios, except duller. A very short roller coaster ride that you go forwards on, then backwards for a few drops. This is suppose to be their "big" main ride. Or you can compare it to Matterhorn in Disney, but 1/8th of the track time and a short backwards part. Has the same Yeti snow mountain theme.
Dinosaur was a bit better for me. This is basically Indiana Jones except with a dinosaur theme and shorter as well (all the rides are sooo short!!). You sit in a jeep like Indy and go trying to find a dinosaur while the jeep is taking you on bumps and sharp turns. No spears get thrown at you though and no steep drops under a boulder.
Safari ride is an enjoyable family ride that takes you out on the back side of the park through their little "Africa" while the tour guide points out animals and facts. This is very similar to the tram ride at universal except instead of Hollywood sets, you are looking at animals. My tour guide sucked unfortunately and was driving fast so pictures were hard (we caught up to the tram in front of us while no tram was behind us). And he was not delivering his lines well (which is understandable, its a hit or miss at any park).
I did go on ALL the rides, but I am not gonna waste my time riding about the others.
The shows, on the other hand, were AMAZING. 2 big shows, Finding Nemo the musical and Lion King were both great! The only thing in CA that I can compare these to would be the Aladdin show in California Adventure. Finding Nemo I enjoyed much more, I would have actually PAID to see this, about $40 I would say. Its a full set, full production show about 40 minutes long. I have never seen the movie, but this show was still amazing. Its people holding full size props while singing and controlling them. After a while, you don't even notice the people, but focused on the props! Lion King was also great and funny. They sing all the traditional songs from the movie (which I loved when I was a kid) so it really brought back memories. Lion King is performed in the center of the room so you sit in a circle around it, no bad seat in the house.Animal Kingdom, although was disappointed in the rides, made up with it in the shows.Epcot
I won't go into detail on the rides here because most overlap with Diseyland/CA (soarin, test track, american adventure, captain EO). I skipped all those because I assume they were the same. The new rides were also great and wish they brought some to the west coast. Spaceship Earth and Mission space were both really fun and unique rides. This park is a solid B+ overall. They have a good variety of rides and great photo moments and food from all parts of the world as well as buildings in the little "countries" they created. What I enjoyed most and also found most interesting is the workers! They actually fly over people from their native countries and pay them to live and work there for a year! I had a chat with one of the girls who they brought from Morocco and she said they flew her out to just talk and be there. Each country has workers to make it more real. All the food was great too! I recommend you eat as little as possible to try all the variety of foods they offer from the different parts of the world. The only thing this park lacked was shows which I can't blame them. They fit so much into an already big park which is tough to do in one day.
Universal - Islands of AdventureBy far, the BEST theme park I have EVER been to. I wish they had IoA in CA. Each ride there is so unique and unlike anything else. I don't want to write to much because this isn't my blog and none of you probably care, but the 2 best rides I have ever been on are Spider-Man and Harry Potters Hogwarts castle. I would like to meet the geniuses who designed these rides.
Spiderman is a 3D moving ride that includes not only a 3D movie, but real props as your car moves through the track. I thought it was going to be like Simpsons the ride (stationary 3D ride that just moves the car on a fixed spot). But no, this ride takes you through an entire rollercoaster style ride while involving fire, water, smoke and taking you through an adventure.I thought it couldn't get any better but then I sat on Harry Potter! Oh boy, this is similar to Spiderman but version 2.0! Although no 3D, it takes you flying through the air also involving movie screens in spots as though you are flying in the air while playing quidditch, and then taking you through real props as you fly away from demontors, dragons, the whompping willow! I can not describe the thrill these rides brought when I thought the best thrills I got were from my previous favorite rides (Riddlers Revenge and Goliath at Magic Mountain). But these rides, although not intense roller coasters, brought more joy and more thrill in me than any other ride. I can ride these multiple times (in fact, I did ride each twice). The Hulk was their intense roller coaster, and although not as big or scary as Magic Mountains, did provide that feeling of fear when it shoots you at the start going upwards (which is similar to Superman at MM). Also got to give a shout out to the other rides, Ripsaw Falls (this puts splash mountain to shame!) and Pop Eye and Blutos water ride (this also puts roaring rapids and bigfoot waters to shame!) The rides at universal were just other rides I've been on but on steriods! BRING SPARE CLOTHES OR A PANCHO IF YOU GO ON THE POP EYE RIDE AND TAKE YOUR SHOES AND SOCKS OFF!!!! You will get drenched no matter where you sit.
Anyways, had a blast!
I know most people on FWF avoid Mortgage Insurance, but this may be useful for someone you know ...If you had an FHA-insured mortgage, you may be eligible for a refund from HUD/FHA.Also more Unclaimed Property
1. This deal is at BED BATH AND BEYOND B&M. appears to be nationally, stock availability from store to store WILL vary but prices s/b the same. (see photos attached)2. This deal requires the 20% off one item coupon that are snail mailed to people (or the $5/15 coupon some get also). Most stores allow one 20% off coupon per item (and most take expired) YMMV on store to store policies.3. BBB is clearing out all the Autumn/Holiday themed KCups. These include (but not a full list)18ct Apple Cider, select Hot Cocoa, Gingerbread Coffee, Holiday Roasts/Pumpkin Spice (most green mountain brand, other brands too) at $7.99 (less 20% ac is $6.39 or .355 per)48 ct HOLIDAY VARIETY PACKS are $19.99 less 20% ($15.99 or .333 per kcup)
4. Keep in mind, expirations on these MAY BE SHORT (March or April 2012)
And the hatchet falls again...People of FT report getting tax bills for checking/savings opening bonuses for AA miles valued at ridiculous 2.5 cents per mile.Information in taxes for TYPs is less conclusive so far.As usual no taxes for CC or ongoing banking TYPs.Stay away! Only take cash bonuses! I'm really surprised people get suckered in again and again, I think this is third year in a row.
I am curious, driving daily I see a lot of rear bumpers and very often you can spot a small sticker advertising a dealership where that car evidently was purchased. How do dealerships get away with it? Do they give a discount for advertisement?
Do people simply not care?
Will a dealership remove the sticker per your request?Thanks.
I'm surprised this hasn't been posted yet....There are two toy coupons at http://hasbro.promo.eprize.com/deals/coupon.html; $5 off Hungry Hungry Hippos Game and $8 off Kre-O Transformers Optimus Prime Construction Set. (They should be on the first page).The regular price for the Hungry Hungry Hippos is $4.99 and the price for the Kre-O Transformers is $7.99. IE. they are both free after coupons. (The HHH is the travel edition I believe.)
You can find them at Target or WalMart, if any are left in the store by now.
To get your coupons (2 copies of each), go to the link above. You will have to give them "an" email to register and sign in before printing.
Yes, they are manufacturer coupons printed through Bricks. No, we cannot send you a PDF just because you are lazy or paranoid. (If you've never used it before, yes, it's safe.)
Note- some people have reported having some trouble using these because of cashiers/managers being skeptical (which frankly they should be)...you can try explaining that you printed them directly through the manufacturer's website and that the coupons are unique....also, try printing in good enough quality that they are easily readible

I know Fatwallet generally focuses on "higher end" types of travel. However I found an extremely odd result when "Playing" on Greyhound.com that I feel obligated to share.At some point I may need to fly into Jacksonville airport to vist my Father in Nowhere, Fl (Palatka, FL). Greyhound is rarely/never cheap enough IMO to make it worth the hassle. For comparative purposes I thought I'd see what it would cost to get from Jacksonville to Palatka, Fl. The results were as follows:
Advanced Purchase: $20.25
Web Only: $20.25
Standard Fare: $2.00
Refundable $27.50Am I missing something here? It's only $2 for nearly a two hour trip (A little less if you drove yourself of course). I get the $2.00 fare whether I'm reserving for the very next day or a month away. I tried Jacksonville to Daytona as a test, and received a typical fare. Any Ideas?Is this typical for Greyhound? Is this an error? Perhaps Nowhere, FL wants people to come there? Any other search I perform: the "Standard Rate" is the highest. Making my guess: "Pricing error".Update: I added possible 5% CashBack by paying at 7-Eleven. It's possible 7-Eleven might be strict about the "Cash Payment" rule. But I have a feeling that it is worth a shot.

First post so please be gentle. Just wanted to let people know I just ordered this TV from Newegg -- Free Shipping!!!
While looking for alternatives to the Insignia 37" $350 deal posted by Farside here, I noticed that BBY just started selling a weird 39" size with similar specs. Looks like only 2 HDMI and some other light de-contenting, but for $350 for basically a 40" TV, looks like a nice deal. Same price as the 37" model on sale.I have no idea why they wanted to offer a 39" size, but have a couple theories:1. A 39" will show up in a generic retail website search for TVs 30"-39", where a 40" would roll up into the next bracket. Easy up-sell for people searching for smaller TVs.
2. A 39" will just barely fit inside an old-school entertainment center (which I have), while not a single 40" will. This is a nice alternative to the excellent Insignia 37" for the exact same price.Insignia 39"

The purpose of this discussion thread is to gather info from past foreclosure auction buyers. I have read some reports that shill bidders from the auction company will be present to drive up the prices, and thus increase their commissions. Is this true? Is it legal? Im hoping that people who bought foreclosed or trustee sale homes can share their experience and advice. If they were engaged in shill bidding, it's unlikely they would admit to it.Common sense would seem to dictate that if the realized selling prices were low, the auction company would want to publicize it. If final prices are high, they would not want to publicize it. There was a recent chat, where the AUCTION.COM agent indicated flimsy excuses for not reporting final selling prices for their auctioned properties. She claimed AUCTION.COM was not permitted to report sold prices, at the same time admitting the prices paid were public record.Please wait while we find an agent to assist you...
You have been connected to Vicky.
Vicky: Welcome to our Live Chat service.AUCTION HOME BUYER: where can i find a list of properties you recently sold with the final selling prices?Vicky: The recording of a deed is a matter of public record as well as transfer taxes paid on the total purchase price. We are not permitted to provide such information at the request of our clients. Once the property closes, in about 45 days, you can obtain the information directly from the county recorder's office, multiple listing service, or zillow.com.AUCTION HOME BUYER: do your representatives perform shill bidding?Vicky: we do not have shill biddingAUCTION HOME BUYER: if its a matter of public record, then why would your clients not permit reporting the final auction price? that makes no sense
AUCTION HOME BUYER: its public info, as you stated, not privateVicky: it takes 30-45 days for public records by that time we have move on to other auction events
Vicky: but since the information is public records at that time, you are more then welcome to check with them directlyAUCTION HOME BUYER: id like to comment that the fact that you dont report the final auction prices makes auction.com seem shady. if auction.com is the one collecting the winning bids, obviously it would be simple for them to report final sales. that they choose to hide it is a big red flag. anyway, thanks for your timeVicky: as stated above we do not administrate sale price information for the sellers

I am a long-time fatwallet finance forum fan. I signed up under a new name to ask some personal questions.My fiance and I initially planned to get married. He is a resident of a state that has no state tax and I live in a state where state tax is high (highest bracket 11%). Both are community property states. After talking to his CPA, we realized that if we get married, half of his income will be subject to the 11% state tax. This means his income will be reduced 5.5%. This usually is not a problem. However, his income is expected to increase significantly in the next 5 years so this can add to a big number. Being a true fatwallet girl, I agreed to not marry right away to save on tax. I read through the "Divorce for Fun and Profit" thread and picked some good ideas. Assuming that we are very secure with our relationship, I am listing the pros and cons of staying single:Pros--
1. We save 5.5% of his income for state tax
2. We each have a child from previous relationships and do not plan to have more children. If we stay unmarried, we both can claim head of household.
3. I earn considerably less and can claim child credit
4. I can fund Roth IRA and he can fund traditional IRA.
5. Our credit reports stay separated. We can churn AARP card by paying each other without raising suspicion as a couple.Cons--
1. Social Security. I've worked 10 years and plan to continue working. So this shouldn't affect too much.
2. Health Insurance. We each have our own health insurance from work
3. My work offers an excellent pension plan. If I die, he cannot enjoy the survivor benefit.
4. Estate Tax. If one of us dies, the estate tax can be big? Can this be avoided with a properly set up will and trust?
5. I am not protected by law financially should we break up down the road. For now, I feel secure enough but I am not sure how I will feel a couple of years later.
6. Emotional comfort a marriage provides.He's been generous and supportive to me all our relationship. Since he gives money to me anyways, I am thinking of ways to shift his income to me since I am at a lower tax bracket (slightly lower since I do pay state tax at 6%). He has some rental properties out of my state. One way to do it is for him to put the rental company under a company and hire me as an employee to manage the rental properties. He doesn't have to pay tax for my salary and I will pay tax on it at a lower rate. We do plan to get married eventually so we are eagerly looking for tax sheltering ideas. I know income from rental properties acquired prior to marriage is not subject to state income tax. He owns his own business so there is some flexibility in the way he is paid. I would greatly appreciate if people can bounce ideas on this. Thank you!
I tried to post a question that's close to this one in another forum. Unfortunately people that are replying to it I don't think have the same knowledge as those that read this forum. So I'm going to try to ask the question here.If a person works all his life, or his parents WORK all their life and leave their kid some money, isn't that "ordinary income" that will be taxed at the "income" tax rate during the "working" years?From there the person would have two choices. Spend their money, or save and invest it.Now if they decided to save and invest it, they would pay "capital gains" tax on it, right? And that rate is around 15%.So if this person who invested became a multi-millionaire and most of his/her annual income now came from his/her investments, then they would be paying 15%.So why does everyone get so upset about this? They feel that the multi-millionaire shouldn't pay only 15% capital gains tax and that it isn't fair.Why is that?????Also for the person that spends their paycheck they only pay state sales tax on what they purchase (6% in my state). Yet the guy that invests pays 15% on gains. So the "investor" is still paying more than the spender.Am I thinking of this right, or am I missing something?Thanks everyone!

Found this in a Newegg 48-hour specialCorsair Nova 60GBPrice starts at $65.99 and then a $10 mail in rebate.
Rebate LinkSpeed is 270MB/sec read, 240MB/sec write.
Corsair Nova 2 series, model # CSSD-V60GB2This model includes RAID support. so one could buy a pair and using RAID get performance simular to the latest/faster drives but for a few dollars less.The closest I could find describing what chipset it used is a form posting saying it was a "Phison" but I wouldn't call it an authoritative source. The reviews on Newegg are very mixed, so YMMV with this drive. The early reviews felt it was great and then later the reviews become more negative.
Not clear if it is quality control issues or user error after the more tech savvy early adopters used it, leaving the people who need extra assistance to leave reviews.
Still, if someone has a super tight budget this could be a good deal.
So after spending some time in the archives I wasn't able to find a solid thread dedicated to a FW Honeymoon. I've been looking for tips online on how to save the most money on the honeymoon and have found some valuable suggestions already, but I figured that I may ask some of the most savvy people on the earth and hope for positive feedback! My Honeymoon1. No pics.2. Projected to be mid-August.3. I'll be paying for it, neither families can help with this.. Trying to keep the budget under $3000, but have 100k Southwest RR's and 140k Delta Skypesos I'd be thrilled to use.4. We both are fairly naive when it comes to traveling to luxurious beach locations.5. Looking for a resort-like location, doesn't need to have included meals since I think that'd inflate the price.6. Again, no pics.7. Packages seem like the worst possible route to go so far by comparing prices.8. I don't know quite what she wants in a honeymoon, but everytime we've talked it seems like just a beach get-away would suffice. Some time for "romance," this could include a few fun activities, as in, places to go or things to see, but nothing like rock climbing or mountain biking. (we get enough of that in Colorado..)9. Military Discounts?---I am not looking for you to do my homework for me, I'm simply looking for suggestions and tips. To me there are 1000 places I could choose from and I really have no clue where to start.Thanks in advance!
For those who missed last weeks deal, or had your ordered cancelled, here's another chance.

Visit Quill.comFirst, if you don't have a BUSINESS account, create one.
TIP: Make sure you use a DIFFERENT business name when registering, as opposed to your first and last name. According to their policy, in-home businesses do not count for business accounts, but I had no problem using my home address for billing and shipping.Search for 24 count packages of K-Cups.Add 6 you your basket (77.94)During check-out, use codes SVP (25 off 75) and UGW (15 manufacturer rebate).
SVP code states "For intended recipients only", so YMMV for this code, and creating a "valid" business account.
I ordered some last week and used the code UGW, which is supposed to be a one-time use code. I'll update this post as soon as I get an order confirmation or cancellation.Good Luck!Attached is my order summary showing discounted prices and the $15 discount.Update
People are saying that the site is only accepting one of these two codes, now.I received my order confirmation about an hour ago, and the UGW code had been removed. I'm not going to call and cancel the order as it's still an OK price at 0.37/cup. Not a great price, but still not bad.

I had this on my wish list when the price was lowered from 9.99 to 3.99. I just checked today and its $0.00. No risk, all I had to lose was some pounds. eBook looks good to me...

I've had health issues for over the past two years that have limited my ability to go to college and work. Without getting into the boring details, I am not going to be able to go back to work or attend college for many months. I know that alot of people make fun of University of Phoenix, but I am sick and tired or just waiting around and hoping for things to change and get better. I would definitely be able to complete online courses at my convenience. That being said, does anyone have any experience with the University of Phoenix or any other online college? I'm interested in Accounting and would like to get an Associate's or a Bachelor's in Accounting. Financial aid or any other tips to knock down the cost would be nice too.Thanks for your help.
just got back from my local Shaws in MA an picked up a bunch of Red Bull single cans at 50% off. just putting it out there for the people in the area that Shaws Supermarkets are in. Happy gitters.
http://www.cflticketxchange.com/Here is the story:I am going to Orlando from Los Angeles on a vacation with my dad. Long story short, we want to go to DisneyWorld and Universal Studios IoA. I came across this site on craigslist and they sell tickets about 40% off retail which is the average CL seller (except this is a "company" and not a person). They say its not a time share or ticket broker, but they just buy tickets in bulk and can sell it for cheap.Part that worries me:
To buy tickets, you must call them and buy tickets over the phone (no online ordering) and they ONLY accept greendot card which is a prepaid giftcard basically that you buy from your local WalMart/Walgreens etc... Once you pay for it giving your prepaid card number, they email you a confirmation with your tickets that you pick up at will call at the park. So my question is, is this site legit or should I stay away? I tried researching the site for fraud sales or happy customers but I came up empty handed. Is it worth the risk to try it out if I find no feedback? I would be saving about $400 which is a lot for this trip. I don't really trust meeting with people because on CL, there are a lot of fraud reports from other users. Anyone have any suggestions?

I've heard increasing reports of people experiencing adverse action from their financial institutions as a result of sending or receiving online bill payments to/from third parties. Since several FWFers may have faced similar situations, I thought it might be useful to share information on the problem.To clarify, the scenario I'm describing is when party A uses a bank's billpay system (e.g. checkfree, BofA billpay, metavante, etc.) to send large sums to the accounts of unrelated party B. The cases of AA I'm hearing about tend to involve paying B's credit card or loan account. I think this is because payments to loan accounts often often greenlit to be transferred quickly via ACH, while payments to 3d parties deposit accounts will typically get held for long periods, reducing the fraud risk to the bank. I've heard multiple accounts now of AA being taken on both ends of these transactions: i.e., on A's deposit accounts only, on B's accounts (credit or deposit), and on both A's and B's accounts. This has not effected me or my family/business, and I haven't had occasion to dwell much on it. But at first glance, it seems to me that if you need to transfer large sums of money, "best practics" for doing so probably involve doing a wire and paying the fee, or at least using a bank-approved "person to person" payments system, or a deposit-to-deposit account billpay payment (that's subject to a hold). All three have their own greater security, and they avoid the perception of trying to "bank door" money transfers, ala money laundering.
What do the rest of you think about this?Anyone have any pertinet data points or other evidence they'd like to share? TIA.
I bought my home 3 years ago in the Bay Area, Ca. Our neighbor stopped by and introduced themselves when we moved in. They also asked if we ever needed gardening services, that his father-in-law did it on the side. Several people on the block currently use his services.Two months ago, I gave up doing my own lawn and contacted my neighbor for bi-monthly lawn service. He is charging me $30 each time to cut and rake my front and back lawns. Our gardener is fairly old (around early 60's). Do you think I should get umbrella insurance? What happens if he gets hurt on my property? I'm paying him by personal check.What do you guys think?
I thought this may be interesting to some:

I am resident of one of the rental apartment. The management staff (2 people) changed around 1 yr ago. This new staff is very rude and tries to give trouble to resident in name of rules and often threaten for legal proceeding and calling their lawyers (for every small things).
Last time they told my wife that she is living illegally here as her name is not in lease. This happened after she been living there for 2 yr. When I went to talk with them they were loud and offensive. I explained them since she dont have SSN the previous staff put her as permanent visitor. They forced us to sign a new lease and deposit for her background check etc.
Now this time they send me a notice about having my account delinquent for not paying proper rent and asking me for late payment fee also. They took some deposit for using the common hall for birthday party and told us to detect that from next month rent which we did and now made a big scene about it.
BTW, lot of people have left these apartment since they have joined, have seen staff yelling on kids in pool in front of their parent for safety rules etc etc
Is there any housing department which can help in case they really go wilder?
I just got a check for $18 in the mail yesterday that I almost threw out. It's postcard sized and looks like junk mail. I think it's from an AMEX foreign currency fee class action settlement for anyone using their card overseas from 2000-2006. Watch your mail - most people in my house, and many at work got them too ... we hadn't done anything other than use our credit cards previously to be eligible for this.
One of the many articles highlighting this freebie can be found here.Be sure to call your local Starbucks to determine if they are participating (unless Starbucks is a routine stop during the day for you), and ask if there is a particular time(s) they will be offering the sample. I have heard a few different stories from friends: some have mentioned the sample is dixie-cup-sized while others have said their Starbucks offered them a full-sized drink (tall) absolutely free. I also read on Starbucks.com that some people who received emails about it showed up at their local Starbucks to discover the samples were only given out in the morning.While you're at Starbucks, be sure to grab cards with codes for free iTunes apps and songs, then post your extra codes in this thread.

I live in Apartment with 800+ units. The apartment management sent out notice that they will be working in apartment (plumbing) for 7 to 8 days from 8AM to 5PM. Workers will enter in my apartment and start working at 8AM. Kitchen and bathroom will not be available during this time. In the notice they offered alternate accommodation in other vacant apartment. When I called for alternate apartment, they told me that they have very limited vacant apartments and lot of tenants are affected with this project. They will provide to alternate apartment to people with medical problems. There is already a long waiting list and I will not get alternate apartment.My wife is home all day with kid. If she cannot cook, cant use bathroom and workers will be working in apartment whole day it will be great inconvenience. Apartment management expects us to do our own arrangement. All I am asking for is alternate arrangement, either in another vacant apartment or in hotel room or at least rent rebate for 7 days rent.Is there any legal recourse for me? I live in California.

Hi FW,Are there any tax people out there. My wife and I just got married in November so this is the first year that we will be able to file joint returns. I was wondering if anyone had any guidelines on whether it is better to file jointly or separately. Here are some facts around our circumstances:My wife is a dentist, she currently doesn't have a practice and just works as an employee. She makes around 100k and has negligible business expenses.
She does not have any major deductions.
She does have school loans that she is still paying off.I am a regular employee at a company and make around 140k.
I own a house with a mortgage, most of the mortgage is interest.
Mortgage interest and property taxes are my major deductions.We plan to buy a practice in the near future, so will have major business expenses related to that most likely.
We live in CA.I can't think of any other key facts. If you have any questions let me know. Based on my own research so far, it most people say in general filing jointly is better for most people. But I'm not sure what the exceptions to that might be. Any tips or guidelines that you know of?Thanks for sharing your wisdom.
Some may wonder why I'm asking a career type question on a finance forum. Its because I believe that many of the people on this forum are highly intelligent, and would be some of the best around at providing great input. Also it is finance related, due to the cost of college, the salary benefit, etc.Is there any way for a person who possesses very good technical skills, very scientific minded, and with a passion for the science/technology/engineering field to get their foot in the door in the industry, with a good paying job and possibility for advancement, based on self knowledge rather than a college degree? I have always been a very technical minded person, and really just have a passion for it. Getting into a job helping engineer new technology, or studying aerodynamics in a wind tunnel, or other similar things is something I think I could really excel in. I actually find myself studying all sorts of various things in the science/technology/engineering/computer field a couple hours every day, just because that's what I'm interested in. I'd be confident to say I probably have the equivalent level of education and technical ability as many people who do have bachelors or 4 year degrees in these general fields. The problem is I can never seem to get my foot in the door without that piece of paper. I do have a new plan of action, which is outside of the box. I haven't had much of a chance to try it yet, but so far it seems promising. Perhaps you guys who may be in the field can tell me what you think, and if you have any advice towards my plan.My plan is to do away completely with the typical resume. Resumes are so boring. And in my case with no degree, and my current trade being construction, a resume is almost worthless. Instead I'm thinking of trying to get more of a portfolio to employers. One with pictures and descriptions of things I do to catch their eye and provide proof that I do have good technical ability. I want it to basically give the idea of "look, I don't have a official degree, but I have the equivalent level of knowledge, and I'm smart enough to learn anything you throw at me". Plus, just because someone has a college degree, doesn't mean they are smart or know much, they may have just smoked pot, partied, cheated on tests, and just squeaked by only to forget most of what they've learned. With a portfolio, it demonstrates proof of competency and ability.Here are some examples of a couple portfolio pages I made slightly related to a recent position. These are by no means the top of my ability since most of these projects were thrown together in only a few hours. I'm plenty capable of bigger, more complex projects. They are simply things I did for fun.Remote control self stabalizing tricopter

http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g355/skydivecarl/Projects/pr...
What do you guys think? Think its a good approach? Any ways to expand this idea, or do some other outside the box idea to break into the industry in a good paying career without the official degree? In general most people I know or run into always assume that I am an engineer, they think I'm joking when I say I'm a construction worker. I've also been told that I'm "one conversation away from a great career, if I just get a chance to network with the right person". I may likely continue education sometime, but at this moment in time getting a degree is out of the question.

Hi,
I am reading up on creating a living trust and a will. From what I have learned so far,
-a living trust is a must if you own a home, stocks etc.
-a will is a must if you have kids
-read /heard warning about doing it yourself, mainly saying, it might be worse than not having a trust or will in the first place, iff you end up not making the trust/Will properly. But, then these were also sites or people giving seminars or teaching public and at the same time selling their services to create trusts/will. So, don't know how much to believe them.
So, would love to get feedback on how you created and if you went via lawyers, how did you narrow down, there are so many...referrals, any thing else to look for when hiring one? typical cost?
Thanks.

NASA selects seven men to become the first astronauts, all test pilots who are prepared to risk their lives. No one has ever survived a vertical launch on top of a rocket, but it's believed to be the only way to put an astronaut into earth orbit. NASA and America's first astronauts, the Mercury Seven, are on a journey into the unknown.

The Apollo program is set to achieve the ultimate prize of the Space Race, landing men on the moon. But a fire breaks out in the pressurized capsule of Apollo 1, resulting in the deaths of three beloved astronauts. However, NASA rebounds, launching men into deep space and landing Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin on the moon.Part 4: The Explorers
Apollo 13 puts the astronauts to the ultimate test, returning a damaged spacecraft back safely to earth. Apollo 17 sends man for the longest mission yet to the surface of the moon, but it's the last lunar mission for generations. Now, it's time for a new phase in the program: converting an unused Saturn V rocket, NASA launches Skylab, America's first space station.Part 5: The Shuttle
For its first 20 years, NASA launches capsules carrying a maximum of three people. But new requirements for a bigger cargo bay prompt a breakthrough in spacecraft design. The development of the re-usable shuttle leads to a revolutionary approach to space travel. Meanwhile, the pioneers of NASA's manned programs are leading the way into the modern era of the space age. Part 6: A Home In Space
One of the most complex instruments ever built, the Hubble Space Telescope is expected to transform our understanding of the Universe. But once it is in orbit NASA discovers a serious problem, a defective main mirror. NASA sends a team of astronauts to fix the problem in its greatest and highest profile mission since the Apollo era. It gives NASA the confidence to begin construction on the International Space Station. Related Categories:

http://www.noisetrade.com/rosiethomasAbout: One night in suburban Detroit, a twelve-year-old Rosie Thomas lay sleepless in her bed, obsessively dwelling on what she perceived to be her lack of life purpose. Then, well after 2 AM, it suddenly hit her. She sprung out of bed and raced down the hall. Daddy, Daddy, I know what my mission in life is, Rosie exclaimed, poking her father. I just want to entertain people. These Friends of Mine is a gathering of friends, collaborative creation, and, in the end, a sincere celebration of music and people The album includes the appearance of friends Sufjan Stevens, Damien Jurado, David Bazan (Pedro the Lion), and Denison Witmer. On February 14, 2012, Rosie will release her first full-length record in four years, With Love. Hailed by The New York Times as a sweet-voiced singer, Thomas makes her return to the studio with a band featuring David Bazan (Pedro the Lion), Blake Wescott (Damien Jurado), brother Brian Thomas, Sam Beam (Iron & Wine) and Jenn Wood (The Postal Service).For Fans Of: Iron & Wine, Sufjan Stevens, Joni Mitchell, Patty Griffin, Norah Jones1 If This City Never Sleeps

PS3 Move bundle on sale for $90 on Best Buy. Thought hey I never used Plastic Jungle before but see people mention it often on FWF. Bought 3 $25 (5% off = $23.75 each) Best Buy eCodes (Using FW CB and 2% AMEX). After several hours no codes, per their normal response time. Call up and they tell me it will take 24-48 hours, their website says "If you purchased an eCODE, it will be delivered as soon as your payment is processed - usually within a few hours." So this morning I get three email notifications of my eCodes. Login and there is only one $25 eCode. Try to call and they say they are not within their normal business hours but they are. Is this normal for Plastic Jungle or have I been unlucky?

FOR THOSE OF U WHO GET THE SUNDAY PAPER: please don't throw out the page in the coupon section that has bonus points for the Labels For Education program. Send the sheet to school w/ your child, and if u don't have a child in school, drop the sheet off at an elementary school. It's a free program and his is how these companies have chosen to support children around the country...If u have any questions about the program, u an either check their websites or send me a PM and I'd be happy to explain it to you! It's a lot like the more popular Box Tops for Education program, but instead of the 10 cents (cash) you get per Box Top (which adds up quickly), you get points in a catalog of things from crayons to smart boards and with school budgets hit hard nationwide, these free programs are a help, BUT ONLY IF WE PARTICIPATE. I apologize for putting this on this forum, but I feel strongly about not throwing out something in a free program run nationwide that can help our children and grand-children. moderator: PLEASE don't delete this message. It's sunday evening and not many people will be reading it anyway...Thanks for your understanding and support. The children u help, thank u!!!For a list of participating products: http://www.labelsforeducation.com/How-to-Earn/Participating-Prod...
Possibly only the e-Savings account, but I didn't see any threads mentioning BB&T, so just in case people like paper statements (like me) and don't want the $3 fee. I did not see this mentioned, so I apologize if this is a repostThe statement had the following:"Effective February 12, 2012, a chance will occur to your BB&T e-Savings account. Your account will be assessed a $3.00 Paper Statement Fee per statement cycle that you receive a paper statement.
To avoid the Paper Statement Fee, simply enroll in online-only statement."I don't know if the fee is waived if the account is linked to a checking. I could not find anything mentioned online regarding this yet. (Student checking also has the $3 fee, but none of the others yet...)I hope this might help save a BB&T customer from the $3 fee. Thank you for reading

Dear Real Estate Adviser,
My friends' son committed suicide, leaving a huge financial mess. He owned his own home, which will go to them once it clears probate (he was single, no children). My friends have their own home and cannot afford to maintain a second. They will have to sell it, but the son's house is seriously underwater. What options do they have?
-- Tessa
Dear Tessa,
My condolences to your friends and their family for their loss
Unless your friends served as co-signers, they are likely not responsible for their deceased son's mortgage. Unlike some other countries, there is no "feudal bondage" here that obligates people to honor financial arrangements made by adult members of the immediate family. One exception is the obligation of spouses to their husband's or wife's mortgage debt in some community property states.Expanded answer is here.

I am very confused how anyone be even reasonably confident of getting a good career through college? It just seems like such a huge gamble with the odds against you.I know so many people that are worse off going to college, than if they didn't. Because after getting out, they only end up in jobs making like $15-$18 an hour, and have $40k+ in debt with accruing interest. I don't really know any people personally who have got their degree and went on doing something they like, and making $60K-$120K a year, like the popular belief is supposed to be.I look through the course brocures at community colleges, and 90% of the so called courses they will teach, are in fields that do not likely pay well, like baker, child care, mechanic, etc. Sure, maybe major universities are better, but unless you are lucky as a child and your parents run a good college fund, the average person can't just put everything in life aside to go to a university mid point in their life.Also, many fields that seem to require degrees have such widely ranging payranges, that how are you supposed to have a clue what to expect? I've "heard of" I.T. guys, network programmers, etc making 6 figure incomes, but ones I've met make dirt. There are a lot of fields like that where you don't know if the pay will be $10 an hour or $40, since its so widely ranging.Most colleges to me seem more concerned about taking your money, since they are a business, than actually getting you into a good career.I've worked quite a few jobs without college, and generally would make more than anyone I knew with a 2-4 year degree. Generally jobs could range from $20-$35 an hour. Currently at about $35, however I don't really like the career, and its also being hit hard by the economy, not getting full hours. I'd be willing to take night classes, get a degree, etc if I was reasonably assured that I would be successful in getting a career that pays at least $30-$40 an hour, but it just seems to me like the odds of that are slim, and the more likely outcome would be racking up massive student loans, finding out that whatever claimed lucrative field I studied, only has low paying jobs available.How does anyone win this gamble?

To not hijack another thread about doctors going broke, I responsed to a post about a distrust of government solutions to financing health care, health care system options, and thoughts about what's being currently discussed in the media...PennState95 said:   Fix the damn system....universal healthcare ISN'T the answer. When has the government done ANYTHING right? We all know the insurance and pharmaceutical industries feed the politicians' campaigns coffers, so don't hold your breath that it will get fixed anytime soon.You want the system fixed, but don't trust the government to do it -- so who then? That is the purpose of government, to take competing interests and come up with a system that's tries to be fair to everyone. Since the insurance and pharmaceutical lobbyists have their say on Capital Hill, and your voice and people like you are against all solutions, effectively your interests are out of the equation.We are being manipulated by advertisements being financed by the same insurance and pharmaceutical industries aimed at making us angry and untrusting of universal coverage and socialized medicine, leaving those industries in control and highly profitable. We have socilaized military, education, police, firefighters, health inspections, pollution control, and public transportation, all being managed by the government with tax dollars, and yet you don't want socialized medicine, a single payer system, or even universal coverage, like they have in all other industrialized countries. We are often told how unhappy patients are in those other countries, and yet when asked, they are very satisifed, and definely don't have the financial problems that you and most others suffer with. Sure, nothing is ever perfect in a human world, but we only hear about exaggerated claims and false issues, while facts are pushed aside.We have media successfully convincing us to lobby against our own interests and settle for much less so others can have much more. Everyone who was against health care reform or allowed the loss of the cost controlling governement regulated single payer option as an alternative to private insurance put us in this mess. We needed this option to keep the private payer profits under control and as a insurer of last resort. States have been regulating similar options in property and auto insurance, such as the state run Citizens Property Insurance of Florida or New York State Automobile Assigned Risk Pool, which acts as a ceiling to high rates for those that might otherwise be uninsurable.As for universal coverage, this nonsense about being required to have health insurance is somehow socialized is just plain false. The US has been one of the only industrialized countries not to recognize the right to health care. You have a car, you have insurance to cover accidents and damage. You have a body, you need insurance to cover the same. Otherwise the system will go broke paying for those who show up at a hospital without any coverage and are then covered by our tax dollars. A well-regulated universal health coverage system would be a more efficient use of our limited health resourses, and much better than what we have now...Edit: fixed topic and updated post to better reflect the issues involved and remove the politics...

I was wondering whether someone could help me. I have a claim against the university I graduated from 3 years ago for about 2000 dollars. I was wondering whether people think it would be a bad financial decision to sue. Will prospective employers see the lawsuit and pick someone else? Will I have trouble if I need help from alumni? Will I have trouble getting transcripts if I need them in the future? Are there any other financial issues to take into account?
Long time user, created new account because I want to be kinda detailed in post.Wife and I are at a point to where we are generating a good amount of extra cash each year. Personal Stats
Early 30s, total household income is around 180k a year before taxes
We already have a house(owe around 290 left on mortgage, house worth much less than loan..yeah for crappy market)
2 young kids(no plans on having more)
College education for kids taken care of(prepaid plan)
Good cars(no plans on replacing them for awhile)Now with that all said, we are looking for ideas for other investments. We currently have the following.
Around 200k in 401k accounts
15k in company stock
35k in savingsWe are putting around 12% of our income into 401k, maxing out company matching.
So we are finally looking into what else we should be doing with our income. We have a couple CDs as part of the 35k in savings(returning 3% rate at the moment). We have finally look at a Roth IRA, but it looks like because of our income we will not be able to do much with it before we are prevented from adding money to it.What else do people in our position do? I am leery of dumping more money into the market outside of our 401k. We are continuing the CDs, but feel that we should be doing something else. Figure there are plenty of people in here who are at the same situation, or close to it.Will stop typing now, because if I put to much more, I am pretty sure people will just red me.Thanks.

Ok here is a great deal everyone for OfficeMax Rewards customers. I purchased two GLEE II MID-BACK MANAGER CHAIR, BLACK 22250403 and I made an extra $80 in OfficeMax Rewards credit. Most people figure at the start of the week this was an Instore deal only however I now can confirm this is an Online promo which I assume is an error as the chair retails for $89.99 instore not $49.99. Here is the math-OfficeMax.com is offering the chair on sale this week for $49.99 however in store there are offering $89.99 OfficeMax rewards credit. I purchased this char online and received the instore credit. I assumed I would as the Ad clearly states you can purchase the chair online or instore and receive the reward. I have posted the screen shots of my order and the OfficeMax perks credit of $179.98So I spend $99.98 on two chairs and got back $179.98 in rewards. Pretty sweet. LINKI'm in the Boston area so my product shows in ad 1 cent after maxperk rewards. Some people are seeing different amounts based on region. Many feel this is a regional deal. This is a part I'm not certain of as the chair shows for me online at $49.99 and it should show at the retail price and not the $49.99 price. In my OM weekly ad it shows the rewards as instore and online, however it doesn't show on the product page online that it has maxperks bonus rewards. I did in fact receive the rewards posted to my account today which is the day after receiving the chairs.
$10.00 off any size order from mpix.com | Even covers shipping
Was ordering a few pictures for a frame we received for xmas and went looking around for a coupon code. Using code TENDOLLARS gives you a $10.00 credit off your final cost(this is after shipping is added). My order was $3.59 including shipping and it ended up being $0.00.Mpix is one of the best places for ordering actual hard copy pictures from digital pictures. A photographer friend of ours recommended it.Just thought I would pass along since there are probably some people wanting to get their holiday photos from digital to paper. I did a search for the coupon code and also mpix before posting, so hopefully not a repost. Enjoy! thanks Runvus

In 1884, Swiss cutler Karl Elsener set up shop in Ibach-Schwyz, installing a waterwheel in Tobelbach Brook to run his grinding and polishing machines. Thus began what would become the international brand name Victorinox, a combination of Victoria, for Elsener's mother, and "inox," or stainless steel. Today, Victorinox produces watches, luggage, clothing, and, famously, Swiss Army Knives. The original product dates to 1897, when Elsener patented the Swiss Officer's and Sports Knife he supplied to the Swiss Army. Following World War II, American servicemen and women shopping in PX stores shortened the name to Swiss Army Knife, which lives on in English-speaking countries around the world and has become a metaphor for versatility.

I'm turning 70-1/2 on May of this year. I read that I could defer drawing RMD until April of next year but I was told by my investment counselor that even if I wait until April 2013 to start my withdrawal, I still have to withraw my RMD for 2012 and my RMD also for 2013 which will increase our earned income in 2013. Is this accurate? Would I still be able to contribute to my 401K while im drawing my RMD? If so how much or is it the same $6,000.00 max for people over 50? What would be some of the good investment to place my RMD? Annuity is notin my plan. I Appreciate all the help and advice from you. Thank you in advance.
First of all, I still cant believe people love these things as much as they do. For those of you that do, 13 deals has a 2 pack (random blue or green) for $6.99 + $3.99 shipping.

Just curious if anyone has input on retirement planning when one is not paying social security tax. My employer has opted employees out of SS but we are required to make a contribution to 401a/414h vehicle which the employer matches. Without SS I have no defined benefit plan (if one can view SS as such) but do have multiple defined contribution plans. My spouse does pay into SS and max-outs a 401K with 6% employer match. When I first was hired I figured not paying into SS was great since who knows what it will look like decades from now when I retire. Now that I have been opted out for over a decade, I now wonder if being opted out is a good idea. My understanding is that a lot of people who are opted out are in defined benefit plans as opposed to defined contribution plans. In other words, there is some guaranteed income in retirement (either a defined benefit or SS). I guess I am looking for experiences from others who are not part of SS, especially for those of you who have retired. We save a lot, basically living on one income. But I wonder what experiences others have had being opted out.

FOR RELEASE AT 10:00 AM
January 4, 2012The annual purchase limit for online United States Savings Bonds is $10,000 per series, effective January 4, 2012, the Department of the Treasury announced today. The new limit applies to Series EE and Series I savings bonds purchased through TreasuryDirect at http://www.treasurydirect.gov. Under the new rules, an individual can buy a maximum of $10,000 worth of electronic savings bonds of each series in a single calendar year, or a total of $20,000.Since 2008, investors could buy a maximum of $5,000 in each series and in each form (paper or electronic). So a single owner could buy $20,000 in one year. As of January 1, 2012, paper bonds are no longer being sold through financial institutions. With today's announcement, the total amount an individual can purchase in online savings bonds in one calendar year is $20,000. An investor still can purchase up to $5,000 annually in Series I paper savings bonds using his/her tax refund and IRS Form 8888.Savings bond purchases have been subject to an annual limit since Series E Bonds were first issued in 1941. Over the years, limits have been adjusted by the Treasury Department several times and have ranged from a low of $3,750 for Series E bonds from 1941 through 1947 to the $30,000 limit for both Series EE and Series I bonds from 2003 through 2007.For more information about savings bonds, visit http://www.treasurydirect.gov.

I seem to be getting a few more of these after the Christmas deals including the AMEX gift chain (several 10s and 20s) and the Mastercard promotion for spending 200 online. Some software rebates are also coming back on these gift cards. Most have expiration dates so using them as they come in before they end in the sock drawer. You also do not want to end up with a small balance on them that you will lose. I wanted to combine ideas on how to deal with them. You obviously want to use them where you normally shop and get the lowest Cash Back. (i.e. It does not make sense to use for gas since you should be getting at least 5% for using your credit card).Ideas:1. Make a payment to a utility online. I have done that several times for my phone bill. 2. Buy a store gift card where you shop already. I have had good luck with buying Wal-Mart gift cards online with these so I can use at Sam's Club. The nice thing about Wal-Mart is that you can then combine these again online (can use 3-4 gift cards) to combine into another gift card. Have also went to the service desk at the Store.3. Splitting payments. I have seen people standing in line trying to explain to a cashier and holding up the line with these cards. Probably not the best.4. Paypal/Serve Services....if want cash. Might be better for larger gift cards. Also have seem some reports of account closure over this.Avoid: Pay at the pump since it will not work (You end up with an authorization hold over the card balance).

We have been in a home for nearly 18 months (Texas). We're now on month-to-month lease. My lease is with a property manager, not the owner. Around 3 months ago, a seizure notice from the constable shows up on the door related to a lawsuit against the owner. 2 months ago, notices from the bank and people knocking on the door looking for the owner. Clearly the property is being defaulted on.Property manager has now told me I can stop paying all rent, and wait until a bank or someone comes knocking asking us to leave. In my mind, this is great - I see foreclosure taking 60-120 days before anyone comes knocking asking us to leave, and with other laws potentially another 90 days above that. Any other advice for me in this situation?Thank you

A friend who was away for the holidays was informed there were multiple people killed at his residence in which he rents. He is scheduled to go back tomorrow. I am seeking advice in terms of hazmat cleaning services. I have a few questions and I'd like to keep the details to a minimum for now. Obviously I understand some questions are difficult without more details, dependent on policy/lease, a lawyer may be necessary, etc. This was in CA.1. Is this something local authorities typically handle, homeowners policy, renters, or out of pocket? 2. If my friend is responsible for cleanup, does anyone have any recommendations of a national cleaning service or a state one in CA and an approximate price range he should expect?3. I also realize state laws vary, but is it typical to break a lease in unfortunate circumstance such as this without financial repercussions?***Thank you FWF. Happy New Year. Be Safe and Merry!

I doubt this story directly affects the typical FW Finance reader, but this is an interesting article about a relatively new practice. Debt Collectors are dangling new credit cards to people who have old balances whose statue of limitations has expired. The catch is that the new card comes with a portion of the old debt already included. Some folks are jumping on it, because it means they can finally get a credit card again. Charges of deceptive practices are following close behind. This sounds like offering AA attendees membership in the wine a month club....From the WSJ
No one was more surprised than Thomas Carpenito with the credit-card invitation that landed in his mailbox earlier this year.

The 27-year-old deli owner from White Plains, N.Y., had about $10,000 in old debts and a credit rating 200 points below "good." He recalled thinking the post office had delivered the letter to the wrong house.

Far from a mistake, the offer was part of a controversial and growing partnership between debt collectors and banks that profits both. To get the new credit card, Mr. Carpenito agreed to repay $400 on a seven-year-old debt that had expired under New York's statute of limitations.

so my kids mow my rental property (held as personal property / not an LLC) and bill me for it and this year they cross over the $500 level - do they owe for self employment tax? The side issue is they contribute most of it to a ROTH IRA & I'd like to keep that working.Next year I'd like them to be able to Mow the property of an LLC of which we are a 25% partial owner, or even other people's property.
I understand mowing in the neighborhood vs mowing a business may cross the child labor line? How do I avoid the self employment tax?
not create undo liability issues for non-residential or my partial LLC? Can I become a mowing company (non incorporated family business) and hire my kids under the family business or will that break some child labor law (if we mowed for some other entity)? I'd like to be able for them to maximize income, for me I'd like to absorb and take all the business expenses. (right now the kids are 12 & 11)
I tried searching and didn't really come up with anything. I'm mainly starting this topic for discussion purposes, as I don't really have any insight into the best way to lease a car, yet I "hear" things all the time about how there are great lease deals available if you're willing to dig around and do your homework. Things like loss-leader "ad cars," outgoing model year closeouts, unpopular/ugly models (Chevy HHR anyone?), car companies having "issues" (e.g. Toyota in early 2010).Obviously, conventional wisdom is that leasing (or even buying a car brand new) is a "bad deal." Just like "credit cards are a bad deal," which we on FWF know to be false, if you have the financial sense to make the product work for you. I know people on this forum as well as bogleheads have mentioned having ~$100/mo leases, presumably with nothing or minimal down. Are these type of deals even possible other than dumb luck? Anyone have any insight into how to score a deal so good on a lease that its better than hanging on to your beater car that will likely need more than $100/month in repairs over its remaining life?I would presume that any type of deal would probably require going with whatever model happens to be available at the best price, rather than the car that you might "really want." For example, I'm in the market for a new car, and considering the new SkyActiv Mazda3 models. But if I could lease, say, a base-model Civic or Corolla for $100/mo, I'd probably just go with that as that is even cheaper than I expect to spend maintaining and repairing my existing vehicle with about 100K miles on it.Please no stupid comments like "leasing is never a good deal" etc., we know that's the case most of the time, I'm looking specifically for the cases where you can come out ahead leasing a new car vs. buying used or maintaining an existing vehicle. I realize that with proper research and negotiation one can also get an equivalently good deal buying a new car, but for now lets stick to leasing as for many situations there is value in the guarantee of being able to dump the car easily after a set time period.
Early 2011 13.3" Macbook Pro (MC700LL)-LIKE NEW Condition @ Amazon Warehouse Deals:NOW $805.47 shipped
Hi all,
I got in on this deal about a month ago, so I figured I'd pay it forward to anyone who missed last months' deal or wasn't aware of it.For those who aren't aware, from time to time, "Like New" Macbook Pro's show up on the "Warehouse Deals" Section of Amazon's site. I've been told that these are typically customer returns which have little or no usage. For reference, I purchased 3 of these the last time around, and 1 had 0 battery cycle charges, 1 had 1 cycle, and the other had 3. Regardless, this means that none of the computers were used much at all. All 3 were in immaculate cosmetic condition. I literally couldn't find any scratches, marks, or cosmetic blemishes on the models. Just as a reference, I believe the refurb versions of these went for $929+tax+S&h (where applicable), so those probably went for ~$1030+....IMO this seems like a better deal than the refurb Apple (if they come back in stock) or the open box Best Buy deal. Also, if you receive one that's in unacceptable condition, you should have no issue returning them back to Amazon. This is why I ordered 3 from the initial deal, so I could inspect, and keep the one in best condition. Honestly, none of them were discernible from New, other than being charged once or 3 times.
Here's the link to the page:
Here Is The Link....Scroll down to the ~5th option under sellers, which shows "Amazon Warehouse Deals" as the seller.Figured I'll list the specs of this model as well:2.3GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 processor
320 GB Hard Drive, 8x DVD/CD SuperDrive, 4 GB DDR3 RAM, Precision aluminum unibody
13.3 inch LED-backlit display, 1280-by-800 resolution
Intel HD Graphics 3000 with 384MB of DDR3 SDRAM shared with main memory
High Speed Thunderbolt Port, FaceTime HD Camera, Mac OS X v10.7 LionI haven't done so myself yet, but many people mentioned registering the full apple warranty to their mbp by sending the Amazon receipt to Apple customer care.

Greetings and Happy Holidays to All! It's time to get the 2011 Career Thoughts and Compensation Thread rolling. I started doing these threads annually on the FW Finance board in 2006. When I originally started this thread five years ago, I thought it could serve as a great resource for people to learn about the ups and downs of various careers, including information such as salaries and benefits. I have always found these threads particularly informative and interesting.Last year's thread seemed to have a lot of good information, even though it only stayed active for a couple of months. Hopefully this year's thread can remain active for longer. Now gang, here's a reminder of the rules, which 99.9% of you have been great at following over the past four years:If you participate, please try to keep this a positive, informative thread, and let's not get into any arguments about how one's career/education/compensation makes him/her superior/inferior to other people. Contribute as much or as little information as you're comfortable sharing, but please be honest so that this may serve as a truly informative thread for people mulling their career options.So, now that the ground rules have been set, how did your job go this year? Did things go well or not so well? How well were you compensated for 2011? Did the poor economy have a serious effect on your career? Maybe each person can give a brief description of themselves, their job, their education levels, and their salaries, present and maybe even projected salaries for the future. As always, since I'm starting the thread, I have to bite first:
Gender: MaleAge: 39Location: Northern NJOccupation: Urban Educator (My fancy title for a teacher in a city of low socioeconomic standing)Education: M.A., plus 33 additional credits2011 Compensation: $90,000 (Base Pay + a little extra money taking on extra duties.) Base salary for the 2011-2012 school year is about $88,000 right now, but should be more, since we do not have a current contract right now. (More on that in a minute.) My compensation this year is pretty much the same as it was last year, although last year's figure was inflated a bit due to a pretty large amount of retro pay due to me.Future Salary Projection: When our contract is settled (very soon hopefully), my base pay should be in the 100K range. This is the top of the teachers' guide in our district, so future raises are going to be smaller after this, maybe 2K to 3K per year more for the foreseeable future. Benefits: Full medical, although teachers in NJ now have to pay a percentage of their salaries for their medical benefits. (It's currently 1.5% of base salary, but it's going up even more in the new year.) We get modest dental, generous sick and personal time, a decent pension plan (at least if the state doesn't default on the benefits), tremendous job security once you achieve tenure (but virtually none before that, and even with tenure, you can still have the daylights menaced out of you. Also keep in mind that not all states offer tenure, in which case you can pretty much be fired at will no matter how much time you have in a particular district.) In almost all districts in NJ, you can accumulate sick time from year to year. What's the job like?Very difficult and getting more difficult by the year. Tremendously long hours, almost no down time during the school day (I don't take lunch very often),lots of work at home, deplorable working conditions, with some classrooms reaching temperatures of 90+ degrees and others below freezing. Prepare to adopt some small scurrying pets who have made your classroom their home in older buildings in urban districts. You will also most likely need to spend a decent amount of money on supplies for students because your school won't provide them, even though they insist on your using them. Very little respect and support from most supervisors, parents, and students. I do it for the good kids and because I love teaching. Massive budget cuts have made the job even more difficult. Many teachers (myself included) are now finding themselves doing two jobs for the price of one due to massive retirements and staffing cuts.Would you recommend the career to others?Every year, it's become harder and harder for me to recommend teaching as a career. Public employees all over the U.S. have taken a real bashing over the past couple of years, and teachers seem to be Public Enemy #1 of the group. This is not an easy job. If you're doing it correctly, it's at least a 50-60 hour a week job, and it's 50-60 hours of grueling work. Teachers in urban districts in particular have taken a real beating. They are expected to be miracle workers, solving all of our society's ills. On top of that, there seems to be a growing chorus of people calling for teacher salaries and benefits to be cut to the bone. And, unfortunately for new teachers, your benefits are going to vanish before the benefits for the veteran teachers will. Once the teacher bashing subsides, I may be able to recommend teaching again as a profession. But for right now, it might be better to see what else is out there.

Yes, they have shrunk down to .2 lbs raw meat instead of the old .25 lb...BUT THEY STILL TASTE GREAT!
Next year I'll have a one-time sale of stock for a very large gain. I live in a flat-tax state that'll take about 5% of the net from the sale. I'm in a transitional period in terms of housing (renting), can move to any state next year at any time during the year, and my job is a telecommute across the country. I can choose when to exercise the sale. As far as I can tell, I should be taxed at the state level on this "unearned income" only in the state I live in -- for some suitable definition of "live" -- at the time of the sale. What would stop me from moving to New State (NS) next year in November, closing up shop in Old State, registering my cars in NS, registering to vote in NS, etc., selling my stock, and then moving back to OS in the following year (or, for that matter, some small number of days later)? I see a whole lot of posts for capital gains on home sales (not very relevant), for people who have earned income concerns (not relevant), things regarding "intent" (I would certainly _intend_ to live in NS for a few months), "domicile" and "residency" and how these things seem to be defined differently in each state, situations where people have property in both states, situations where people live in RVs, and so on. But I can't really find any forum threads where someone's concluded that this strategy is legit, or any accounts from someone who's done it and said "yep, worked great" (or the opposite), or pretty much anything to give me much confidence.Thoughts? Good idea? Dumb idea?

LinkSolid enclosure supporting up to 3TB drives with USB 2.0 and eSATA support. Actively cooled with an 80mm fan. 4 egg average over 1053 reviews. I've read a lot of examples of people using these as enclosures for eSATA DVR expanders. The fan can help if the drive needs to sit near a hot DVR box.I have one and it feels solidly built and went together easily. The fan isn't too loud and the piece of mind that the drive is staying cool is a plus for me. The LED isn't too annoying, but it'd be nice to have a shutoff. I might buy an extra to keep around.This enclosure has been available for $25 this Christmas season but this is the lowest price I've seen and was well worth the $30 I paid.
Hi everyone, I found a pretty good deal if you didn't get that Nook Color under the tree this year. It's not the best bargain I've seen, but if you're having Nook envy it's not a bad deal.It's $179 (free shipping) on eBay sold directly by Barnes and Noble. Let's keep this post friendly (it is the Holidays for goodness sake!!): Please no 'Nook Color vs. Kindle Fire vs. iPad' wars. They're all good products. I just wanted to post this for the people that were thinking about buying the Nook Color.I hope this is helpful and Happy Holidays!Nook Color on eBay
My parents are going to be in the US for a little over a year and are trying to figure out the most cost effective way to get a car during that period. They're currently living overseas, will be returning to the United States for approximately a year and then moving overseas again. They have a car that they're happy with but they can't get it shipped to and from the US for the brief period that they're going to be here. They're the sorts of people who drive fairly economical cars (think Hondas, not BMWs) but please no suggestions for 10-year old Crown Vics. With current high used car prices the option that seems to make the most sense would be to buy a car that holds its value well and then sell it when they move a year later. Something like a Honda Fit won't take too much of a depreciation hit unless the used car market suddenly implodes. I thought about recommending a lease but as far as I know leases are usually for three years. Is it possible to get a one year lease for a new or lightly used car?
Great add-on for all you people who got tablet computers for Christmas (at least the ones that have memory card slots).

I saw this on another site and thought some people here may be interested.Looks like the shipping option is out of luck, but Ico/Shadow of the Colossus is $20 at K-Mart, still available for in store pickup my area, YMMV.I'd purchased this game as a gift for some people at BestBuy.com over Christmas (because it's an incredible set of games) and was able to call up and pricematch, so if you've purchased it recently, give the price match policies a look and you could be due some money back.Here's a link

B&H ReviewsI'll be using this on a 5D mkII. I take video every now and then. I decided to take the plunge as I am one of those who feel that reviewers are much more likely to write lengthy negative reviews than to write positive ones when all is going well. Just my take on it. I haven't had much experience with Kingston rebates.

Hi! I am working as a HR- Assistant Manager in SGFX Financial Ltd. I contradict to many peoples comments which were posted earlier. Since, its a start-up company, initially for a month, it took time to set up systems, departments, procedures and policies. But since months have passed, our company is doing excellent in terms of its functioning. Being the HR I am aware that my employees are satisfied with the company. Even as an employee myself, I feel that my official documents are in place, my salary is credited on time, we have a proper professional way of functioning.
I am ambitious and pretty hopeful about my career with this company. As the company grows, I see myself at a height.
6pm discounts a selection of men's, women's, and kids' shoes and accessories, as listed below. Plus, all orders qualify for free shipping with no minimum purchase required. That puts many items at or near the lowest total price we could find. Sales end December 26. The deals:Lucky Brand and Free People: 18% to 80% off, deals from $10.33
Men's Shoes and Eyewear (GUESS, Steve Madden, more): 22% to 75% off, deals from $18
Women's and Girls' Knit Boots (Muk Luks, Skechers, more): 6% to 70% off, deals from $12
Men's and Women's Boots (DKNY, Charles, more): 24% to 77% off, deals from $24.99
Women's Clogs (Hunter, Frye, more): 20% to 88% off, deals from $19.99
The discount is only good until 12/25 -- but the certificate is good forever (according to the T&C). While there are varied (and often questionable) Fandango deals around, this one seems reasonable and worked for me. Basically you get a $50 Fandango credit for $35 through your corporateperks. Normally this isn't so great because 1) Fandango doesn't allow you to use "free ticket" promos on Imax and 2) There is a $2 fee / ticket. BEFORE YOU DO THIS MAKE SURE YOUR THEATERS PARTICIPATE.So here is my math, yours will vary ... I used it to take the family to see Tintin @ 3D Imax$35 for $50 credit$12 x 2 for children
$15 x 2 for adult
$2 x 4 for nonsense service fees
--
$62 (or $54 if you didn't use Fandango).So with the discount, you are in for $47 out the door. That is a decent cut and pretty good if you were to do it through Fandango. You'd still be in for $54 at the box office so it is _STILL_ better than the box office. But since there is a service fee, it is best to amortize that over the highest price tickets (which are typically 3d-imax or real3d).Anyway happy holidaysBTW, I took the fam to see the movie at a 10am showing. *MAYBE* 20 people in the whole theater.EDIT: I clarified the expiration of the deal/certificate.

I am going to be going from NY to ABQ on 6/30 and returning 7/12.
I can fly out of anywhere in NYC, Newark NJ, Newburgh NY, White Plains NY, Albany NY, or Danbury CT.
This'll be a group of 10+ people so I expect to be able to use some sort of a group discount. I do not need a hotel/rental car/etc.
The cheapest airfare I've been able to find is in the range of ~$350. I use the AAdvantage miles program (usually fly American) but I couldn't care less which airline I use as I'm just looking to save some money.
I flew this same route in 2010 for ~$300 (no group fare).If anyone has any tips/discounts/etc. please let me know
Thanks in advance

Hey FWF,I posted a few months ago that I was going to quit my corporate job and pursue a startup. There was some interest in me posting periodic updates on startup life.I ended up moving down to San Francisco in late October to work on the startup. My co-founders and I just received seed funding from a startup accelerator a couple weeks ago. While this in no way means we'll be successful (the odds are still very much stacked against us) it was a great validation of the direction we were moving towards as a company. It also provided me with some personal validation with respect to my decision to leave my corporate job. Even with the seed money, we're still not taking any salary and rolling it all into business costs which are mainly server costs as we're still working out of one of our apartments. We all have enough personal runway to last a while.The process for getting seed funding happened very quickly. We created our prototype in 3 weeks and presented it to the investors who grilled us on our vision and direction. They liked what we pitched and we got a phone call the next day saying they'd like to fund us. The funding process for startups is broken up into a few main rounds: seed/angel, series A, series B, etcAt the seed and angel stage, startups are typically looking for <$1MM in funding and is usually taken within the first 6 months to a year of the startup's life. From the investors' perspective, they know there's a huge failure rate for startups at this stage. What they are looking for are startups with high betas. They don't particularly care about companies with limited growth potential but would otherwise be a profitable enterprise. They really want to catch the next Facebook, AirBnb or Dropbox. For better or for worse, this mentality permeates the Valley. That being said, if you're looking to do a tech startup there's no other place to be. All other things being equal, a startup in the Valley will do better than a startup elsewhere simply because there's a huge pool of technical talent and investors here. Every week there's at least one startup party or networking event which leads to meetings and coffee with potential investors. At the very least you meet a bunch of very smart and very interesting people.
Hello FWF Crowd. Since you all provided me such great advice and wisdom on my last thread, I thought I would come back for a second helping.I have received a job offer from a new company and would appreciate any and all advice relating my current position versus the new one.Current Job:
-Financial Analyst (a lot of financial reporting, forecasting and general accounting)
-Division of Emerson Electric (aka: behemoth company)
-$41,200/year - little opportunity for raise or bonus
-Employer will consider paying for an MBA (with a 2 year payback period after)
-15 minute commute from current apartmentNew Job:
-Risk Analysis (figuring out consumer cost of credit for a boutique lender)
-Small boutique finance company that has recently been bought by a large hedge fund (more on this below)
-$58,000/year + profit sharing (Likely between 3-10% yearly)
-No tuition reimbursement for an MBA (small chance in the future, I was told not to bet on it)
-45 minute commute, would likely move to a new apartment for a shorter commuteMy concerns are as follows:1. I would be moving from a giant worldwide division of a bigger worldwide company to a small company that does business in about half the U.S. states. What are the benefits of being a bigger fish in a smaller pond, versus a minnow in an ocean?2. The company I work for is relatively stagnant with no major opportunities for market growth. The new job has internal projections of 20-40% growth and conservatively doubling in size in 5 years. Since it's a private company, I have no visibility into their operations through news sources, internet, etc.3. The MBA I am considering is around $30,000. Objectively, I can take the new job and pay for it in cash, have no payback period to anybody. On the other hand, $30,000 tax free (tuition reimbursement being tax free) is objectively a $35-40k raise over 4 years.4. Having little information about the new employer, it's hard to tell if they really are growing like they claim to be. That being said, they were just bought by a large private equity group (most FWF'ers would know the name) and that reassures me that those people don't make bad investments.5. I am currently in a very defined career path. People at my company who are in Finance stay in Finance until they either leave or die. The new job is a brand new position, they have no idea what the career path is and they are fine with me building my own whether that is building a department for myself or going into another part of the business.6. Obviously I am being offered a very healthy raise (and who couldn't use more cash?) but as it is, I have no debt, drive a paid off car with plenty of life left in it, and live a very comfortable lifestyle. What I really want is to make the smartest long term decision, what is $20,000 now versus hundreds of thousands one way or another later?7. I have a chronic health condition so medical insurance is very important. What are the best questions to ask to ensure that the health insurance at the new company is as good (or better) than my current insurance? It would be possible that with worse insurance I could be suddenly paying thousands more out of pocket.So, answer as few or as many as you want, I'll answer any question I can to give more detail.

I was just at TARGET and the $60 itunes giftcard bundle ( 4-$15 cards) was on sale for $52.
Not exactly a SUPER HOT deal but a nice deal if you want some lower Itunes cards for gifts for different people.
This makes each $15 card come out to $13 each.I guess a decent deal since the lower cards aren't usually on sale and it's usually the SINGLE higher priced cards on sale.http://www.target.com/p/Apple-iTunes-Card-Multi-Pack-60-00/-/A-1...

So, my business is basically a car-finder/negotiation service. My website is here. You tell us what you're looking for, and then we line up some deals for you, and negotiate a good price for you before you get to the lot. Then you can go look at a couple of cars, and if you like one, you buy it. You don't have to drive around town to look for a car, you don't have to deal with salespeople, etc.I realize this won't appeal to the average FWF reader because you guys probably have negotiating skills/the ability to research a good deal, etc. I've been doing this for a little under a year, and had about a dozen people commit to working with us, so our marketing has been going about as well as I expected. Here's the problem: people don't buy the cars we set up. And it's not like they're finding good deals, they're buying horrible deals!Client 1: Wanted a new car, MSRP 16,900, Invoice 16,300, we set her up with a deal at 15,200. She tells me "I don't want any extra options, I'm on a fixed income, and I just need a very basic car, I want this exact model" etc. So, a few days after I call her to tell her about the deal I set up, she tells me she bought one of these cars for over $19k with total bullshit options she didn't need or even want until some salesman talked her into them ($1000 "power package" when power windows and locks are standard?!), bought a full extended warranty, weatherproofing, all at full price. Didn't even call to consult me.Client 2: Wanted to spend about $5000 on a car. Said she wanted a Focus, I got her a great deal, but then she wanted a Jetta with a manual transmission, so I got her a nice 2004 with leather seats and a bunch of nice options, low mileage, etc. for under $5000. She turns around and buys a 2000 with high miles for about $5000, automatic (not what she wanted). Dealer probably made around $4000 off of her.My service charges 20% of what our client saves from either MSRP (new) or KBB (used). So, if I get a dealer to come $1000 off of MSRP, I charge $200.My clients don't appear to be pissed off at me, the ones that buy the cars I set up are really happy and actually refer people, while the people who don't buy the cars always tell me "Man, I really appreciate all your help, but I just found this great deal!" (which isn't actually a great deal).Now, please brutally criticize everything about my business: is it a fundamentally flawed approach to working with consumers? Is this a great theoretical solution that doesn't work with gullible people? Should I switch to a flat fee? Should I charge up front? Should I be much more picky with who I do business with so I don't waste my time and only work with high-margin clients?Feel free to criticize ANYTHING, all I ask is that you suggest a better way of doing it.
Hi everybody, Long-time reader, new poster, so bear with me please. My mother was recently sued by a credit card company to the tune of about $8,000. It also turns out she had another $7,000 in credit card debt that did not go to collections yet, but the delinquency letters were coming in the mail. We hired an attorney to file for bankruptcy to clear her credit card debt. She recently had a court hearing and everything was discharged. For those wondering, she incurred the bulk of the debt while she was raising my sister and I as a single parent. Even with this credit card debt essentially gone as of right now, she is still living paycheck to paycheck and just barely scrapping by. I paid for the attorney, I just paid her taxes for the year ($2,000 +), and occasionally pay her mortgage (about 3-4 times a year), phone bill, and auto insurance. My mother is 55 and makes about $27,000 a year and has a very minimal retirement savings (less than $5,000). Financially, I can't keep helping her out. I was wondering if anybody knew of any programs for low income people in which she may qualify? As far as I know, her income is considered "too high" for many government programs that I am aware of. Thanks
I know this is limited to certain people as its a regional supermarket, but for anyone living near a ShopRite, they currently have 30 Packs of AA or AAA batteries on sale for $4.99 each (with shopping card). Or about 16 cents per battery.Sale is only good through tomorrow night (12/17). But they still had a ton in stock at my store when I was there tonight. The limit is 4 per variety.

I think that is strange and I wonder how many people get the giant cup option because it seems like a waste of money.

LINKEarlier deal posted by sars here, now improved with $10 coupon code AXX51184 (exp. 12/18) and free econoship. Now $69.99 OTD (+ tax in TX, SD, NC, IL, ID, GA, FL ) - $3.50 FWCB.Magellan GPSs don't seem to excite a lot of people, but with lifetime maps I think this is a pretty good deal for a 5" screen, even for a refurb.

Ok so I'm in a dilemma. Ultimately I know this question comes down to personal preference but I want peoples opinions.I'm in the military and get a 900$ housing allowance on top of my regular pay. I found an awesome place that I like for about 950$ a month (I'd pay the 50 outta pocket), but there's also a guy I work with who just bought a brand new 2 story house (just built it this year) and offered me a room to move into for 400$ a month.I'd be living with him and his friend and also one week out of the month another one of his friends that comes to the city on business. They seem like cool guys but idk if the privacy of my own place is worth giving up. Plus I'd want a pet that I wouldn't be able to have in the house.I keep thinking about the money though, I'll be here for about 3 years and it's literally an 18,000$ savings over 3 years if I move in with them...a lot of money.What would u guys do?
This does not interest me, but I know a few people are on the look out for these. Here is the email that I got.Thank you for signing up to be alerted to HP TouchPad inventory updates.

We last contacted you about the HP TouchPad bundles in early
November. Those bundles sold out in mere minutes.

We just received a small shipment of HP TouchPads that will be
made available, Thursday, December 15th, at 2:30pm Eastern Time.

They will only be available on our website by going to the following link:
www.tigerdirect.com/sectors/campaigns/hp/touchpad_available.asp?...


Our call center does NOT have access to this inventory. Again,
you can only purchase the TouchPads online by going to
www.tigerdirect.com/sectors/campaigns/hp/touchpad_available.asp?...

Now, we DO NOT have enough HP TouchPads to satisfy everyone who
has signed up to get these HP TouchPad alerts. So, we wanted to
give you a quick heads up before it goes live Today at 2:30pm ET.
Remember, it's likely to sell out within about 30 minutes, if not
sooner.
www.tigerdirect.com/sectors/campaigns/hp/touchpad_available.asp?...


In the event you try to purchase and it sells out, just know
we're continuing to try to source more HP Touchpads bundles. As
soon as we get more, we will send you a quick email to let you
know. Be assured we are working aggressively to get more.

EXPECTATIONS
Due to overwhelming demand for this product, it's expected to
sell out in less than 30 minutes. That means that it may say
"SOLD OUT" before 3pm. Also, we're limiting this inventory to
one unit per customer. Sorry. No rainchecks. No backorders.
Once we sell out, that's it.

Free iphone/ipad app this week from starbucks Here is link (StarWalk)http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/star-walk-5-stars-astronomy/id295...This app has 5 star rating in the app store, i haven't used it though.Code: RA76JKTNPKYYThis code is can be used for only one download i guess so people who don't have starbucks nearby can use this.Enjoy.
Baen Books has a number of its titles available for free. They call it surprisingly enough: the Baen Free Library. Books can be downloaded in one of several formats. An explanation of why they do this, which books/authors, etc is here. A link to the list of books available is here. Books are always available, but the selection can change anytime. There are well over 100 books listed, so I'm not going to list them all here. They seem to cover the Scifi/Fantasy spectrum: space, vampires, different worlds, magic, dragons, robots, etc.Some of the authors in the catalog:
Mercedes Lackey
David Weber
Jerry Pournelle
Larry Niven
Gregory Benford
Harry Turtledove
Andre Norton
Roberta Gellis
...and many more
I think this a great way to introduce people to an unfamiliar author - I know I will be exploring a number of authors new to me. I will also be buying more books from them as a way of supporting this library and encouraging more authors to participate.

There is government assisted program, however many of us can be qualified, sorry if repost. For those who complained that free lunch get by people who own iPhones, do not bother, this program doesn't cover iPhone.
Not sure why they moved my thread to travel discussions.

I have a 94 Acura Integra - 115K miles, mostly highway / easy driving. Runs smoothly, no mechanic problems. Just had brakes (pads & rotors) replaced. Interior is in excellent condition, however there is water leak in the truck and a bit rusting around the wheel wells. I know this car is worth very little due to its age despite how well it drives and that it'll last many years to come. Recently, after my last routine visit to get my oil change/brakes done, I discovered the latch to the hood is broken (not the cable but the lever inside the hood). So now I can't get the hood open at all. Estamate cost to fix is $300 to 450.I really don't want to sink another couple hundred into this car since I've been wanting to get another car anyway. Wondering whether my best option is to sell it on my own (Craigslist) or trade-in at dealer. A friend of mine who lives close by sold the same car (his Integra is a 96) in the last few months for $1500 private party thru CL. I looked up mine in Edmunds and found that it should be worth about $1200. I'm concerned that with the hood not being able to open, private sales will be difficult since most people want to see what's under the hood. What about the dealer - since they take it to auction anyway (my guess), will they care about the hood and try to buy the car for almost nothing? I've never traded-in a car before so I have no experience how the trade-in negotiation looks like.The donation route only gets me about $500 in tax deduction which doesn't do me much good since I don't itemize my tax return.
MacMall has just posted new $50 mail-in rebates on the previous model MacBook Airs that they have remaining in stock. The rebate is good through December 16, 2011. Here are the best deals:1. MacBook Air 11.6" Core 2 Duo 1.6 GHz, 4 GB RAM, 128 GB SSD: $822.99 shipped after MacMall and 3% FatWallet rebates
2. MacBook Air 13.3" Core 2 Duo 2.13 GHz, 4 GB RAM, 256 GB SSD: $1064.52 shipped after rebatesThese are brand new machines, in factory-sealed boxes. The current model machines with equal RAM and SSD capacities have list prices of $1199 and $1599 respectively. So you're getting a steep discount for buying the previous model. Primary improvements in the new model are faster CPUs, addition of a Thunderbolt port, and a backlit keyboard. There's one notable disadvantage with the current model: it only runs Mac OS X 10.7. The previous model machines come with Mac OS X 10.6 and a free upgrade to 10.7. Mac OS X 10.6 was the last version to run older PowerPC-only software such as Quicken for Mac.These are very, very good value machines if the improvements in the newer model don't matter (or don't matter enough) to you. For most people that's probably very true.

Sorry if a repost. I swear I did a search before posting this. It seems Google Voice is going to be free for 2012. This has been confirmed by many major voip blogs and a banner is floating around with this information. Just another reason to not pay more to your wireless provider as Google voice will give free calls and texts to everyone fro one more year. It might not mean much to some people but for many it is a major deal. I personally use Google Voice for texting and it saves me $5 a month for unlimited text from ATT.Here is one of the sources that I follow:
Google voice is free for one more year, till the end of 2012

I am a long time forum reader, and was wondering if other business owners on here could offer some advice. I own a small/medium business, and we am in need of some outside accounting audits for the purpose of raising a funding round. We have never raised any capital before, and all accounting is done inside. There are a couple of bids from what appear to be legitimate, respected accounting firms in the Bay Area. However, there are absolutely no reviews of them that I was able to find anywhere. Is there a site that offers reviews of accounting firms? People's experience with them, etc. Any help would be appreciated.

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-12-01/raise-taxes-on-the-rich...The opinion is written by Nick Hanauer,, an entrepreneur who created several successful businesses. He saysAs an entrepreneur and venture capitalist, Ive started or helped get off the ground dozens of companies in industries including manufacturing, retail, medical services, the Internet and software. I founded the Internet media company aQuantive Inc., which was acquired by Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) in 2007 for $6.4 billion. I was also the first non-family investor in Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN)

Even so, Ive never been a job creator. I can start a business based on a great idea, and initially hire dozens or hundreds of people. But if no one can afford to buy what I have to sell, my business will soon fail and all those jobs will evaporate.

Thats why I can say with confidence that rich people dont create jobs, nor do businesses, large or small. What does lead to more employment is the feedback loop between customers and businesses. And only consumers can set in motion a virtuous cycle that allows companies to survive and thrive and business owners to hire. An ordinary middle-class consumer is far more of a job creator than I ever have been or ever will be. I have always been holding the view that a thriving middle class is a necessary condition of a strong economy, (which was ultimately the real reason we won WW2 and the cold war, if you ever wonder what a strong economy is good for). Entrepreneurs, investors, consumers are all key ingredients of success. This article is yet another voice from the top that is saying the tax policy pendulum is swinging too far in favor of the top and at the expense of the middle class consumers.
Best Buy's is clearancing their 2011 Garmin nMaps Onetime North America NT Map Update DVD
Model: 010-10989-03 SKU: 9939832 UPC/EAN: 753759105785
Price is 14.99 at my BB's Store in Orange, CA.FYI, the 2011 update dvd looks just like the 2012 version. You'll know it's the 2011 one if you see a big orange "C" sticker indicating it's a clearance item. Also, on the back of the box, you'll see that it is for 2011 map update.For those who have a good internet connection, this DVD entitles you to the latest map update. So when doing the installation for the maps, you can choose instead to have the latest 2012 maps installed onto your Garmin. I REPEAT, when doing the dvd setup, you will have the option to either install from dvd or download the LATEST map update. Choose to download the latest map update will give you 2012 maps if they are available.Not a bad deal since a single online map update might cost $50 from Garmin's website. This would be handy for people with older Garmin GPS's who would like a cheap alternative to updating their maps.

Has anyone else noticed that Bank of America doesn't show debit card charges online (and subtract from the available balance) until the charge actually posts? What's interesting is that as soon as the charge is made, the available balance that shows online is reduced by the amount of that charge. Then, the next day, the available balance goes back up to what it would've been and the pending charge disappears from the online account page.This is probably the most egregious attempt I've seen by a bank to get people to overdraft their accounts. In my opinion, it's even more egregious than posting the big charges first.
I know there have been previous discussions related to the marriage penalty tax (no point in discussing this again since it DOES exist at mid-high level income brackets), but I wanted to start a deeper conversation on other financial implications of getting married (both pros and cons). Here's some background info on myself and my "live-in" partner.- CA residents
- AGI 130K me and 90K her
- I own a property in my name (purchased 7 years ago)We did a ceremony about 2 years ago and I didn't bother with the marriage certificate since we were planning to purchase a new property. There was a tax credit at the time and only people who did not own a property qualified (if married, both people could not have owned a property). We didn't end up purchasing a property so I guess there was no benefit there.For taxes, I noticed only about a 1k savings between filing us both filing single vs. married/joint. The only other benefit I noticed was that I could contribute 5k to a Roth IRA for her. If we were married, neither of us would be eligible.For health insurance, both of our companies offer great insurance so getting married does not really benefit us. I know this is a huge benefit if one person does not have insurance or if one persons plan isn't that great.I'm also looking into rental property and noticed that there is no distinction in limits for married vs. single in order to take rental property losses. In other words, you can only deduct a loss if your MAGI is <150k. If we are married, we would be disqualified from this deduction.Now for the benefits of being married. The only one I can think of is if something happens to one of us there would be a lot less paperwork to handle in terms of finances and medical decisions.Are there any other benefits or limitations that I'm missing?

Here is a CNBC article that I think some people here may be interested in reading. To me it seems fairly balanced with none of the usual hysteria and obvious bias that you often see in these types of articles as of late. The article can be found here: http://www.cnbc.com/id/45599691Here are a couple of snippets:
After half a decade of withering sales and slumping prices, there are strong and diverse signs that the single-family housing market is poised for a rebound. In some metropolitan areas, the market has bottomed, with both sales and prices on the rise and foreclosures on the decline. It has become increasingly apparent to us that the pieces for a housing rebound next year are beginning to fall into place, declared Barclays Capital analyst Stephen Kim in a recent note to investors. Proponents admit that the nascent rebound could easily be derailed, but stress that after years of government efforts to support sales and prices as well as the volatile impact of foreclosures, the market has regained a measure of normalcy. With the exception of really hard-hit markets, the vast majority is ready to turn around, adds Jerry Howard, president and CEO of the National Association of Home Builders, NAHB. "The Washington, D.C., area is not only ripe for recovery, they need to start building units.Nevertheless, skeptics overwhelmingly outnumber the optimists, given the false-starts of previous years, the economys sub-par performance, a new wave of distressed properties and the capacity for the European debt crisis to spook business, consumers and investors. I think its premature, says Richard Smith, CEO of Realogy, the nations largest real estate company, whose brands include Century 21, Coldwell Banker and Sotheby's International. We see little indications here and there. Transaction volume is improving. Prices are still under pressure. This isnt going to be one of those spiked robust recoveries. Smith is echoing the conventional industry calculus: that price increases follow sales growth amid consistently strengthening demand. Theres been little conventional, however, about this housing slump, which is one reason it's had so many false bottoms. Among its many firsts housing starts fell through 1 million annual units, foreclosures topped 2 million in three consecutive years, and home prices declined on a national basis. The catalysts to recovery are mostly the same: for potential buyers, residential rents have now risen enough to consider buying; existing-home inventory is the lowest in five years, while that of new homes is at a 40-year low; affordability is at a record high; delinquencies have peaked; consumer confidence is on the rise ; and job growth is accelerating. For investors, with a continuation of the gold rally in question, real estate is beginning to look like a viable inflation hedge alternative, while rising rents mean greater profits. A turnaround in the housing market will require continued improvement in the job market.The economy has created jobs 13 months in a row for a total of almost 1.9 million. Weekly jobless claims have been routinely below the key level of 400,000, and the national jobless rate is down to 8.6 percent. There are already signs in some markets that an improving employment picture is boosting housing demand and sale prices.In cities such as Tampa, Fla., South Bend, Ind., Grand Rapids, Mich., Raleigh, N.C., Wichita, Kan., and Green Bay, Wis.., the median sales price of an existing single family home increased 1-2 percent in the third quarter, during which time the jobless rate and/or payrolls growth improved dramatically. Even in the Cape Coral-Fort Myers, Fla. metropolitan area considered the epicenter of the foreclosure crisis a few years ago prices were just 1.4 percent lower in the third quarter than the previous year.Optimists say most of the uncertainty and fear is gone. The major driver of negative sentiment was that prices were going down across the market by large amounts, says Kim of Barclays. Buyers need to see a stabilization. A contributing element to that is the unwinding of government intervention whether to artificially spur demand as was the case with the first-time buyer tax incentive program of 2009 and 2010 and/or to retard and prevent foreclosures. Many regard those efforts as largely ineffective, if not counter-productive because they delayed the inevitable a deep descent to a market bottom, which has finally been touched.The numbers youre looking at you can trust, says Kim. "There are no exogenous factors. Though tight lending conditions and forthcoming regulations of the Dodd-Frank legislation are still an issue for some, sweeping housing finance reform is off the agenda for at least the next year. Youre back to the natural forces of the market, says Howard of the builders association.

I always have one time use coupons I never use. Sometimes they are just a couple bucks and sometimes they are pretty hefty. Can anyone tell me where I could post these so someone could get some use?Examples of unused onetime codes that expired wiyhout me using lately......Dell 10% extra off a purchase.... One time use.... I had 2 of these that expired recently
Staples $25 off $100 one time use.....i actually had 3 of these the last two weeks that expired.
CVS 25% off.... One time use
And believe it or not 2 $600 travel vouchers for a big airline!!!! They finally expired after 365 days! We couldn't use them and I didn't have anyone that could use them at the time. 
I see people selling codes but I really would just someone to get the use if I can't use them.

Decent price for either Kingston drive with NO REBATE. Deal offers two options:For the "I don't want a cap on my flash drive because I will lose it" crowd:Link to capless drive priced at $7.14For the "I want a drive with no moving parts" crowd:Link to no moving parts drive priced at $6.99You pays your money, you makes your choice. Both drives have free shipping. Both drives are Kingston which is decent quality. There is not enough price difference to make a difference. People will decide depending on a style preference.Me? I prefer the drive with a cap. But it's just MHO.ETABoth drives carry a 5 year Kingston warranty. However:The capless drive is a G2 (generation 2) drive while the no-moving-parts drive is a G3 (generation 3) drive.
I know a lot of people don't like ComputerGeeks since they tend to carry outdated products but they do have some harder to find stuff or just unique (junk) items which may be worth picking up since they have free shipping on almost every item now with no minimum order and no code needed. Cheap cables, case fans, cases and the list goes on, it may be worth checking out if you wanted something small but the shipping had killed the desire to purchase it in the past.

I started a thread last year on Dec. 20th I had received my gift a cool ball Ice cube tray. thread is archived and closed http://www.fullofdeals.com/forums/free-stuff/1057866/
This years gift should be coming soon I went to the ambassador website and logged in just so they would see I did, Could not hurt. http://www.makersmark.com/
I know a lot of people signed up last year but did not get the gift and most people that were already members got theirs.
So I thought I would put this up early and maybe it is not too late for this year for people to sign up.
I have received a gift for the last 4-5 years.
I posted for some advice here about 2 years ago as BofA was screwing my friends and they close my accounts that I had with them for 10 years for trying to help my friend resolve his situation.It finally got resolved and I thought some people would appreciate to know the resolution of this. I hate it when people ask for help and never follow up what happened.I don't know how to update the original thread as I think it is archived or something. Anyone know how I can do that?You can read the original thread here (110 posts!)http://www.fullofdeals.com/forums/finance/956427/Anyway, BofA is the worst bank. Here is to briefly summarize the old post. A bunch of people that are on a summer work visa program in US did their tax returns and got their money back on a single bofa checking account. They called the IRS to ask if IRS is OK with that before doing so. As soon they did that BofA closed the account claiming fraud. Since people were abroad they couldn't do anything as BofA was requesting for all of them to come in person to a BofA bank. There was like 19 of them. No certified letter or phone call could resolve this. They individually called IRS and tried to work with IRS to get the money back to IRS so they could get it via check but no budge from Bofa. IRS was willing to work and help but not BofA!Anyway finally my friend who was the account owner saved up money, was able to get a visa again, went back to US in Maryland this summer. He spent two months going to the same bofa branch and asking them to give him the money that is on his account. After making him go over bunch of weird security steps and him giving them the same paperwork for about 5 times, that he already provided 2 years ago they finally mailed him a cashiers check. He was at the bofa bank branch with IRS on the phone, certified letter for other people and the money has been sitting in the bank for 2 years and they still took two months to give him the money. His Visa almost expired. Unbelievable! My account is still closed as I was trying to help my friend resolve this and provided my contact information as a BofA customer.... I was guilty without the ability to prove that I am innocent and I had nothing to do with that! Go figure.For my friends they learned their lessons, they are just getting their IRS check mailed to them abroad and paying a fee to cash them at a local bank. They should have done this to begin with.Happy Holidays everyone and I hope other people don't get into any kind of similar situation.

Here is the scenario...3.5 years ago I purchased a 4 bedroom house with a buddy (I know, please don't remind me of the poor "well thought out" decision. The initial plan was to both live in the house, and possibly rent out the other 2 bedrooms. We put 2 months of rehab into it, and then right before we were moving in he decided to move in with his girlfriend. About that time we had a buddy move in that paid rent, and then another one moved in so 3/4 of the house was occupied. However, my co-owner kept pressing the issue to rent the 4th bedroom. So 3.5 years of continued discussions and debates, fast forward to December 2011 and now both tenants moved out leaving just me. Now my co-owner insists I find people off craigslist to rent the other rooms to, or pay an additional $500 a month. The economics of the house are everything is split 50/50 and PITI are $2,100. I don't believe I should have to rent out the rooms, or pay anything extra since I would have to deal with the daily hassles of roommates. My co-owner doesn't agree and left me with the option to rent rooms, pay the extra portion for the mortgage, or move-out and rent out the whole house. Our estimate is we could get about $2,000 a month for it, so it would cover our costs. The issue is I don't want to move, I've been here for 3.5 years, and I am over the roommate situation. My co-owner has a place all to himself and doesn't want to move in here. How do you suggest we proceed? Does he have an claims to push roommates on me from CL?It's obviously strained the relationship, and we both have our own motives. I just think having put up with roommates for the last 3.5 years, it's my option to live here on my own, and continue to split everything 50/50.
Gentlepeople,My wife and daughter (adults) are planning to have a vacation trip for 1 week from Buffalo to Dominica.Can someone advise where to start our search...

Great board for a basic build - supports basic OC option.
Pros: Good price point for a basic build. Supported the AMD Phenom II X4 840 (95 watt TDP) out of the box. Good incremental voltage increases for the CPU (1.44 runs the 840 @ 3.8 GHz all day long). Two slots for ram - runs ram @ 1600 8-8-8-24 1T without looking back.Cons: No sideport memory onboard for the onboard 4250 video, so requires used of share memory. Knew that going into it, I'm just saying...4 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you?

They have applied the two discounts to the T3 (They only apply 1 discount to the T3, so the deal is not anywhere near as crazy as this. It's good, but not HOT!) So they are discounting the T3 kit by $250 and haven't tied the discount to the lenses required to get the discount! So what does this mean to YOU? It means that your receipt for the lenses is a clean invoice with zero discounts, and once you have picked up your T3 kit, you can return the lenses to your local Sears store for a full refund, and get the T3 kit for only $217!!!!!!!! Yes, this works. Yes, I've done it. Yes, I expect that Sears will finally catch on after a lot of folks take advantage of their stupidity. So hurry and get in on this deal while you can!My Cart:Canon Lens (EF75-300mm) for All SLR Canon Cameras

For people who do not need the uber-super processing power of i5 or i7 CPU, this is a really nice deal. I know you can get the same cheaper for 799 etc, but none of those are new, either those are refurbished or they are open box items. This is a brand new Macbook Air.

5.0 out of 5 stars An exceptional value, February 11, 2011
By Cindi - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Jessie G. Women's Three-Quarter Down Parka Coat with Removable Hood in Black or Brown (Apparel)
I ordered this coat as an afterthought. Couldn't decide if I really needed another coat, but I didn't have one
that was 3/4 length. On the sub-zero days (or nights) of Wisconsin winters, my legs get cold with my other jacket.
I was looking for a good sale so I could justify the purchase.
Found this one and ordered it. My daughter-in-law has one similar to it from Eddie Bauer that cost a lot more.
I checked Lands End, and LL Bean---they were all more expensive also.
This one is just as stylish, just as warm, and the fit is great!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great coat, March 27, 2011

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Jessie G. Women's Three-Quarter Down Parka Coat with Removable Hood in Black or Brown (Apparel)
I ordered this longer coat to wear at my children's soccer games to try and keep warm and I really love this coat. I normally wear a small (5'1 and I wear a 4) but I ordered a medium so I could wear layers under it and fits good. The material is very soft and the coat is not to puffy. I was pleasantly surprised how much I like this coat!

This is not for everyone but for the right person the deal is GREAT...Purchase $500 in gift cards. The cards can be in any denomination from $25-500.For free you get...
1 $50 gift card
A box (contains 4) knives of their steak knives in a nice wooden looking case. They sell these normally for $85 I believe.Gift cards (both the purchased and bonus) can be used on your next visit. If you have a group of people going it is a great way to save on the bill. If not the $50 bonus and the knives made good gifts.Update: I guess Capital Grille, Red lobster and Olive Garden are all the same company and accept each-other's gift cards. So you could go to CG and buy a ton of $25 GC and use them at Olive Garden and Red Lobster. If you are a frequent visitor to those restaurants then this would be a way to sweeten the deal.
So as we all know coupons.com has a print limit of 2 coupons per computer.If I had 10 computers I could legally print 20 of the same coupons like some people do....but I don't have 10 computers.I am close to figuring out how to legally print more than 2 coupons from coupons.com per computer but I need help.I now have a DSL modem rather than a broadband modem and with a DSL modem I can easily change my IP address by just unpluggling my moden and plugging it back in.So I experimented tonight with 4 steps and got very close to bypassing coupons.com's print limit per computer.Step 1: uninstall coupons.com's print software
Step 2: delete all cookies and browsing history
Step 3: If you have a DSL modem like me....just unplug it and then plug it back in and you will get a new IP address!
Step 4: re-install coupons.com print software.After experimenting for and hour and doing all this I came very close to printing coupons I had already printed. It no longer said:"print limit reached" right off the bat but it said it again after I re-installed coupons.com's printer.I am getting close! I am not a "hacker" by any means but I am computer savvy and know that the problem is coupons.com is hiding some log file on computers keeping track of what coupons are being printed so even when it's uninstalled the tiny little log file stays in some random system folder!I need to know where that log folder is so I can delete it! Again...I am not doing anything illegal...I have every right to install/uninstall apps over and over/I have every right to delete internet cookies/I have every right to unplug my modem and plug it back in...just like people have the right to own 100 computers if they want!Anyway I am computer savvy and there is some system folder that keeps track of coupons printed that I need to find!

I've seen this around a few places recently while researching a recent change to my credit card so I thought I would share my results. I had a BofA Platinum Visa card that was recently "upgraded" without my consent to their Signature flexible account (I forgot their exact terminology). This negatively effected my credit score because the flexible credit cards do not report your credit limit to the credit reporting agencies. So even if I had a 10k actual limit, but I was using $500, it looked like I was using $500 of a $500 limit, thus 100% utilization.I called them and said I want to downgrade my card because it is having a negative impact on my account. The agent said the reporting agencies know about these types of cards and it will not negatively effect my credit score. I told her that it did negatively effect my score and after researching I found that hundreds of other people had the same problem as me. Then she just said "Ok, I will downgrade your card bad to Platinum."I was surprised that I did not get more push back. So if you also were upgraded, you can probably call and get it changed back easily.

So I just found out I am a victim of identity theft and now I need to call these a$$holes to make sure I dont have anything else messed up with my credit report. I have it printed out and everything. Now i just put a fraud alert on my name and I'm trying to reach a LIVE person to talk with to see what else I applied for lately. I called all of these assholes numbers and they all goto an automated system. These guys are totally screwing us over once we get in trouble as there doesnt seem to be an easy way to get to a live person. I mean what the hell are we paying these credit agencies for? Talk about the powers that be.Does anyone have an updated # to reach a live person? From what I notice they change their numbers or system routinely to deter people from reaching them with numbers that get published online.Thanks!

I just bought $100 worth of Amazon GC at safeway and it automatically printed out $10 off 50 safeway Discount coupon at safeway . This was at the Kensington store in MD.Just as a word of precaution: Its a 10 off 50 coupon that you get is redeemable at safeway. It has an expiry date of 1 week from the date of purchase. If you are there to buy groceries anyway, first buy the Amazon GCs in a transaction and then the groceries in second transaction be be able to redeem your coupon. Its not the best deal out there, but its something, specially on Amazon GCs. I did see the safeway deal posted in another thread but it did not mention Amazon GCs - I thought this deserved a thread of its own, lest people miss it.( I am not sure if you can use the 10 off 50 for another purchase of Amazon GCs - I should have tried that ! ) Someone pl post if that works.....
I have been looking for a guitar for a gift in the under $300 range or so for a while and have been disappointed by the Black Friday guitar deals so far. I have tried a number of Epiphone SG/Les Paul, Agiles and have investigated the cheap (under $150) guitars as well. I saw that Sam Ash has the Ibanez AS73 on sale. I went and took a look at one and was very pleased with the quality of the guitar, especially for one made in China. This was easily the best guitar that I have looked at for under $300. These guitars are very well reviewed at their normal $400 price point. Sam Ash has it for $259.99 with limited quantities available. You should be able to pricematch this at MusiciansFriend or music123 for $247.99 delivered.
Ibanez AS73 at Sam AshAdditionally, MusiciansFriend has the AF75 on sale at $249.99 to pricematch at music123. Technically this model is the AF75D (D indicates the orange finish, why D indicates orange, who knows) but both MusiciansFriend and music123 label it as the AF75 so it shouldn't be a problem to pricematch.Ibanez AF75 at MusiciansfriendI hope this helps some people looking for guitars for Christmas.

This year the codes will be given out randomly, no quiz. The post is a little light on the details of how it'll happen, but it states "We will allow people to try for the prize as many times as they'd like", which implies to me refreshing the page throughout the day in some manner. I'm sure we'll get more details as the day approaches.Here's the post announcing it:link

Hi all,Wondering what is the most effective way to benefit the truly needy as the holidays come along. Salvation Army? Third world development? Ect. I'm trying to be more intentional about giving - being that my impression is that people are more likely not to give these days and helping organizations are cash strapped (more than normal). No need to boast here. But where do you like to give? What do you think works?Thanks.

I just want people's input on this. Please dont red me, Im just seeking input or ideas.I am planning to go my home country next month. I recently purchased a property there.Question:
I wired $70K recently and got a horrible exchange rate. Now for the remaining $70K, I am thinking of carrying it with me. By doing so, I will save $2K in exchange rates. I know its most likely not advisable to do so, but would anyone here in this forum carry $70K cash on a 20 hour flight to save $2K?Is it unsafe? Yes, possibly. I have once carried $20K cash before and it was fine. I know most likely I would just wire the money, just seeking ideas.
Please dont suggest all those remit2India etc, as I am not from India. (and for my country, the rates arent that great). When you bring cash to a money changer in my country, they offer fantastic exchange rates.Is it legal to bring out that much amount: yes. Is it legal to bring in that much into my country: yes.FYI: $70K = 700 $100 bills. 350 pieces on one pocket and 350 in the other. Jeans.
First time to post, sorry if I missed anything:http://www.amazon.com/Kingston-SandForce-Technology-SH100S3B-240...no shipping and tax for most people.
rebate valid from 11/25/11 to 11/28/11.Enjoy
Just a heads up... when in Kohl's today, the cashier asked if I was using my Kohl's card and I asked if they were running a discount promotion.
She said not advertised but they've been permitted to manually enter a 15% discount at the register.She made it sound like this is something that had been communicated for a short time only. Maybe to counter the 10% discover Cash Back, to keep people using Kohl's charge?Anyhow, I know it's YMMV but it's worth a shot if you're there anyway!

WiFi memory cards are not cheap and not for everyone because of the cost.
They do work great for certain types of photographers. The new X2 cards let you download photos from your camera directly to your Android or Apple smartphone or tablet so you can upload them to the internet from anywhere that you have a cell connection. That's perfect for journalists or bloggers who are afraid that your camera and prize photos will get confiscated or destroyed by the authorities (wherever you are in the world).These cards are also great if you're photographing people in a studio and want to instantly review your photos on your large tablet computer or laptop. No need to hook up wires; the photos are transferred and displayed wirelessly and immediately.These cards were recently selling on Amazon for $40 to $50. Price dropped to $29.99 today. Good chance that it will sell out at this price.http://www.amazon.com/dp/B003DV4234
Retails for $700.LinkyThis is the full version, for people that don't have an older version to upgrade from.Happy Thanksgiving everybody.
Sony BDV-E280 3D Blu-ray Disc Home Theater System. $199 Newegg w/Free ShipOk, its like $197 after FW CB, but as much as people scoffed at the Newegg pre-BF just released, this seemed to be a pretty good deal on a home theater. Not only is it one of the lowest price points into 3D in a home theater system, but it also has 2 HDMI input ports and support a pretty wide range of formats on the USB as well. Audio gets pretty good reviews too, so pretty solid system for $199 when you compare it to the other theater deals. Not smokin hot perhaps, but hot enough for me to pull the trigger and check off the home theater from my list.Linky
Just noticed this when looking at the 'customers also bought' listing so I'm not sure if this is Black Friday pricing or just run of the mill discount. It's only 2x 2GB, but some people run 32bit OS and don't need more.$14.99 after $10 mail-in rebate

So, for any fellow phone dorks out there like me, I just found via XDA Developers that the HTC Rezound battery, which is a stock 1620 mah (vs the 1400 in a stock TBolt battery) fits in the Thunderbolt w/o a new battery cover needed.Same "size" battery but with a little more juice.DO NOT LOG INTO your VZW account it seems to work all the time if you do NOT log into the account. Go here: Linky Doo shows as 39.99 but once you click "add to cart" it should show up as 19.99People over at XDA seem to have an issue getting the price if they log into their account first, but it seems to work if you don't log in. Worked for me for 19.99 w/o logging in, free shipping, just a little state sales tax (boo) and on its way to me.If you can't get it to come up at 19.99 maybe try clearing cookies as is suggested over at XDA.good luck and happy juice!
Frys has the Hitachi Touro 3TB external hard drive for $129. other deals have had it for ~$110 but none currently.

Savings Center : New Lower Prices The CSR looked a bit surprised, thinking I meant the "Island" grill but happily took the last floor model once she realized the price reduction.It's available online for In-Store pick up! IMHO, it looks much sturdier than the Brinkmann Black Friday $149 deal. So, why wait? Just added YMMV to the title, since some people are seeing $199. The in-store CSR thought it was $199 also, until she watched the cashier ring up $99. Then she claimed one for herself.

A few weeks ago, a(nother) major financial company -- MF Global -- went bankrupt. When the bankruptcy was announced, its customers found that at least $600 million of the money they had deposited with the firm had disappeared. Customers' money was supposed to have been completely segregated from money owned by the firm, but now phrases like "poor accounting", "lack of internal control", etc are being bandied about. All sorts of folks who were supposed to be accounting and regulating are looking at their shoes, examining their bow ties, checking for spots on the wall and generally hoping that nobody digs too deep into the mess. Jon Corzine, former Governor of New Jersey (the most honest state in the nation!) and US Senator, and head of MF Global has not been arrested. Thousands of customers are still trying to get their money back. That is the background, now on to the real question:Many people use the CurrencyShares Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) to invest in foreign currencies. Each share is intended to represent 100 units of currency -- 1 share of FXA represents 100 Australian dollars, 1 share of FXE represents 100 Euro, etc. I expect that most people are OK with the currency risk, but don't expect any counterparty risk. The CurrencyShares ETFs are organized as trusts which are held by JP Morgan Chase. The CurrencyShares prospectus for FXA includes the following text:If the Depository becomes insolvent, its assets might not be adequate to satisfy a claim by the Trust or any Authorized
Participant. In addition, in the event of the insolvency of the Depository or the U.S. bank of which it is a branch, there may be
a delay and costs incurred in recovering the Australian Dollars held in the Deposit Accounts.as well asShareholders do not have the protections associated with ownership of a demand deposit account insured in the United States
by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation nor the protection provided for bank deposits under English law.Does anyone with a legal background know what would happen to these shares if JP Morgan were to go the same direction as MF Global? Obviously, the FDIC would pay for FDIC insured accounts at Chase... but would they seize assets like those in the trust to minimize the harm to the taxpayer? Similarly, what would happen if the assets went "missing" through some feat of accounting magic?

Classic Tobacco Sunburst Finish "INFORMATION FROM WMS (the seller) as posted on SD:"(disclosure: I work for WMS) For clarification purposes I am posting the following:1) these are the Light version. The difference between the pro and pro light is only in the body weight / thickness, and also that the light version is a close out. Washburns reason was there was too many models in the line and they are thinning it down. standards, standard light, deluxe, pro, pro light, win14, etc... then the same thing in WI, WMI, and WIM was just too many models. Speaking on the phone with the Washburn Rep today, I made absolutely sure I was 100% accurate... The Pro Light and the Pro are 100% identical except the Pro has a thicker body and is a bit heavier. I said to him... you know people will ask how thick, and what is the measurment difference. He said there is no spec on that because you could measure the thickness in countless places and get countless different measurments, but the difference he said was not that big a deal, and thus why they are thinnig down the line. 2) We wanted to use that factory image even though it was not a light version, but we put this up after washburn closed and did not want to post an image if there was a possibility of there being any form of difference. The sales manager finally called us back this morning and said that using that image is fine because you are only looking at the front. the images on our site were taken quick to get on the site as quick as possible. You are correct, the image on our site does not doit justice. We have a really nice camera that decided to stop working a couple days ago. Jason ""(I work for WMS.) Please allow me to correct. The pic is not wrong. There is a WIN model [4 knobs] and then there is a WMI model [2 knobs which is another model] this has 4 knobs and is a WIN PRO LIGHT. The PRO has a thick body and the PRO LIGHT is not as thick. See why it is a close out? Too many guitars that are too similar to each other, so they are thinning down their model offering.Jason "THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE A CASE.

I love fatwallet and following the advice really helped my wallet become thick. Literally too, by increasing the number of cards I carry in my wallet.
I pay all of them in full, so I am not complaining about that. But 'optimization of CashBack' that I learnt from fatwallet that is driving the number of cards up.
I still carry 1. the 5% gas groceries card from HSBC(still working, don't know for how long).
2. the 2% fidelity AMEX that use for most of my purchases (recent replacement for 2% charles schwab cardRIP)
3. the chase freedomcard to get the 5% occssional categories.
4. discover card for the 5% occassional categories.This is in addition to the cards that I carry (probably nothing to do with FW)1. company's corporate card for travel
2. costco AMEX + membership card
3. AAA card (not credit card)
4. other cards I gave up on are different loyality cards.and unavidable IDs (license, health insurance etc).Now you know why my wallet is fat.
I am starting this tread to learn how what strategies people are using to reduce the number of cards in your wallet. Pros and Cons.
LinkThis is the current GoldBox Lightening Deal. 36% claimed right now, ~2hrs left. Yes, I know some places have had $100gc recently, but Amazon doesn't charge tax for many people so factor that in and could be a better deal.
Some interesting numbers on this article. Did you know that... 50. From 1948 until 2007, the average duration of unemployment was 13.5 weeks. Today, it's 40.5 weeks.49. In 1982, a 30-year mortgage carried an interest rate of 17.6%. Today, it's 4.1%. On a $250,000 loan, that's the difference between a monthly payment of $3,686 versus $1,210.48. In 2000, 69% of businesses offered workers health insurance. By 2009, just 60% did, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation.47. In 1952, corporate taxes were 6.1% of GDP, and employment taxes were 1.8% of GDP. In 2009, corporate taxes were 1% of GDP, and employment taxes were 6.3% of GDP.46. The day after Standard & Poor's downgraded U.S. Treasuries was the second best day for Treasuries in modern history.45. "Just 1 in 7 U.S. workers is of normal weight without a chronic health problem," according to The Wall Street Journal, citing Gallup data.44. Adjusted for inflation, nationwide home prices have dropped 8.5% since 1979. Unrelated: 60% of homeowners say a major reason they bought a home is because they think it will make a good retirement investment.43. The markup AT&T (NYSE: T ) charges for a single text message ($0.20) compared with a standard mobile data package ($25 for 2 gigs) is roughly 10 million percent.42. Tax evasion has added an estimated $3 trillion to the national debt over the past decade, according to David Callahan of Demos, citing Internal Revenue Service data.41. According to The Wall Street Journal, "every year 17,000 American-trained masters and doctoral students leave the U.S. to find work elsewhere."40. Over the past 25 years, college tuition has increased at nearly four times the rate of broader inflation.39. Health care for an average family now runs $19,393 a year, according to the Milliman Medical Index. It was about half that much in 2002.38. Power to the people! According to The Los Angeles Times: "Some 75% of respondents said they were following the [California] budget debate, yet only 16% were aware that state spending has shrunk by billions of dollars over the last three years."37. California will spend $5.7 billion on its main public universities this year, and $9.6 billion on prisons, according to The Bay Citizen.36. The labor force participation rate for men has dropped from 87% in 1948 to 71% today. 35. The personal savings rate in August was 4.5%. Since 1959, it has averaged 7%. Returning to that level would divert more than $200 billion a year from consumer spending into saving.34. 5.5 million Americans are unemployed and not receiving unemployment benefits. Last year, that number was 1.4 million.33. The U.S. government provides health care for a minority of its population (elderly and poor) at a greater cost per citizen than many European countries spend on universal coverage.32. As a percentage of GDP, federal taxes in 2010 were the lowest since 1950.31. Between 2007 and 2009, those with a bachelor's degree saw the employment-to-population ratio fall by just 0.5%. For those without a bachelor's degree, it fell by more than 2%.30. Household debt payments as a percentage of income are now at the lowest level since 1994.29. Despite record federal deficits, total debt throughout the economy -- public plus private -- as a percentage of GDP has been dropping since 2008. Households are shedding debt faster than the government can go into it.28. Just not student debt: Total student loans outstanding are expected to reach $1 trillion this year. The average student now leaves college with nearly $23,000 of debt. As Time pointed out, "Students today are borrowing double the amount they did ten years ago -- after adjusting for inflation.27. Total state and local pension shortfalls now equal $4.4 trillion, according to State Budget Solutions.26. In 2000, interest payments on the national debt totaled $222 billion. By 2009, the debt had more than doubled, but interest payments were $186 billion. Lower interest rates have saved taxpayers trillions of dollars.25. According to The New York Times, only 23% of Americans benefit from the mortgage interest tax deduction, yet 93% support it.24. For every $1,000 decline in home values, Americans reduce spending by $20 to $70 a year, according to the Congressional Budget Office.23. Without mortgage equity withdrawal -- people using their homes as ATMs -- the U.S. economy would have been in recession for most of the 2001-2006 period.22. The percentage of Americans covered by health insurance fell from 86.9% in 2000 to 83.7% in 2010. It has declined in eight of the past 10 years.21. Nationwide real estate values have declined by about $7 trillion since 2006.20. CEOs of S&P 500 companies are entitled to receive an average of $22 million upon being fired, according to GMI. "In total, it would cost shareholders $10.8 billion to fire the CEOs of all of the companies in the S&P 500," it writes.19. One percent of households captured 52% of all income gains from 1993-2008.18. Just 400 people earned 10% of all capital gains in 2007. Between 2000 and 2007, the top 400 taxpayers captured about 2% of all economic growth.17. People spend their money on different sets of goods and services. The richest 10% of Americans had an inflation rate that was about 6% higher than the bottom 10% between 1994 and 2005.16. According to former White House budget advisor Peter Orszag: "In 1990, about 63 percent of business income in the U.S. took the form of wages and other types of labor compensation. ... By 2005, that figure had dropped to 61 percent. And by the middle of this year, it had fallen to 58 percent. ... The difference from 1990 to today -- about 5 percentage points or so of private-sector income -- amounts to more than $500 billion a year."15. Private jobs growth over the past two years has been faster than it was from 2001-2003. Public job losses have been a major factor in our current jobs crisis.14. If federal, state, and local governments hadn't been slashing jobs since 2009, today's unemployment rate would be nearly a full percentage point lower.13. The White House -- famously optimistic throughout all administrations -- forecasts that the unemployment rate won't return to pre-recession levels until 2016.12. According to the National Review, "[General Motors (NYSE: GM ) ] has 96,000 employees but provides health benefits to a million people."11. While gold hit record highs this summer, the yield on Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities, or TIPS, implied a forecast of near record low inflation.10. According to author Matt Ridley, it took an average person 4,700 hours of work to afford a Ford (NYSE: F ) Model T in 1908. Today, it takes an average person 1,000 hours of work to afford an ordinary car.9. Adjusted for inflation, the first Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL ) Macintosh cost $5,440. Today's iPad costs $500, and is outrageously more advanced.8. About half of all Tweets are derived from 20,000 people -- or just 0.05% of Twitter members.7. UBS estimates that illegal lending in China amounts to $630 billion a year, or about 10% of the country's gross domestic product.6. Only 2.7% of what Americans spend their money on are goods and services from China. 88.5% is on American-made goods and services.5. Cash flow among S&P 500 companies set a new all-time record last year, at $1.2 trillion.4. Between dividends and buybacks, S&P 500 companies returned $4.3 trillion to shareholders from 2003 to 2010.3. According to the Hedge Fund Research index, hedge funds as a group returned 19.6% between March 2009 and May 2011. Broad stock market indexes in the developed world returned 114% during that period.2. Food prices invariably come up when people talk about inflation. But average disposable income has risen twice as fast as food prices over the past 50 years. There's been fairly steady food deflation over time.1. America is still by far the largest economy in the world, nearly three times the size of China's or Japan's economy, and nearly five times the size of Germany's. We have the best schools, the deepest financial system, the most advanced innovation, and the brightest entrepreneurs.50 Amazing Numbers About the Economy
Hi, one of my friends has a kind of a situation and I wanted to ask the experts for their opinion if anything can be done.
My friend bought his house in NJ a few years ago for 720k by putting 20% down and has been paying down his mortgage fine since then. The current principle is around 570k and current mortgage is at 5.375% which is to reset in 2015. The current monthly payment is 5k which includes mortgage and property tax escrow. The value of the house is about 550k (with some planned upgrades it was appraised for 600k)
He has been paying the mortgage on time, never late and can afford to pay the mortgage (even when 5k monthly payment is a little too much and he would like to get that reduced if possible) so that is not really a problem. He also like the house and plans to live there for the foreseeable future. The problem is even with the current economic scenario with historically low interest rates, he is not able to refinance because of LTV. He will have to put almost 100k to the table to bring the LTV down, which he does not want to do at this moment.
My question for folks around here is if there is any suggestions for him. What would you do in this scenario. He is not complaining but just curious if there is some HARP which applies to people like him so he can get advantage of the lower rates. Thanks to all

I have been going through the forums to see how people reduce their gross income on tax forms. Didn't find anything applicable. We are a two-income family salaried jobs in large corporations. Once we deduct our 401k and a few other miscellaneous items from the gross income, the AGI still remains high such that we cannot even deduct anything. I went through the 1040 forms and checked every line item to reduce gross income. For the valid ones such as tuition expense, we dont qualify also. We dont have a business. Our expenses our high (two kids) but none of them are deductible or are very limited in nature (such as 5k towards dependent care). Just want to know what do the FW members do about reducing the tax. Would be great if you could share some ideas?

In the original HARP plan, many homeowners were unable to refi due to the restriction of PMI-mortgage insurance. If you have any PMI on your property, lenders can flat disqualify you based on that alone.From what I have read on the new revisions, owner paid PMI may be accepted now. But lender paid mortgage insurance will still disqualify you. I have spoken to Bank of America and QuickenLoans to confirm this.So basically, any borrower who put down less than 20% at the loan's origination is out of luck- unless they can pay the principal down to 80% LTV. At the current home values, this move would be financial suicide for most people. The problem here involves more than the lenders. It seems that unless the rules for the mortgage insurance companies are revised, the HARP revision is just a slightly larger bandaid for a wound that requires a tourniquet.
Don't know how great of a deal this is as I posted this also in Deal Discussion to find out if this was a good value/quality but thought I would also post it here in case people feel it's a Hot Deal.AblePlanet's Award Winning Noise-Canceling Headphones Online DealFull information can be found on the company's site here.Cnet review here.
We are looking at buying my wife's new car from a dealer in Georgia using the PenFed buying service, since I can't find any dealer around here that has exactly what we(she) wants and the "no-haggle" price is matching up to some of the better deals I have read people were getting after haggling. I am under the impression I will pay no taxes in Georgia at the time of purchase and must pay all taxes in AL when I register the vehicle. However, I have read horror stories of dealerships claiming to collect the tax and then send to the state prior to your registration. Of course, they never follow through and it is essentially a money grab from the dealer, so you end up getting double-taxed.Has anyone else specifically purchased a new vehicle from GA and registered it in another state. Did you pay any taxes to the GA dealer? I know some states have reciprocity and it will vary, but I just want to get all the info I can. I have not been able to come across a GA tax document yet that answers my question. TIA

I just saw on CAG that people are reporting this game listed for $40 at some walmarts. Other have it listed at full price but rings up at $40 when scanned. This has been reported at Walmarts all across the country so this is not a regional deal. They've even posted receipt scans. This is for both PS3 and Xbox360It's still listed at full price on WalMart.com and there have been a few people saying it didn't work in-stores so put the YMMV tag on there.

There are several threads floating around regarding gift cards and gift card use. I haven't found a thread that gathers gift card best practices. Gift cards can be a useful way to preload spending to 'store' Cash Back.Here is my collection of experiences using gift cards, some gleened from FWF and some from my own experiences. At any given time I'll have 1-10 active gift cards.Gift cards are a big business, with many stores that carry a wide array of cards that are retail branded to a particular chain. Retail branded cards typically don't have fee attached to them. most stores also have a collection of pre-paid credit cards that come in a variety of loads from $25 to $100. A few lucky FWFer will find the variable load cards from AM3X, Visa, and Mastercard that can be loaded from $25 to $500, with a loading fee of $5.95. Visa also has a Vanilla brand of variable load card, but I am not familiar with it. Some cashiers are uncomfortable selling hundreds or thousands of dollars in cards when their typical totals are for a few hundred dollars of groceries. They are just doing there jobs when they refuse to sell gift cards to you, don't make a big deal, find another store or come back after you've shaved and covered your prison tats.Most people are able to purchase gift cards with credit cards to meet minimum spend or for rewards arbitrage when the Cash Back stars are in alignment. On top of credit card rewards many drug stores and grocery stores have valuable rewards programs that often offer 2x rewards on cards and sometimes 4x rewards. These are powerful incentives meant to cause you to change your behavior. Gift card issuers are counting on many people losing or not using these cards, don't be that guy.In the opinion of many Amazon cards are the best branded cards available. With the right Cash Back incentives 5% discounted Amazon cards are easy, but 10-15% or more are possible. There is not much that cannot be purchased from Amazon, and in a pinch you could probably exchange an Amazon gift card for Craigslist personal services. When the Cash Back stars align forecast Amazon needs and buy appropriately.The next best cards are the Visa, MasterCard and AM3X variable load gift cards. If Cash Back rewards exceed 1.22% these cards can be useful for CashBack arbitrage. Use them like credit cards for everyday spending, bills, payment services, and most conveniently paying taxes, or property taxes. When Cash Back gets large enough even high fee services like ChargeSmart become useful.
-Some tax payment services recognize the Visa variable load card as a debit card, thus incurring a nominal $3.95 fee for $500 versus the usual ~2%
-Some utility payment services charge a nominal fee, many allow significant overpayment to cover multiple months. Some have reported being able to call the utility and request a refund check, YMMV.
-For everyday spending for disposable items charge away, food, groceries, gas are typical items that don't need buyer protection. For big purchases that you need buyer protection, suck it up and use your card directly. From my experience AM3X buyer protection is second to none.
-To get cash, I always keep a card handy when dining with others that way I collect my friends cash, buy with variable load Visa and arbitrage the Cash Back difference.Pitfalls:
-Don't ever lose one, its like losing cash, one lost $500 card can ruin months of Cash Back gains.
-Some card issuers don't like to see too many GC purchases, read FWF threads to find out which, and how much may be tolerated before AA occurs.
-Keeping tabs on spending is sometimes a pain, theres simply no automated way to do it.
-Having a wallet brimming with gift cards is literally a pain in the ass.
-Turning gift cards into cash is a pain.
-Excessive gift card charges are great ways for getting your account shut down.Tips to avoid catastrophe I you do lose one:
-take a high res picture front and back of each card, that way if its lost you can still use the numbers and security code for online purchases.
-Don't bother calling the 'if lost' number on the back, they will just say, 'its like cash, so sorry'
Tips for draining cards down to the last drop:
-Most grocery stores will let you use your $.24 cent card as a partial payment at checkout.
-Some gas pumps will let you drain the last few cents.
-Square card reader us useful for getting rid of the last few dollars, small ~2% fee is worth it to claim the last few dollars. Unfortunately it won't let you charge less than $1. Some companies don't like giving rewards on gift card purchases and will deny rewards on obvious GC purchases. If this is the case try varying up the spending-- $100 in a drug store purchase is obvious, throw in a $15 itunes card and a can of Red Bull. Also experiment with the proper variable load amounts you don't always have to charge the max $500.One final bonus, on rare occasions, if you use variable load cards enough you will find about 1 in 20 finish with a total higher than $500. Most I've ever experienced is $512 on a $500, don't know how, why I just figured I'd won the gift card lottery.Credit card rewards are a tempting lure to change behaviours (10% Cash Back are you kidding me). When done properly and moderately gift card purchase are a nice addition to a well balanced Cash Back diet. These companies want you to be just dumb enough with overspending, losing/not using gift cards and maintaining a balance for them to break even. When done to excess they are great screening tools for credit card companies to identify fraud, poor credit risks, and deadbeats.
Please share experiences, successes and legitimate (non-ch#rn) strategies.
Hi all,I just placed an order with LetsTalk for a new cell phone and plan and they had me call them to verify my identity. They asked the standard questions you would be asked if you were applying for a new bank account, trying to get your credit report, applying for a credit card, or buying a house. You know, the big ticket items that would really screw over people if someone stole your identity. They asked things about my past, like where I lived, grew up, mortgages, etc. What I'm wondering is, is LetsTalk way too anal about identity theft? What are others experience when it comes to certain companies asking too much personal information? Do you think LetsTalk is within their rights to ask for these things to verify your identity? Couldn't they just have the credit card company verify the card wasn't stolen and be happy? Will we someday be asked the name of our dog when we were 3 years old anytime we try to buy a hamburger at McDonalds? I only ask because if I didn't know so much about LetsTalk (partnered with WalMart, has a lot of good reviews, part of the BBB, I called them back at their number on their website), I wouldn't know any better and might give out my personal info to a scammer. How would I normally know if I could trust a company asking for this much information?
This is my first post here, but I figured maybe I could get a little advice.About 2.5 months ago, I made a deposit at Bank of America. The teller told me that I should upgrade my card from the Signature World Points Visa to their new 1/2/3% Signature Cash Rewards Visa. She told me to do so, I needed to call the number on my card and request and upgrade. That same night, I called and requested this. I had some concerns with my points transferring over. I had about 10,000 unused points and another 4,500 points that were pending. I cashed out the 10,000 points, but could not do anything with the 4,500 until the billing cycle ended. While on the phone with the representative, I asked specifically what would happen to these points and he told me they would be converted when I activated the new card. It seemed like a pretty simple and straight forward process.... or so I thought.About 2 weeks later, I receive a new card in the mail. I activate it and start using it. Later that afternoon I just happened to glance at the back of the card and saw "World Points Visa" on the back. I called the 1800 number and found out my account and several others had been compromised and they send me a new card. At that point I asked about my new Cash Back card. The representative told me the card was post-poned and the new card should be sent out on September first (apparently they do this in batches several times a month). On September 7th, I called because I had not received my new card. The person I talked to told me it normally takes 7 days, and with the holiday, it may take a couple of extra days. I waited....Around September 20th I called again because I had still not received the card. At this point, I was a bit frustrated and requested to speak to a manager right off. He apologized and told me he would send a new card out next day air and I should receive it within 1-2 days and if I received the card that SHOULD have been sent on September 1st, to shred the one he was sending.. On September 1st my account started to show it was converted to the Cash Rewards card, even though I had not received the new card. I questioned the manager about this, and about my 4,500 points that I was no longer able to view, and that had never been released for me to use. He told me he would make a note on my account to make sure those points converted over when I activated the new card. So... I waited once again.The next day I received a Cash Rewards card in the mail and called to activate it. I asked the person who activated the card about the points transferring over to the new card and she said it would take about 3 days from talking to her for it to take place. The next day, I received the next day delivery of the card that was requested the day before, so I shredded it. The number was the same as the card I already activated. So, I waited...So, if you haven't gotten the general idea of the story, I was told my points should transfer over, and they haven't.On October 2nd I called and asked about my points and why they were not yet on my account. The representative I talked to was pretty quick to tell me, once you change over to a cash rewards card, your previous points are forfeited. This caught me off guard since I had asked several times about these points. They told me they would open a case to have this researched.I called yesterday to find out the status of my case. It was closed and no notes were added to the case. They are opening a new case...My question is, is there a number I can call to talk to somebody who can actually help me? I know most people here recommend using a credit union and I am very tempted to move at this point. I know it is only 4,500 points, but it is now on principal. I don't want to cancel the card I have, since it has a $20,000 limit on it. I am just frustrated and wanted to vent. If anybody has any advice, I am more then willing to listen!

The great Fiio E9 Headphone Amp has been on Amazon off and on for the unheard of price of $28 with free shipping. I ordered one the other day but many people have said this was a price mistake and orders have been cancelled. However, some people have in fact received the E9. Well, it is on sale again: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004M172FY/ref=sc_pgp__m_A2XYID...This time I did what some people have done and paid $20 for overnight shipping. Many people that have done this have in fact received the E9. Even at the total price of $48, it is still a huge bargain. Who knows, I may get one from my original order and the one I just ordered as well. If so, one will be for sale!
Since I hope most folks have done their refinance by now, I was curious what people did with their otherwise mortgage payment during that first month where you have no payment because the interest is calculating to the next month.Here are the choices, I think.1) Apply 'normal' payment to principal reduction
2) Sock it away in savings for emergency fund (no/low risk)
3) Invest in some sort of uninsured security (stock/bond) (med/high risk)
4) Spending money (Hot Deals or other options)
5) Payoff other unsecured credit
6) Use it to paydown other secured credit
7) Did not get 'grace' month due to closing dateRasheed

I'm really wondering, how does any average working family afford daycare when they decide to have kids, it just seems impossible.Me and my wife are in our early thirties, and we are average middle class people. We make roughly the average middle class household income. We own a typical middle class 3 bedroom home. We are not rich at all but much better off than most people I know simply because we make enough to actually have a little emergency fund, and not be living paycheck to paycheck, and have zero debt other than the mortgage. I'd think we were in a lot better position to start having kids than most people, yet the cost of daycare seems like it would make it impossible.While I'm sure we can afford the food, diapers, toys, etc. I just don't see how we (or any other average middle class person), can afford those ridiculous daycare costs, which I hear are $600-$2000. If my wife quit work to be a stay at home mom, there is no way I could support the entire family and pay the whole mortgage on just my single income. At the same time, with both of us working there is just absolutely no way we have an extra $600-$2000 dollars for daycare. Plus the struggle of even getting the kids there, I leave the house at 5am and don't get back till 5pm. I'm pretty positive we would not qualify for any sort of assistance or welfare or anything because I make way too much to qualify (yet still not enough to support an entire family). Seems quite unfair that all these people too lazy to work, can just pop out all the kids they want and have welfare pay for all their needs, yet a responsible hardworking guy like me who works hard for that middle range salary, yet has a mortgage to pay is generally told he makes too much. We actually budget our money way better than most, thus there is really no place to cut back, for example I do all our auto repairs, home repairs, we do not have cable TV, do not eat out, buy most groceries on sale, do our own haircuts, etc.Want to have kids soon, but just don't see how its possible to pay those absurd daycare prices? Any advice?
I'm trying to get some outside the box ideas of how I can creatively refinance these 2 houses to be the most financially beneficial.
Heres the detailsMy primary house. Owe about 235K. Interest rate is 5%, FHA mortgage. Was purchased for $260K a few years ago, but has fallen in price and is most likely worth around $200K, so underwater. Mortgage payment is around $1760, which includes around $116 a month in PMI which will stay until the balance gets below 202K AND 2 more years have passed (seemes there is a dirty little secret in the fine print that you must pay it for at least 5 years, even if you pay the balance down)My secondary house. I inherited this house. Recently appraised for $130K, and I own it outright. I was hoping to rent it out, but have been struggling to find good tenants, because it seems to be in a very bad market for rentals (located way out in the middle of nowhere, far from most jobs and conveniences. Its in a place that seems comprised of primarily retired people who buy low cost houses to live out the rest of their days on retirement, not so much where working people with income like to live, and commute to work from). So there is a chance I may sell this house next year if renting doesn't go well, but either way there is around $130 in equity to play with.Any ideas for the best ways to juggle this around? Originally I thought just borrow a little off the second house with a home equity loan to apply to the first and get rid of PMI. The cost of the home equity payments would be only a little more than PMI, but then I found out I can't even get rid of pmi for 2 more years anyways. Now I'm thinking, maybe get a much larger home equity loan off the second house, apply that money to the first house, and refinance the first house to a traditional mortgage, and hopefully both get rid of PMI, and also maybe get the interest rate down, maybe from 5% to 4% if possible. The hope is the cost of the loan on the second house will be mostly offset by the reduction in cost of the cheaper mortgage on the first house. Hopefully sort of breaking even on monthly expenses, but saving overall via more money goind directly into equity, rather than pmi, and as much interest.Perhaps there are some other ideas? Whatever I do, I can't have the monthly costs between both houses go much higher than my regular mortgage.
I just picked up two cases of Zico Premium Coconut water at the Livonia-East, Michigan Costco location for $9.99 a piece. This is the cheapest that I've ever seen it. I paid $16.99 per case last time. The same product is currently $25.31 ($21.51 subscribe and save) at Amazon. Ironically, that's the highest price I've ever seen at Amazon.Anyway, this is a fantastic deal for coconut water. A lot of people seem to not like it in the plastic bottles according the Amazon reviews, but I suppose it's a matter of taste. From my experience, people either think that coconut water is a gift from God, or they would rather drink their own vomit regardless of the type of container it comes in. There seems to be no in between.I have no idea if this would be YMMV, so take precaution. If you do find it at this price and like the product, it certainly provides a good opportunity to load up.
I find myself not being able to get all my FWF to-do stuff done given how much I work, so I've been doing some research on this topic and it seems it's in the 5-10 hour range for people depending on genetics. I seem to get up naturally around the 7-7.5 hour mark (5 cycles) but the past few weeks I've been doing a 6 hour alarm clock sleep (4 cycles) and although I need some more coffee/redline to get going, I get quite a bit of extra time. I've also read that while not enough sleep has detrimental effects sleeping too much is also bad (sluggishness + shorter lifespan).Anyone have any anecdotal info on this or something I may not have picked up on google? Need more time in my day to make $$.

Hello,
I just wanted to post a recent spate of bank scams that are making waves recently. This looks like organized crime and the thieves are at-large and yet are getting away scott-free each time. I was hoping the fatwallet community would have ideas to nab or report these criminals. Details/symptoms of the crime/frauds committed below:-a) People get a 1cent deduction from via a 'check' or an ACH debited to 'CC Global" or some other bogus authorization memo that people do not authorize.
b) When calling the number listed on the 'check' or ACH, someone picks up saying they are a verification company and the deduction was done for an internet purchase online
c) When pushed for details, they pretend that this purchase was "adult-entertainment based" so that the caller will not follow-up/verify. However, they wont give any details of the actual transaction
d) Within 12-15 days, this company then withdraws $29.95/- from the original account. This amount is small enough that people dont notice. 100's of people have been affected, and similar thousands are possibly affected - they just possibly dont notice it on their statements.Note that this CC Global is a sham company that is pretending to be an internet verification agent. This is organized crime. They have many 1800 phone numbers and websites to pretend they are a legitimate service. The address listed on the debit/check is fake, thus leading me to believe this isnt through checks being stolen, but actual account details being compromised on the internet. When one calls the 1-800 number, the person asks for the memo line number and tries to convince you that this is legit because it is from an site. Banks say cant do much to protect consumers, except closing the account. They say that as long as someone matches the account number and name, an ACH debit, or a check clearance happens. All they recommend is to close the current account and open a new account. Wish there was a way to pursue this further and bring these criminals to justice. Anyone have any ideas?Here are links to this crime online:-

I've got two sedans:
1. Toyota Camry 2008, 30k Miles, purchased new.
2. Nissan Altima 2000, 108k miles. Purchased in 2006 for $5k. Working in perfect order.We don't drive much - but still need two cars. Ideally - I would have liked to have 1 minivan (to haul family/friends around) and 1 sedan (when driving alone or with less people).My initial intent was to try to drive both the cars to the ground. The Nissan probably has another 10/15 year, 100k miles worth of life left in it. The Camry is probably good for another 20 years. However, with two kids - a sedan often becomes too small. This shows up specially when people are visiting us or we need to haul stuff from our big bi-weekly shopping trip (the trunk space is almost completely filled with baby gear).Safety is a major concern. I'm not thinking of SUVs since they have high center of gravity and hence a higher rollover risk - making them inherently less safe than sedans and minivans. Electronic stability control, anti lock brakes, side airbags etc are also very important to me.I don't have much liquid assets beyond my 6 month emergency savings (rest is in investments that I don't intend to liquidate any time in the near future) - so will probably need to take a loan. I'll probably get a 2-3% interest rate loan based on my credit score.Any suggestions on how to make this switch with the least financial impact to me?Ideas around which models/years to get (needs to be reliable and yet not too expensive), what kind of price range to target, or anything else will be really appreciated.

I wasn't sure to post this in Hot Deals or Finance, but I figure that the Finance people could benefit the most.When you buy $150 or more of qualifying Visa/Mastercard gift cards at Staples, you get a $10 Easy Rebate. The only way I saw that cost less than $10 in activation fees was to buy a $200 Visa gift card for $206.95. After rebate, it'd be $196.95.If you have a Chase Ink Cash card, you're getting 3% or 5% caskback at office stores. This would make the card cost $190.74 or $186.60, respectively, which is 4.6% CashBack or 6.7% CashBack respectively.If you got a targeted offer for your Ink Cash in the mail that's good for an extra $5 or $10 CashBack per $500+ transaction, then you can generate even more CashBack by buying 3 $200 Visa cards at once.I figure that this is pretty hot since with the right card, you're saving at least 4.6% on everything else that you buy using Visa gift cards, which is definitely more than the 2.9% + 29c that Paypal charges for peer to peer card payments, for instance
Hello, I am in market to buy a new car. In particular Honda Pilot with Navigation and Entertainment; I was looking at few models and came across touring model which is fully model. Pricing from Edmunds.com
Touring 4dr SUV w/Nav, Rear Entertainment
3.5L V6 FWD 5-speed Automatic
$35,516 Invoice
$39,220 MSRP<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<AND>>>>>>>>>>>>>Touring 4dr SUV w/Nav, Rear Entertainment
3.5L V6 4WD 5-speed Automatic
$36,961 Invoice
$40,820 MSRPWell, I am sure you all know why I am posting this here. I am looking to get it bargain. Anyone has gotten a better price??? Beside what is listed how to price haggle on Fatwallet.com what other ways people have come across some great deals. I was told once that I should buy a car end of the month because dealers have to meet monthly quota. I am not sure if that is correct but hey thats still little helpI am looking to spend $30,000 or less I am sure people have purchased one around that price.. I am located in Houston, TX
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>UPDATE<<<<<<<<<<
Okay, I would like to make little correction to the post!!!Firstly, If anyone have purchased or are in the process of purchasing one.. What kind of offers have you received or the offer you have made to the dealership and the dealership was thinking hard about your offer??? Secondly, if you made an offer and were except by the dealership what were your offers (in term of out the door price) Side note: my credit rating is around 800, if that counts for anything.
Thank you for reading and replying back with your comments and concerns; greatly appreciated.

I see quite a few posts where people mention getting various offers from credit card issuers when they attempt to close the card. There're also some banks (Ally, for example) that will offer you a higher than standard interest rate if your CD matures and you're willing to open another one. That got me thinking whether CD issuers might be willing to offer a higher interest rate if one calls and tries to close a CD. Please share your experiences.
Seems like an ok price... Looks like the "Lyrics" are the way to go... "Moxy" can be purchased with an inline mic! That is a nice perk. Free Shipping on orders over 24.95FYI Since I have purchased from BG before it looks like I saved 20% before the 50% off... So I got the lyrics headsets for: $99.99 - 20% = 79.99 - 50% = $39.95 shipped. Moxy would be $27.95 shipped...from the message...Back in June, we announced our new line of premium sound earbuds, earjax.

This thread is probably going to be a little long winded, so Ill apologize for that in advance. My friends mother is not mentally well. She is a compulsive hoarder (as in piles to the ceiling, paths through the house, unknown smells, dead rats left floating in toilets, etc.) and he currently lives with her. He is unemployed and 24 years old. He is finishing up his AA in general education at the local community college next month. He was GE because he was planning on transferring to university and getting a Bachelors but due to financial reasons that is going to be difficult. To be blunt, he essentially has no marketable skills and very little job experience. He does have a car, so theres that. Hes been looking for work but it hasnt been going well. He has his own bedroom and bathroom and he cleans them, but she constantly imposes herself into his space and piles her stuff in. She will not allow him into her bedroom, so we aren't real sure whats going on in there but the smell suggests it isn't good. Now the complications- His mother owns 4 rather valuable properties in New York state. She lives in one, and has essentially destroyed it with her habits, rents out 2 (these are apparently in decent shape and the income from them is what sustains them, barely, as far as I can tell), and the 4th property was flooded 2 years ago (burst pipes) and she just left it to decay, which it has done. Its a tri-level home-she didnt clean up the water, all utilities were shut off and there is visible mold. It is also filled with a lot of her junk. She has already expressed her intention to leave 2 properties to him and 2 to his brother when she passes. We are essentially trying to brainstorm ideas to get him into the ruined property, get working on renovating it and protect both his and her interests in making it a habitable, rentable place. It is actually a 3 family unit- a duplex with a small apartment in the back, but the duplex was converted to single family (should be fairly easy to convert back since the house probably needs to be nearly gutted anyways). The mother has expressed interest in living in this house, but lacks both the money and wherewithal to even begin repairing it. Im kind of assuming she has just gotten very lucky with the other 2 houses and had tenants who did not destroy the place, which has allowed her to essentially coast by collecting rent checks without putting any work into the houses. He isnt interested in ripping off his mom or taking the property from her, what he wants to do is get into the house, get it repaired, live there away from his mother (if you are familiar with severe hoarders, you probably know it isnt an easy fix problem, and most advice from psychologists is to just keep your distance and try to keep them as safe as possible) and rent out the other 2 units. Sharing the money with her, even giving her all of it, would be ok. We are just looking for advice from anyone who might have been through a similar situation. The property is worth around $750k fixed up and should have rental income from all 3 units of ~$5k/mo, possibly more. Right now it is just rotting and there is no hope of her repairing it, she is elderly and getting progressively worse. Just sitting down and reasoning with her will not work, she is completely irrational and possibly(probably?) suffers from dementia. We arent looking for legal advice, and we dont need to be told we shouldnt act on advice from the internet- we are in the very preliminary stages of trying to right this situation and are just looking for ideas from people who may have been through something similar. Thanks.
I bought this nettop a few weeks ago from Newegg, and have been using it with my HDHomeRun Prime as my primary HTPC. Newegg has it on sale now for $155 with free shipping, after a $45 instant rebate.This thing runs Windows Media Center 7, Hulu, Youtube like a champ. It records a channel while playing another at the same time without any problems. People have also been running Linux and XBMC on this thing without problems. Has wireless N and USB 3.0, which is a bargain at this price. Some reports of the box running hot under stress, but I was able to clean up the processor and put some Artic Silver paste on it, and it seems to be running plenty cool now.This box supports a 4GB stick of 1066 memory, which you can add for $17 (make sure you get laptop memory). You can also slap in any 2.5" laptop drive, and then this thing is ready to go. I had some trouble installing windows on it through USB, but was able to format the hard drive in a laptop first, and then dropped it into the nettop. If you're going to use HDMI, make sure you install the AMD Catalyst Control Center so you can adjust the screen scaling if needed (i.e. if image on your TV spills over the edge or if it doesn't take up the whole screen).Those of you planning to use a HTPC for Netflix may want to think twice. There have been some reports of silverlight (Netflix) not being optimized for this processor.Onboard Video: AMD Radeon HD 6310

How often do you hear of Nigerian scammers getting away with stealing thousands of dollars? I guess news like these can be rationalized: non-bordering countries, different laws, distinct political priorities. However, today I have found that the law will refuse to cross the street, not just countries. The credit card thieves prosper virtually on the other side of the street of a police station and no one will serve justice. Here I could have made a good pun on blind justice crossing a street if the whole thing was not so sad. In short, our office is located on outskirts of Houston, Texas. On Friday (Nov 04) nine people decided to go for a collective lunch to a small restaurant. Such outings happen rather rarely when our schedules align and we can lunch en masse. The pick of a restaurant was Genghis Grill located at 1531 S Hwy 6 Suite 130, Sugar Land, TX 77478 (this address is a neighboring city a few miles away). We had a good time, the food was tasty, though it did take time to pay. Our server received 7 credit cards and 2 cash payments, everyone paid for their own meal. The slow pace processing our payments did raise a few questions, our server noted about machines being slow that dayIn 24 hours, Saturday, six of us received calls and emails from our banks alerting us to fraudulent charges. Until Monday everybody thought that they were the only ones who got hit with theft. Once the water-cooler talk has started first thing on Monday, we discovered that we are all victims except the lucky few who paid in cash. Another person who did not receive a call from a bank has indeed discovered authorized charges and proceeded to contact their bank. It was easy to put two and two together and deduce the culprits place of origin. We called the restaurant, the manager was rude. We called the headquarters of Genghis Grill chain, at least we let them know what is going on under their roof.The fraudulent charges were made with duplicated debit/credit cards. The thieves shopped tirelessly in Houston and Austin, they have purchase gas, fast-food, and even candy. Some charges were as small as two dollars. But majority of the theft has happened in WalMart and Target. While reading the on-line banking report, I could almost cry at the apparent lack of imagination of criminally involved. It is like finding out that your stolen Porsche was used to make deliveries by a paperboy on his newspaper route. Such a touching regard for those whose dream of a spending spree is WalMart can only be explained by bank refunding all the fraudulent charges (BofA in my case, I know). I am sure it would be pitchforks and rope otherwise. By the time the day wore off, most of us have forgotten about the news what has been a real productivity killer in the morning. During my lunch on Monday I went to Sugarland Police department to make a report. Sarcasm or not, the police station is like a block away from the offending restaurant. They have politely refused to issue me a police report. I was told that it matters not where the credit card was stolen, the theft charges on my credit card have originated in Houston stores, therefore I should go to Houston PD. After work I go to the Houston PD on DiaryAshford, there I was corrected. It matters not where the credit cards were used, what matters is the original place where the supposed crime has taken place. So, here I am, in hand with all supporting information, a map where a thief works, her name Nothing. Maybe I should have brought donuts.So, I guess I am letting this one go. The funny thing is, the Sugarland police website is full of news articles how their city is getting safer every day. Today I have found out how, they refuse to write up crimes that happen next door, thus, lowering the crime statistics. Is there anything else can be done, or should be?

Verizon will be starting a promotion on November 8th, 2011, in which both existing and new customers are eligible for double data plans. Those people getting a 2GB data plan now for $30 will soon be getting a 4GB data plan for that same $30.......Then once again note, this plan will allow customers subscribing to a Verizon 4G smartphone data plan to receive double the amount of data theyd normally get for the same monthly fee. This promotion can be had by customers who are already on the Verizon network via their My Verizon account. All youve got to do is log in and request the change to the double-data plan via customer service. Its just so simple, isnt it? You can take a peek at the Verizon data calculator if youd like, then make sure to bump it up!BONUS: for customers who would at this point like a smaller data plan, youll be able to add a 300 MB data plan to your Verizon Wireless smartphone or basic phone (aka feature phone) for $20 per month added to a voice plan. Basically thats just for email.http://www.slashgear.com/verizon-double-data-lte-promotion-revea...
Dear Fatwallet users,
I bought a Quarter acre lot in Oct 2006 for $125000.00 planning to construct a house with in one year and I took Interest only loan at 7.5% rate for 5 years and planned to convert as prime after house construction , after Dec 2006 real estate went down in our area and unable to contstruct a house on that lot, I begged the bank people every year since than to convert the interest only loan to 15 years prime loan, but they keep denied my request, In 2009 i had requested the bank to give me a construction loan to go ahead and build the house, but at that time my lot upraisel was only valued at 55K, Bank people told me to pay the 70 K difference and 20% for the total construction cost , which will be almost 120 K, I am not in a position to pay that much to construct the house. Now my Interest only loan got matured , My original mortgage bank was acquired by Hancock Bank now, They say that they don't have Interest only loans any more and asking me to pay rest of the 108 K for 120 months at 10% interest rate (Prime loan) which will be $1500 per month and $2000/year for proerty taxes, i need to pay $125 /Quarter as HOA fee. I don't see even after 5 years my lot will valued 55K, so far i had paid 48K in interest to the bank, I CAN'T EFFERT $1500 PER MONTH FOR NOW. I reached bank people to write off some prime amount and they had denied my request, I told them that i can still effort to pay $700/ month if they want to work with me, still they are not accepting my request, I think in America you got to be rich to default on loans and no place for honest poor people. Now i don't know what to do, WOULD YOU PLEASE PROVIDE ME YOUR VALUABLE SUGGESTIONS.
Is there any way to get out of an underwater mortgage without loosing your house? I hear of a lot of people walking away and being foreclosed on since it can sometimes be the smartest choice, but I don't want to do this.I bought a house for $260K back in 2009. All the "experts" all over the news, web, newspapers, etc. were all predicting it was the bottom of the price plummets, and that the market was stabalizing, foreclosures were going down, and it was the best time to buy before prices started going up. I put in hours upon hours of research, reading graphs, etc, and the graphs did seem to be plateauing. It seemed like a good time to buy my first home, and the first time in my life I could afford one.I have paid every payment on time, and always paid extra. In under 3 years, I've paid around $15K extra on principal. The goal was to pay it off as soon as possible. However the value keeps drastically plummeting. Right now I owe about $238K and the house is said to be worth $185K and still going down with no end in sight. In addition my income has drastically decreased to where I can just barely make the regular payment, and will not be able to pay any "extra" for a long time.I am a responsible, stable, hard working person, and I love this house. I do not want to walk away from it. But at the same time it it painful to see all the money I've put in, including all the extra payments, just evaporating into nothing.Its painful to see all the irresponsible people out there who clearly bit off way more than they could chew, and facing foreclosure, being able to qualify for loan mods and other government stimulus's. But a guy like me who is in a tough situation, but is responsible enough to have never missed a single payment, doesn't qualify for any of those. And a responsible guy like me simply could never just walk away and be foreclosed on.Is there anything at all a person like me can do to get out of the underwater mortgage, and somehow get the principal reduced? I'd even potentially consider drastic measures like bankruptcy (something I never thought I'd ever say), or other drastic measures, I just don't want to do anything that would risk loosing the house, I love the house, but I really cannot stand putting all this money towards a home that is falling in price 5X as fast as I'm paying it.
Any chance of getting a couple of hotel rooms (budget $200 per-room per-night) in Las Vegas for new year's eve? A bunch of people says it's too late. I called around and the rates quoted are outrageous!
Ok, I did a search for the word "gold" and looked through all results but did not see what I was looking for. I've been reading about investing in gold and just trying to figure a few things out..When people buy physical gold (I.E. bullion coins) and hang on to them for a bit and then later try to convert back to cash aren't some of their gains on the value lost in fees to sell the gold? Like if I had gold and opted to sell it on eBay I would likely have to pay quite a few % points to in sales fees. Or if I went to a local coin dealer to sell it back he obviously is not going to pay the current face value of gold as he too needs to turn around and try to sell it for a profit. I'm sorry if these questions are dumb. I guess I just don't get how this works.I'm betting money can be invested in stocks that mimic the price of gold but would the person then be the same situation later when trying to sell these stocks?
Yes it is brand new, unopened, with full warranty from manufacturer and Best Buy 14 day return.
Got one at $193.xx, regular price $249.99. There are a few stores showing this item in the "Clearance" page, after entering zip code into "store locator". This was the lowest price I could find near my place (Twin Cities, MN).
There is also ASUS Eee PC netbook on clearance at $179.99. Since both are about equivalent capacity except Samsung has 6 cell battery, lasting over 8 hours according to people's feedback, it meets my travel need better. Again, NO CALL, NO PHONE ORDER. Ask for the corresponding SKU in store. Usually the associate will search in front of you and tell you how many in stock. The one I asked was totally unaware of the clearance price till pulling out one of the 5 leftover from storage room, and WOW...

So for the next year or so I will be working on my dissertation almost exclusively from home (teaching classes online) and my car insurance renewal is coming up. I am going to be driving probably less than 15 miles a week most weeks for the entirety of the renewal period (6 months). I asked the insurance company and they said they don't offer anything like that, so I am polling the collective FWF wisdom on this. Seems to me like someone would offer this for people who won't be driving much but still need to keep the car insured, since it'll almost guarantee (statistically) no claims being driven that little. Anyone know of any companies that offer policies like this?
Other people are posting "hot deals" for one of these stylus for $10 each on Amazon.
Buy.com is selling the exact same thing for 2 for $5 FS.

This is a continuation of an archived topic that was started last May, titled: This company will reach out to strategic defaulters to help them go thru and rebuy the house later. See this URL for the previous thread: http://www.fullofdeals.com/forums/finance/1100298/ The discussion on this topic was quite lengthy, so I don't know exactly where to start or how to jump in. But I was following that thread closely once upon a time because I had come across the company in question, HomeLiberty, found their strategy very intriguing, and was interestd in possibly working with them to try and keep our home. But I wanted to read all the "buzz" about them that I could find, before taking that risk. I am happy to say, many months later, that just yesterday - November 4th - we succeeded in buying back our own home, by working with HomeLiberty. We previously owed $400,000 on our home. It foreclosed and went to auction. HomeLiberty tried to buy it at the auction, but someone else outbid them. HomeLiberty did not give up. They continued on form there, and worked with the new "owner" (an investor, not a person wanting to occupy the home) to purchase the home from him. They succeeded! And then sold our home back to us. We bought our home back for $215,000, and after putting in a down payment we now owe $193,000. In one year, after making principal-only payments, we will owe approx $167,000. I believe that will put us at about 22+% equity, given our property currently has a FMV of $215k.We tried to be as careful as we could be along the way, checking with our real estate lawyer as we moved through the process. Patrick and Mark at HomeLiberty were a remarkable team to work with, and truly did win our trust. They left no questions unanswered, and I am a very skeptical consumer who is pretty heavy on the questioning. I am happy we went with our gut instinct and gave them a try! I can only hope that some of our friends in the same position will follow the same path.One word of caution, though. I think this idea is really mainly only for those who are ALREADY ready to lose their home, and have made that decision to go into default and foreclose. The reason for this is because there is NO guarantee they will be able to buy your house back, and they make that very clear. (Although they sure do try everything they can to do so!) It's really one of those things where you have to be ready and totally willing to lose in order to win. If you are a strategic defaulter who is already in the foreclosure process and who has defaulted ONLY on your mortgage, you are the perfect candidate to look into this strategy / opportunity.As I said, I'm not sure how to cover the main points that people may be questioning. I don't usually post on forums, but I do like to read them a lot, to be informed in my decisions. In this case, I felt it worth the trouble to jump into this conversation because I want to see more good and hard-working people come out of this negative equity situation as well as we did. The way I see it, the banks certaintly aren't interestd in or willing to meet people even PART-way, so it's nice to have a different avenue to approach this and take some power into your own hands... Maybe if this trend increases, the banks will reconsider and realize they are the ones who have the power to try and rectify the situation. I am willing to answer any questions about our story, to the full extent that I can. I realize some people will disagree with our ethics on this decision, and if so we will just have to agree to disagree. After reading Brent White's book "Underwater Home: What Should You Do if You Owe More on Your Home than It's Worth?" we started to see things very differently. More clearly. More informed. I'm not here debate or to convince people to do what we did, but just to share our story for those who want to know.
I am researching to use credit card to pay my monthly mortgage. I was wondering if anyone has tried this.The mortgage payment via credit card will have to be a normal charge and not a cash advance.I found a website ChargeSmart. They charge a fee to pay mortgage via your credit card. For instance, for Bank Of America, the fees is $13.95 per transaction.So you basically earn points or Cash Back for paying the biggest monthly purchase that you do.I would appreciate if people could respond with their experience.

Most people are familiar with the "L" curve which represents both the distribution of wealth and the distribution of income in the United States. The richest 10% of the US owns 90% of the wealth; within this, the richest 1% hold 50% of the nation's wealth and the next 9% hold another 40%.While much of the attention lately has been on fairness and the social effects of inequality, little attention has been paid to the effect of this on investment prospects. The distributions of wealth and income are also distributions of customers and investors. The least wealthy (and lowest income) 90% of the country spends practically all of its income and makes up the body of customers for the businesses owned by the richest 10%.In general, the richest 1% of the country represents the political class. One must make $340k per year to be part of the top 1% in income. The top 1% gained its wealth and maintains its income through political connections; they work in the financial sector and can access the markets in ways -- such as high speed trading -- that the average person cannot, they do the executive/board shuffle, where as executives they sit on the boards of other companies and give performance-independent raises to their friends, then have those same friends on the board of their company give raises to them. They can expect to work for the federal government for a few years and then switch to a private government contractor or lobbying group to use the regulations that they have implemented for their own benefit. A few are athletes or entertainers, however they typically earn the $340k required for the top 1% for only a few years of their lives.The next 9% of the country represents the professional class; it is mostly made up of highly skilled professionals and managers. Lawyers, doctors and dentists, scientists and engineers, small business owners typically earn the $108k-340k required to be part of the top 10%. I'm not here to talk about fairness; I'm here to talk about practicality. I contend that the reason for the volatility and instability that we have seen in capital markets since 2007 is that the spending of the lower 90% is not sufficient to provide returns for the invested wealth of the richest 10%. Whether it is in the form of interest, dividends, rents or capital gains, the public has to spend if investors are to earn. Investors have responded to this by rushing from questionable investment to questionable investment -- real estate, greek bonds, complex derivatives, shiny metals -- all in an attempt to find a seat at the high yield table when all of the seats are full. The mismatch between spending and investable assets is also why risk-free investments such as US treasury bonds and FDIC insured bank accounts pay interest which is lower than inflation; there is little demand for capital among the best businesses. Even with high government spending and an expanding deficit, investors are willing to buy 10 year US treasury bonds for a return of less than 2%. This is not because such bonds are a great investment; its because there is nowhere else to put the money.This situation did not come about suddenly; it has grown gradually over the last 30 years. As it progressed, the lower 90% has supplemented its income (investors returns) with loans. When the wages of the public stopped meeting inflation, they took out loans on their homes and cars. As of 2008, the jig is up. Everybody knows that these loans are never going to be paid back, even if nobody wants to take them off the books.For investors, the game of the last half-decade has been to transfer the debts of insolvent parties to solvent parties. Thus, we saw the bailouts of real-estate lenders in the US, the bank bailouts in Ireland which nearly led to national default in a government that had barely run a deficit and the attempt to transfer the debts of Greece to the citizens of Germany. Government officials have supported this, citing the need for stability, supporting their own wealth and responding to the wishes of their wealthy sponsors and negotiating a bailout. Unfortunately, this has only made the problem worse; as long as the ratio of investable money to spending by customers remains high, the instability will continue. At the same time, unrest among the lower 90% of the population has increased. The poorest 90% knows that they have been harmed, they have a pretty good idea of who did it, but they have litle idea of what to do about it. Historically, when the richest 1% has been targeted by the poorest 90%, they have offered up the middle 9% in sacrifice. The middle 9% have enough money that taking it is worthwhile but not enough that they can stand up to large corporate or government action. The top 1% have also learned to turn the middle 9% against the lower 90%. Because they are wealthier than 90% of their neighbors, many members of the 9% either think that they are the top 1% or aspire to be such. Frequently, members of the middle 9% embody the relationship between hard work and success and wonder why others cannot succeed as they did. Socially and culturally, they have little in common with the poorest 90%However, the financial needs of the 9% more closely resemble those of the 90% than those of the 1%. Unlike the richest 1%, the middle 9% are susceptable to job loss/customer loss and cannot maintain an upper/middle class lifestyle without working. While it might not wipe them out, one medical malady that is not paid by insurance could eat up the results of 10 years of work. The middle 9% pays the largest proportion of their income in taxes -- payroll taxes, high income tax rates without many tax breaks, and sales taxes. The middle 9% obeys government regulations and the policies of major corporations rather than forming them.The wealth of 90% of Americans has been exhausted. The middle 9% started off as the middle 25%, but has seen its wealth depleted over the last 30 years. First the working class was drained, then the middle class, now the only funds available for the wealthy to obtain are those of the upper middle class. Since the number of people is smaller, the amount transferred per person to produce the same returns for the top 1% must be larger. Most of the members on this board are part of the middle 1%. If you were part of the top 1%, using the strategies here to make an extra $5k/year would not be worth your time. If you were part of the poorest 90% you probably (some exceptions) wouldn't have the capital to make them work. What are some of the strategies that we can use to keep the debts of the poorest 90% from being transferred to us, and to keep the top 1% from trying to drain us to rebuild their investment returns?
Switchback Magazine comes to you from Move Press, the same folks that brought you Peloton Magazine. Their intent is to deliver stories, images, and information about mountain biking like youve never seen them before. Think of it this way, road cycling has had its fair share of glossy, high end periodicals. Isnt it time you get one thats covered in dirt?

Youll find a familiar sense of passion for riding and for the friends and partners that so often make mountain biking as good as it is. And if the ride reports seem like theyre written within the intimacy of a post-ride campfire, they most likely were. Switchback Magazine is about mountain biking on the trails that weave together our lives. Its about a simple machine and a ribbon of perfect dirt. Its about the people who love mountain biking. Its about respect.

What really separates Switchback from other magazines is the balance between old and new, technical articles, stories, and interviews. Encompassing gear reports keep you abreast of the latest gadgetry or seasonal apparel to keep your rides fast, fun, and comfortable and to keep you daydreaming about new bike stuff. Switchback Magazine is available six times per year.Linked from Competitive Cyclisthttp://www.competitivecyclist.com/product-accessories/2011-switc...Check the bottom for a link to the digital version, for free.Direct link:http://www.switchbackmagazine-digital.com/switchback/?u1=CCYCL

PROMOTIONAL VALUE EXPIRES ON February 4, 2012
I figured I would post the deals I have for my trip so far. Figured it would be something a little different compared to all the request that get posted here.Dates: 01/21/12-01/28/12Flight- Flying Spirit out of Detroit for $49 each way. Comes to about $130 round trip after taxes. Just about impossible to beat that price even after having to pay for any of the "extras" that Spirit likes to charge for. Only thing I will pay for is luggage as I let them assign our seats.Hotel- We normally get our hotel comped at a CET property for the week, but we didn't do much gambling at CET properties this year and no longer get the comped offers. Staying at Imperial Palace for Saturday-Tuesday. I know not too many people like IP, but we have always loved the location and never have had any problems other than the line to check in. We got a rate of $20 per night using our players card rate. Tuesday-Saturday we will be heading downtown. We will either stay at the new rooms at the Plaza, or use our 2-1 room night offer at The Fitz.Car- Still searching for a better deal. Currently I have a mid size car reserved at Alamo. Rate is $180 after taxes and discounts. We normally get the car for closer to $150. Used the Costco code (I am a member) and the $30 off coupon.Other Discounts- I will purchase both the American Casino Guide and Las Vegas Advisor MRB before going. Those are a must purchase for us each year. I also bought a couple of the restaurant.com gift certificates last year for a few restaurants (Mr. Lucky's, Gameworks, and a few others). I will probably buy a couple of those again during their next 80% off sale. Hope this information can be useful to others who are planning and need help with Vegas. Good luck!

Hey Fatwallet,I'm a young guy, early 20's, just out of school and am an entrepreneur. I'm seeking some advice, just wanting to hear your thoughts...what would you do differently if you could go back and re-live parts of your life? What advice (financial and life) would you give a 22-year old looking to get ahead, invest wisely financially and invest wisely in people, and live life to the fullest?I appreciate your comments!
Im trying to gain a better understanding of how the stock market works and the rationale behind people going crazy when the market drops. Ive been a US citizen for almost a decade and am trying to understand all of it. From what I understand the market is worth exactly what has been put into it. Say there are 100 companies in the entire stock market (work with me!) and each company has 10,000 shares, for a total of 1,000,000 shares of stock in the entire market. People begin buying them up at $1 each. The market now has a value of $1 million. Then, people start to pay $2 for each stock, and then $3years later the stocks are trading for $100. Now the value of the entire stock market is $100 million. Its worth $100 million because thats whats been put into it.

Uh oh, theres a giant storm that shuts down production in 5% of the nation and at the same exact time20% of the companies are laying employees off. The nation panics. People begin to sell their stocks, accepting $99, then $98a week later, people are selling their stocks for $80. The market is now worth $80 million. People are watching the news and hear that the stock market has plummeted 20%! Oh noes! Everyones 401ks have lost 20% of their value! Butheres where Im confused. The only people that have lost money are the people that decided to hold. The ones that sold are golden, right?Its not like the money has magically vanished, its just that the market has adjusted. The money that was in the pool was taken out by some individuals and the rest remains. The number of stocks available hasnt changed, only the amount of money that is tied to those stocks. If 20% of the money was taken out, then the stocks have fallen 20%.What made me think of this is how most of the US retirement funds are based on 401ks (stocks). Everyone is pumping money into the market by putting money into their 401ks, causing the price of the stocks to increase. Then, something happens and people start selling (the market drops). Those people pulled money out of the pool. The people being passive did nothing and lost money. After the market settles people keep throwing money into their 401ks, which causes the stock market to gain. The cycle continues.We always hear that historically the market gains x% each year, but that money has to come from somewhere. It comes from us, correct? It comes from the guy that buys the same stock youre holding for a higher price. In essence, if there were 1 million people in the US and no one was dying or being born, and each year people are dumping tons of money into their 401ks, there really wouldnt be any return on investment, on average. The market value may have increased 5%, but really, people were buying stocks at a 5% premium over the previous year. Were inflating the value of our stocks by buying more of them at a higher price.Do I have this correct? It seems like the people that go crazy when it plummets are those that dont do anything and decide to ride it out. It also seems that the value of the market has little to do with the true value of the companies that are in it. Its more of a legalized gambling system. You try to jump in and out at the best time in order to maximize gains. Or, to put it another way, you try to steal as much money from the idiots that you can, right? Thats essentially what it boils down to. Buy it low, then let the idiots pump the price up and then you bail, taking money right out of their pockets.I apologize that I dont do well explaining my thoughts in words but do I have this right?

Hello FatWallet!I live in Connecticut where we were just hit with a rare October Nor'easter and in the process, a tree branch fell onto my roof, denting the front driver side, chipping off some paint and cracking my windshield in the process. I have Geico with both Comprehensive coverage ($100 deductible) and full glass coverage (no deductible) for my black 2005 Ford Escape. I am going to get it repaired because I don't want to chance a leaking or rusting roof as well as a compromised windshield and after all, that is what I pay the insurance company form.I submitted the claim, but my question is how do I handle body shops? I can go with the Geico suggested ones where they guarantee the work done for the life of the car, or I know I can pick my own. What I am worried about is crappy workmanship, and I don't think Google reviews can fully be trusted because 1) not many auto bodies get reviews in CT and 2)I find most people submit reviews when they have something to complain about (not always though). I just want to pay my $100 deductible and have my car back to the way it was. The color shouldn't be hard, it's black; I just don't want a rough paint job or anything.Should I seek a Ford dealership, or stick with the Geico suggestion and keep hassling them if it isn't done 100%. I am very picky about keeping my things nice and fear that I will not be fully satisfied with the work done and they'll (either the Body Shop or Geico) will say "sorry, we're not paying to have perfection, it is perfectly operational." Any suggestions?

Saw Hello Kitty stuffed toy at the South San Francisco Costco going for $19ea. These were maybe 15" tall by about 12" wide which I think normally go for at least $10 more if not double. They were flying off the pallet too since it looked like every 5th or 10th cart had one. The two people in line ahead of me each had one.Costco stock varies by area and even by store so definitely YMMV on this deal.
I went to BJ's Wholesale Club today and they had old El Paso complete burrito kit for $1.99 after an instant $5.00 MFG rebate. The kit includes 10 tortilla's, and 2 packs of chicken with rice. It says it serves 4 people. ( it looks like it will serve 2).

Chase, when someone tells you they want to opt out, they aren't looking to send back a form to opt back out of their settings.

LONG story short. Got a $31,000 sticker 2011 Chevy Traverse for $20,100 with USAA, GM Card savings, rebate and loyalty. Killer deal. $31,000 down to $26,900 and then all the incentives, so they sold it to me for $4100 under sticker. I had to fly from Ohio to Virginia to close the deal. Plane ticket was $127 with taxes. Car was $1800 less than buying it in Ohio with USAA. Well worth the trip...or so I thought!I inspected the car upon arrival for 20 minutes and took it for a drive. Perfect. Nothing at all wrong with it. We went inside to finalize the papers. We go outside and he calls a guy to take it to fill up the tank. The guy brings the car back with a full tank and comes inside to get us. We walk outside and "Oh s*#t", a huge scratch in it. This dealership is going through a huge remodel outside and they placed a few metal signs with banners (about 6 ft tall) on the sidewalk next to where my new car was parked. It was windy and wouldn't you know it, one of the signs fell over and scratched the new car I just signed for! I about puked and my salesman, who was fantastic, was sick to his stomach. He immediately went inside and got the general manager who was also stunned. He then phoned the service manager to come take a look. This whole time I'm thinking, great, the specific car I wanted (stripped Traverse for cheap, and the color I wanted) is now effed up. I'm 400 miles from home without a way back if I walk and the plane ride will cost me $500. They told me they would understand if I wanted my money back, or if I wanted to drive it home and take it to a local Chevy dealer that would fix it and bill the dealership. They would put it in writing. Yeah, great. A new car that already needed work done to it. Now, I will admit I know every new car I've driven gets door marks, grocery cart dents, you name it, before you know it. My wife's 4 year old Pontiac G6 has more scuffs on it than I can count, none of which she did. This car is for my wife and our two young children and I'm sure in a few years it's going to show some wear.Then, I had an idea. My father's friend was a paint/repair man at General Motors for 40 years and has a shop at his house where he does work for people he knows. I told the managers I wanted to make a phone call, walked away and phoned my Dad (who also worked for GM in repairs, but mechanical). He said the rear fender would likely need to be totally repainted or his buddy could blend it in near the top. The Traverse's rear fenders aren't very large but they go around the window and all the way up to the front; you'll see in a pic I'll attach. If he was blending it, it shouldn't be more than $150 - $200 to do everything with GM paint and clear. I also noticed an extremely small scratch on the window that you can't even feel with your fingertip that's about 1 inch long. No one noticed it but me (yeah, go figures!). I told them they would have to replace that as well. No problem. The service manager said he would go inside and see what it would likely cost to fix. Note, this was before I made my phone call so he had no idea I was thinking of having a friend fix it. He came back with a figure of $500 to replace the rear window, with labor, and $360 to fix the scratch. $860, way less than what it will likely cost to get it fixed. I'm not going to touch the window. You can't even notice it unless I show you.I then told the manager that to make things easier that they could just cut me a check for $860 and we would be good. The manager agreed to give me a check for $860 that they will mail to me in a day or two. I got that all in writing, on carbon copy paper, with both our signatures. It was getting late, I had a 7 hour drive ahead of me, I got a killer deal on the car.Did I mess up? What should I have done differently? Is it too late to demand more or is that just greedy? I mean, in their eyes I got a new car that I'll have to get fixed, which is a hassle, and will have $0 left after its fixed at a dealer. Had the dealership told me this brand new car with 7 miles on it had an 18 inch scratch on it but was fixed I would have never flown to Virginia to get it. But, in reality, I did.Thanks in advance for any input!

I often hear people talk about a recent purchase of an item they wanted and then also that they sold other things to buy it. This is flawed thinking and I would like to make a quick explanation why this is. Maybe they sold a camera, some furniture, and some books, and then bought an iPad. All they say they paid was the "difference" between the proceeds from the sale and cost of the iPad.This should be viewed as two separate transactions:
1. Sale of camera, furniture, and books
2. Purchase of an iPadOnce you sell those items, you have cash for them. When you buy an iPad, you should *not* be looking at how you just sold things and calling this "free money." After selling those items, the iPad is a separate transaction. Would you have bought the iPad if you didn't sell those other items? Why or why not? Cash flow needs are an argument I would entertain, but if you have a sufficient cash balance, I think they're separate transactions.In statistics, we call this a "lack of memory." You should not look at the past when making decisions today - just make the best choice for your situation and that's all that is within your control, you cannot modify the past. If you bet on coin flips with expected 50/50 odds of heads or tails, but you get 3 heads in a row and lose a lot of money because you bet tails, what do you think the odds of the next flip being tails are?Person 1: "We just had 3 heads in a row, the next one is bound to be tails! Let's increase our bet by doubling down and reap the rewards!"Person 2: "Each action (coin flip) is independent and the coin has a lack of memory property, my guess of what comes next is just as good as my guess to the previous flips."
Through enough rentals over the years, it is a safe bet
that there are thousands of different outcomes when using
rental codes-no one code works the same for everyone at anytime.
Discounts vary with each person for each reservation
-2 people traveling the same distance using the same size truck
but with different destinations will receive 2 different price
quotes when using rental codes. Rental codes do not work for
every itinerary, but we keep trying until we find one that do In searching for Budget Truck Rental codes this evening, I have
discovered some that are still current....25% off Sun-Thurs: BK625
20% off Fri-Sat: BK696
expiration: 5/23/12Although both these codes are valid and offer discounted rates,
I cannot determine if there are any requirements for their use.
In my example, Palm Springs, CA to Laughlin, NV was at a 'Web Special'
rate of $228.60 for 2 days and 249 miles-when I use code BK696,
the rate part of the quote dropped down to $203.20.

This page always has current Budget CAR rental codes, but......Using W810011 or W810000 will result in a discount,
even though the Budget Truck web site Budget Truck Rental
might show a message that the codes are no longer valid-go figure.
BTW-these 2 codes are courtesy of Wal★Mart, and do not require
anything for their use.

This was posted before but has since gotten sweeter with the addition of Sunset Magazine getting thrown in. This is a through the California State Parks Foundation so the money is for a good cause too. You get seven individual paper passes you can use for State Park Day Use, you can use them all at once or one at a time until the expiration date. Note that it defaults to be automatically renewed at $40 the following year, but if you choose "one time gift" and $0 you avoid that (at least that is what I entered). Many people in the other thread thought these passes don't work at high volume parks, but the park nearest to me is on the no-go list and still takes the passes, so YMMV.The 3 beaches near me are all $10/day for day-use, so this is a $70 value + Sunset Magazine ($16 full price).Link

Since most of the people over at SD are haters, I decided to move my post here to hopefully a happier crowd at FW. Anyway, I received an eMail from Groupon this morning for FREE $5 Groupon Now Credit until 03 Nov 2011. I'm assuming it's for those that have not used Groupon Now yet to help promote it. YMMV. Don't forget the FW Groupon cash back. Attached eMail for reference:
I've been searching around for all of the graphite credit card choices and there seem to be a few:1. Chase Sapphire Preferred ($0 first year fee, $500 signup bonus after $3k spend within 3 months)
2. First National Bank of Omaha AMEX - http://www.firstnational.com/001/html/en/personal/cardproducts/c... ($100 signup bonus with $1k spend within 3 months)
3. Visa Black ($500 annual fee)
4. Centurion - we'd have this by now and not be in this thread if we could afford it
5. JP Morgan Palladium - Requires that you have a private banker, so you'll need $30 Million being managed/held by JP Morgan in order to qualify. (http://creditcardforum.com/blog/jp-morgan-palladium-card-benefit...Are there any other cards that used a graphite material or anything else nicer than just plastic?Note: I realize that this may not fit into the typical FatWallet theme, however the graphite cards seem to be a little unique and in the case of the Chase Sapphire, offer a really good deal to signup. I figure that there are at least some people interested in finding graphite cards (I am) and if they're competitive with other cards, I'll naturally use them.
Still no cash from Trans union settlement. After immediately signing the agreement as soon as I received it, a couple months later I learned I was thrown into some group II BS.. and supposedly they just took a bunch of people and made them group one.. and they each got a settlement.. I and many other so far never got a settlement, no cash, for those of us that chose cash.. so far it's been lies, deciet, and bs... it's the end of October 2011, and no word on why we never got this money that we elctronically signed for in our seettlement where were were suppose to get about $400 minus $200 for court costs.. so it so far looks like we were scammed and lied too. No one keeps us informaed...I would have added this to an existing thread in these forums, but there was no way to add to that thread..
Since Im into computers, I figured that Id do a post on how to get some useful totally free software and more for your computer. Just want to give a little back.Ill post about two types of software.1) Commercial Software and where you can get it for free or at an discounted price.
2) Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) which is just as good in many cases, but is completely free. Its basically people and companies that have donated their software to the world and dont expect anything back. Some famous examples of this are FireFox.Here are some of the better ones:Word Processing and ProductivityLibrary Books Did you know that you can check out e-books from the library for free? Lots of libraries participate. You can read them on a Kindle or download the Kindle App (for PC, iPad and more for free). This is the main website: http://libraryconnection.lib.overdrive.com/Open Office (FOSS) - from http://www.openoffice.org. This is a lot like Microsoft $300+ Microsoft Office package. Its mostly compatible with it and works pretty well. Ive installed it on people computers and most dont know the difference.Microsoft Office (Commercial) - If you really need Microsoft Office for your home computer, you can buy Microsoft Office Home and Student Edition for $124.99 from Newegg and can install it on upto three computers : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16832116856 Microsoft Office Online (Commercial, but Free) You can also create and edit real Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint documents online for free by using a live.com account. You get a free 25 GB (called SkyDrive) account and they have pretty full featured online versions of these programs. You can also download something called Mesh that allows you to backup up to 5 GB of files from your computer for free. Just go to http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/web-apps/ and sign up for free.PDFCreator (FOSS) This program is pretty awesome. It install a PDF Printer on your scomputer. Afterwards, you can take any document (say a Word document) and print it to a PDF file. Useful in many circumstances. http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfcreator/Antivirus and SecurityMicrosoft Security Essentials (Commercial, but Free) If you have a Windows computer viruses and other malware can be a problem. Most people dont need all of the fluff that you get with some of the Internet security packages. Security Essentials provides a really good level of protection for your computer completely free and is from the manufacturer: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/products/security-ess...AVG Free Antivirus (Commercial, but Free) AVG makes a great and fast security product and gives away the basics here: http://free.avg.com/us-en/homepage Click the big orange link. Its been free for years and works really, really well. Avast (Commercial, but Free) Another free antivirus tool. I havent personally used this one: http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-downloadMediaVLC Media Player (FOSS) This is an awesome video player software can play just about any file, including CDs and has tons of options (slow motion, loop a piece of a movie, set bookmarks, and tons of other things). It also plays movies in higher quality. Its totally free at: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/K-Lite Codec Pack (Unsure) This will help your computer be able to view as many video formats as possible. Codecs are software that helps compress video so that it can be more easily stored; there are many different ones and having the most common ones on your computer goes a long way. Download at least the standard pack here: http://www.codecguide.com/download_kl.htm (mega is okay also).Audacity (FOSS) Audacity is free audio editing software. You can take, for example, two MP3s and mix them together, to cut out a piece of an audio file, and Im sure some more advanced things: http://audacity.sourceforge.net/OK, I think thats it for now (although I have a lot more). Does anyone else have some great, free software? If you are looking for something specific Im sure the geeks among us can help recommend something.
Amazon Link$2.28 (FSSS eligible)Product DescriptionAward-winning photographer Anne Geddes founded a new tradition in visual storytelling and captivated an international audience. Now, after spending 12 months photographing, Anne reveals a range of images that are, in her own words, among the most personally rewarding she has ever created. A beautiful gift book with more than 140 never-before-published photographs, BEGINNINGS will be released worldwide on 10.10.10 in countries including, the United States, Canada, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Brazil, Australia and New Zealand.
I have always been fascinated by elements of nature at the moment of transformation, comments Anne. Babies are the human face of beginnings, but all of nature is caught in this insistent stream of seasons, of aging and rebirth, of concealment and bursting forth. Every time I unwrap a newborn, even after all these years of photographing them, I am aware of the miracle before me. This book, Beginnings, took me on a journey of discovery to reveal these everyday miracles of nature, these complementary wonders, in imagery.
Continuing in the tradition that has made her one of the most sought-after and popular photographers in the world, in BEGINNINGS, Anne Geddes presents the simple and elegant elements of nature as we have never seen them before. With her camera, she has conceived a fresh story about the delicate and powerful mystery of new life that will inspire nature lovers just as surely as her images of babies have captured the imaginations of people around the globe. She reveals the intricate beauty of birds nests, the delicacy of eggs, and the glorious color hidden inside the tight, unopened petals of a blossom before it blooms. Then, she expands on her visual metaphor to reveal surprising and illuminating juxtapositions of beginnings in floral and human forms.
Once again, Anne Geddes draws our eye to celebrate those treasures worth nurturing and protecting. Told in a language of love that is understood by so many cultures and people of all ages, BEGINNINGS is sure to transcend boundaries, as her other internationally bestselling books have done. About the AuthorAnne Geddes is one of the most respected and acclaimed photographers in the world. Awarded the Professional Photographers of America 2009 Lifetime Achievement Award, her unique and stunning images of babies capture the beauty, purity, vulnerability, and preciousness of children, embodying her deeply held belief that each and every child must be protected, nurtured, and loved. A two-time New York Times best-selling author, and published in 83 countries around the world, Anne Geddes books have sold more than 18 million copies and have been translated into 24 languages. Her Web site, annegeddes.com, attracts over 3.1 million visits yearly from more than 220 countries.Anne is deeply committed to raising awareness of the prevention of child abuse and neglect. Designated funds from a range of Anne Geddes products are donated through the non-profit Geddes Philanthropic Trust to help prevent child abuse and neglect throughout the world.In 2011 Anne Geddes' gift book Beginnings won the IPPY (Independent Publishers Book Award) gold medal award in the coffee table book category.
Thread 1
Thread 2I linked a few recent threads concerning gift card fraud. These have more to do with people using stolen credit cards to purchase gift cards to sell on Fleabay and other auction sites.I purchased a $200 gift card directly from a national chain Drugstore using my Discover Card during Discover Cards 5% rebate program and didnt use the gift card until last weekend (more than 6 months from purchase). The gift card was used at another retail location many states away only a few weeks from me purchasing the card. (The fraudster used my gift card to purchase a visa gift card). I went to use the gift card and it was informed it had 0 balance.My assumption is that the card was cloned somewhere before the card was put on the shelf at my location or at the store and somebody checked the card for activation and used it soon after. The retailer no long allows for checking the balance without the scratch off pin number, BTW, so another indication that they have had problems. The pin was in place on my card until I called this weekend and the card has always been in my possession. Here is an article on the problem: http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/07_03/b4017054.htm
Experiences or suggestions? I am waiting for a response from the retailer (it has been 8 days since I called them). They had indicated 2-5 days. Called them again 2 days ago. Would the credit card be any help with the purchase being so long ago (more than 6 months)?I looked at the OCC website and there doesnt appear to be any regulations on gift card fraud (just on expiration dates, etc).

I'm in the middle of a graduate program after which it is pretty much guaranteed that I will continue working in government or non-profit positions for the remainder of my working years. I have a fairly large family and a spouse who currently is not earning outside income. When I graduate, I will easily qualify for Income Based Repayment and Public Service Forgiveness of Loans.Currently, we could manage budgetarily to not take out any more student loans, but this will severely limit building up retirement and other savings. Also, I will continue to qualify for loans until graduation. I can then use those loans for covering school-related living expenses, and use my income to establish savings.Throwing some only loosely approximate numbers out there, under IBR, repayment right now (without Obama's new changes) would be about $200/month. Standard repayment right now would be about $425. This would, of course, go up if I received additional loans, where IBR would stay the same. Assuming no more loans, if the IBR plan ended up averaging the difference between what it is now and the standard payment over the next ten years (this is assuming our income increases), 10 years of standard would be $51,000. 10 years on IBR would be $37,500. At 10 years, the remaining debt would be forgiven (tax free). Taking out more loans would only increase this IBR total if my income increased significantly int he next 10 years (which is possible, with a potential second income coming on at some point), but it still would always be less than the total under standard (which would increase significantly). And under IBR more interest will be available for deduction during that time.It seems that the potential concern is that they end the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program. However, I think that this is unlikely to happen (or, if it does end, people currently in the program will be grandfathered in). Additionally, FWF folk have been predicting a student loan bailout coming that could potentially make having student loans an even better economic situation.Given this, is there any reason, from my financial perspective, not to max out my Federal student loans until I graduate, especially if Obama's program becomes reality?
Martin Luther: In His Own Words
by Martin Luther
read by David Cochran Heath
Most all Christians know the name Martin Luther. Less familiar, however, are his words. This compilation of many of Luther's most important writings serves as an excellent introduction to those new to Luther. It also provides a fresh medium for people familiar with his writing.
Included is "The Small Catechism", "95 Theses", "On Faith and Coming to Christ" and four others!

Hey guys, first post! Credit Karma had this offer a few months ago, all the accounts were gone in a few hours:http://www.creditkarma.com/monitoring/ckoctEnjoy!
Was thinking about this last night. Penfed offers two products, a 5 year fixed home equity loan (HEL) and a 10 year HEL. The 5 year is 2.99% and the 10 year is 3.99%. Most people probably cant afford the larger payments of the 5 year but what if you made up the difference from another loan? Will the savings on the full loan amount make up for the interest you have to pay on whatever you are using to supplement your payment?In my attached spreadsheet (I know it needs formatting) I compare the costs of the two loans assuming you make up the difference in payment with another loan (6% HELOC). I went three years out but what I think it shows is that if you have enough borrowing potential and a good enough rate on your secondary loan (HELOC) you should choose the 5 year. The HELOC for the secondary loan works well because I assume no payments are required toward principal. This may be simplifying things but if your payment was $150 you could in theory just withdraw $150 and then immediately use that as your payment. The two interest totals are in Columns E and F.Thoughts? Am I leaving something out that skews the numbers the other way?

Well, first off, I am not a new user, this is just a pseudonym because my real identity can be linked through what I am about to post.It seems that my COA is running at a deficit. It is a large building with over 300 units and growing. My personal belief is that COA should pay for the general upkeep of the building, personnel and nothing else. However, not all of the other residents agree. We are currently paying for a shuttle bus to ferry residents from the building to the nearby train station. It is less than 0.6 mile walk but, people are lazy. As the population has grown so has the need to increase the shuttle service thus, the need in his opinion to increase the COA fees. I think the management company are gouging us. However, our bylaws state we cannot oust them until 80% of the building is sold or 5 years after completion. The developer is in control right now of the COA and resident opinions are only listened to as a courtesy.I have attached a pdf of the annual budget for 2010. I see that we have a operating deficit but, cannot find out where the deficit came from. It does not add up.Where is my money going?

Currently shopping for a drill bit at a Home Depot in Los Angeles and they have the DeWalt DC4CKITA 18V Compact Cordless Combo Kit for $299. They just got in the replacement which is now 20V. Seems like a pretty good deal. The cheapest I could find on Amazon Marketplace was around $360. There were people (mostly construction guys) buying multiple sets. Not sure f the price is store-wide.
So I've got a 3 year long goal. I've currently got a total credit card limit of $21,500, of which I have about $4,000 on a 0% BT. My credit limits are as follows:$3400
$1100
$3700
$1300
$7200
$47001 is AMEX, 2 are Chase, 2 are Citibank, and 1 is Discover.I also have about $50,000 in student loans. I really want to get up to $100,000 in unsecured credit on my credit cards. I was just wondering what people out there are doing to build up their credit limits on individual cards. Would it be a good idea to somehow purchase cash equivalents and sell them the same day, and then pay off the credit cards every month with the cash? I'm not necessarily seeking to finagle rewards, so that aspect doesn't matter to me in this exercise. I'm also not going for an app-o-rama and trying to invest the proceeds just long term profit. I just want to show individual creditors that I can handle high limits and that I'll use their cards frequently. Has anyone done this? Charge the max (buying coins or binds --again, not for the rewards--) on all their cards and pay them off every month? Let's put my more generous "household" annual income at $100,000 (I make about $46,000. By the way, I'm 26, if that means anything.
I'm in a boat that many people are in - I've relocated out of state for work, had our house on the market for a while, and we're currently looking to rent it out instead since the real estate market is dead (at least for where our house is in southeast VA).We've had our house listed for sale with one of the more prominent realty companies in the area for the past few months - and they also happen to be the largest property management company in the area (largest by far)...and rightly so, they provide a lot of incentives to realtors to rent the house out (at the expense of the home owner). I have no issue with that part - my company will fully reimburse a lot of the initial expenses for renting it out, much as they were going to pay realtor fees if we sold the house.However, some of the additional terms in their Property Management Agreement seem a bit steep to me and I was wondering - has anyone had any luck negotiating and changing a Property Management Agreement with a Property Management company? We have an additional rental property in another state and the Property Management Agreement we have there is a lot more reasonable from my experience so I've yet to try negotiating the contract. Both my existing and now this current property management company charge the "standard" 10% management fee, however this company in VA charges a 5% rate while the house is vacant (I'm still paying any additional advertising fees, etc separately which is standard it seems). On top of that, they have this "incentive" which pays the agent who rents the house out 50% of one months rent if they rent the place out for 1 year...75% if they rent it out for 2 years. OK, I get that...its a good motivator in a market flooded with rentals to get the place rented. The parts I'm concerned with is that I have to pay the commission again if my renters later on renew their contract. While steep, I'm fine with paying the commission out for a realtor who is working and trying hard to rent out my house...but to pay them a commission just for accepting a contract renewal? That and there is some verbiage in their agreement where, after I've terminated the Property Management's services...if I sell the house within 6 months, I owe them a 6% commission on the sales price of the house???I'd consider going with another property management company except the others are much much smaller, and since this company is currently listing my house for sale, they already have all documentation + keys + access to the house given that we're no longer in the area.Also, I tried doing a search for both Property Management Contract and Property Management Agreement both in Active and Archived threads and didn't find anything so hopefully this hasn't been covered previously.Thanks!

It would also fund other schemes, such as distressed home sales in which outstanding debts are largely forgiven, payment forbearance for unemployed borrowers, the tearing down of dilapidated and vacant homes and transition assistance for homeowners to move into rented accommodations, people familiar with the matter said. About 80 per cent of the penalties would be earmarked for the federal fund.
A new element of the deal is a proposal to set aside $2bn to refinance current borrowers paying above-market interest rates into cheaper loans, people familiar with the talks said.
Borrowers who are underwater meaning they owe more on their mortgage than their house is worth would be targeted in the hope that if their monthly payments were reduced they would be less likely to default. The pool of eligible homeowners would be limited people whose homes are owned by the banks
Okay, here are the details.Wife and I make between 65 -75k per year (wife has been on maternity leave 2 out of the last 3 years, so that is why there is fluctuation). We bought our single family home in Jan. of 2008 for 170k. Our payment is about $1200, including insurance and taxes, with interest rate of 6.125%. We owe 142k on the home, and the appraisal came back at 140k. We are in the middle of a refinance using HARP. We have already paid $325 for the appraisal. We only have 12k in savings, and right now our income compared to spending and bills is about even (daycare for 2 kids is killer).The refi will cost us $5,350 cash with $2,400 coming back to us in escrow. This will cut our mortgage payment to about $950 - $1,000. Here is a breakdown of the settlement statement:Money owed to current mortgager: $143,381 (This is what I don't understand. Our current principal balance is only $141,750)
New Loan: $142k
Cash from borrower: $5,346Origination charges:$88
Credit report: 15
Flood Cert: 5
Interest Charges for 11 days: $200
Initial deposit to escrow: 2,600
Title service and lenders title insurance: $730
G'ment recording charges: 80
Transfer taxes: 213Total settlement charges: ~$4,000
We have no plans on moving in the near future, but I am worried about using 1/3 of our saving to refinance. I would appreciate any opinions and suggestions for our situation. I understand if people take offense to this selfish post, as I don't see how it would benefit many people in the finance message board, but I am honestly looking for advice.Thanks in advance.
In the past you could come to the 'travel deals' forum and get information on how to get travel deals. There were good deals and good information to be found. Sure there were the requests with no information and begging but you could post and have fun with it.....remember Jenny the Disney travel agent? There was fun and LOTS of useful travel information.Then it was changed to Travel discussion and for a time you could find useful information to use in travel. Threads were put together telling how to get Disney trips at a good rate (ditchqueen did that), the hours spent by another doing the rental car matrix (where riaesq spends hours helping others find cars when proper research is done and gets berated by others for not helping), the LV threads with hotel information, etc. Then in the past few months it is downhill.....posts showing up with copied and pasted information on how to pack for a trip, top items to pack (really toliet paper is the number one item), safety tips, etc. There are the spam posts (which are so apparent and so many around here ignore---several yesterday for a hotel in Daytona in posts like the packing tips, etc), the requests with no information given, etc. The mods at times appear to do a decent job but then you get the rude replies when you suggest there is spam or ask a sticky be put up. The bickering about comments made, etc. by posters. We were told this forum was going to be improved....that promise has been made several times. There was even a thread asking for ideas on how to improve...that is gone with the wind but yet these insightful ones on packing toliet paper remain. Those stay but when a senior member makes a comment on a thread like that the post is GONE faster than it took to type.Mods care to comment on when the forum is going to get back to where it was....or if things can be done about the posts telling us to pack toliet paper, to put our foot on the handle of the suitcase so it doesn't get taken, to bring a small flashlight for night travel, and to spread my books out in my suitcase and not stack them on top of each other. Really we need someone to google and tell us this....most people with brain cells that are connected can figure out how to travel, what to pack, etc. Seems like our new friend posting this information is probably a troll...someone with multiple ID's trying to stir the pot since not much happening here....might want to be investigated by mods.....hint hint hintThink if there are posts like these floating around the regulars and oldies deserve one to vent and remember the good old days of travel deals...it is a travel discussion just like the toliet paper!

This may be a no brainer to many thrifty people on here, but I had never been given this advice so thought I'd put it on here. My wife had a baby and after insurance kicked in we still owed about $3,500 to our local hospital. I was about to just pay it online but saw on the bill "If you have trouble paying call this number." I called and mentioned the note on the bill and was immediately offered 10% off if I paid it all all at once, or 0% interest over 6 months. I thought 10% was a great deal, but wanted to wait until a new Credit Card cycle started before putting the whole bill on. So I called one week later, and suddenly they were now going to discount me 15%, I hadn't even mentioned anything different than the time before, just ask about a discount. I wonder with some more work if 20% was possible.Just thought I'd mention it, as it took 5 minutes to save us $525.I then tried this tactic on the anesthesiologist, but they did not offer a discount, just 6 months no interest.
This deal is dependent on the coupon that some people have been receiving. It's a 16 digit code for $10 off all 10-ream case paper.Currently, there's case paper for $30.99 http://www.staples.com/Domtar-Earthchoice-Office-Paper-by-Staples-8-1-2-x-11-Case/product_674747After coupon, it becomes 30.99-10 = 20.99 AC for 10 reams of paper. Roughly 2.10/ream. (If you add in rewards, it's slightly cheaper)I have 2 of these coupons that I will not be using. Please PM me if you can use them for this deal.Hope this might help someone.I apologize for the fact this requires premier status to get free shipping regardless of purchase and the use of a 16 digit coupon.Thank you for reading this post.

The Philips HeartStart Home Defibrillator is designed to treat one of the nation's leading killers - sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). When SCA strikes, the electrical system of the heart short circuits. Shocking the heart into a normal rhythm is called defibrillation and is the only way to effectively treat the most common form of SCA.Will you be prepared when sudden cardiac arrest strikes?Know the facts.
Fact: Each year, approximately 325,00 people in the U.S. - nearly 1,000 people each day - die from sudden cardiac arrest (SCA).Fact: Nearly 80% of all sudden cardiac arrest happen in the home. A majority of the time, someone is in the home who could potentially help. That someone could be you.Fact: The risk of sudden death is highest soon after a heart attack, yet SCA is often the first sign of heart disease. In fact, 50% of males and 64% of females who experience SCA report no prior symptoms of heart disease.Fact: With every minute that passes without a shock to the heart, an SCA victim's chance of survival decreases by 7-10%. After 10 minutes, very few SCA victims survive.Early Defibrillation Helps Save Lives.
In the case of sudden cardiac arrest, minutes count. For the best chance of survival, a defibrillator should be used within 5 minutes. Unfortunately, less than 7% of SCA victims survive, largely because a defibrillator doesn't arrive in time. While a defibrillator won't save every victim, many more lives could be saved if more people were reached more quickly.The Philips HeartStart Home Defibrillator comes with everything you need:Philips HeartStart Home Defibrillator

A startup called Backify is offering 512GB of free online backup space for free. Read about it on Anandtech today.https://www.backify.com/I looked at their terms of service, and they seem to check out if you're just using their free backup service:
https://www.backify.com/termsofuse
https://www.backify.com/privacypolicyUnfortunately, it's clear from their privacy policy that there is nothing technical preventing them from reading the data you upload, i.e. it's not encrypted against themselves. This sucks, but the whole way these type of services are able to offer so much free space is by not having to store files duplicated between different people, so any type of full encryption of your files would prevent them from doing this. Therefore, I wouldn't store any really sensitive information on there, it's really just a rogue employee or bad security system away from being leaked.That said, you could just use an encryption program yourself like TrueCrypt, and encrypt all your data you're going to upload to them yourself, that should be completely secure. On the downside, if you're using a lot of the space, you're going to have to have a gigantic Internet connection, because as I understand it, everytime you changed the files, you'd have to re-upload the whole encrypted block.So in summary, probably not practical for really sensitive files, but a whole ton of free online storage for anything else. Definitely worth way more than $10, so posting in Hot Deals instead of Free Stuff.
I'll try to keep this as short as possible, but there are many details that I don't want to leave out. A little over a year ago, my father had to be hospitalized for several days. At the time, he had Medicare Part A, but had declined to enroll in Part B. He had secondary insurance from separate carriers for both hospital/emergency settings and private physician charges, but he did not have any primary coverage for private physician charges.The majority of the charges were covered by Medicare as they were hospital bills. However, there were also some private physician charges for doctor services performed in the hospital. They finally got the paperwork in order and sent us a billing statement in February or March asking for over $2300. We've spent the past 7-8 months trying to negotiate with them to reduce the amount due, since the total sum of the Medicare rates (based on CPT codes) was under $1300.In early July, we sent the doctors' billing office a letter explaining our position, and we even referenced a specific FW thread in the letter. (Special thanks to svr411, whose posts in that thread played an integral role in helping us deal with this situation). The letter went completely ignored. They did not respond, not even to decline our substantial and generous offer. I've attached the letter, dated June 30, to this post. Any information in pink has been removed or changed to protect the privacy of everyone involved.After the doctors' billing office ignored our letter, we decided the best course of action would be to wait for the debt to be sent to a collection agency, and that we'd attempt to negotiate with them. That's exactly what happened, and today, everything finally got settled. We have written confirmation that any and all entries about these accounts will be removed from my father's credit report within 30-60 days, and the total amount we paid ended up being only slightly more than half of the reduced amount we were offering.We negotiated in good faith on the phone, and as unusual as this may seem, the debt collection agency acted professionally and followed through on their promise to send a letter indicating that the accounts were settled, considered paid in full, have a zero balance, and would be deleted off my father's credit report within 30-60 days. I paid the agreed upon reduced amount over the phone with a credit card, and I made it clear that I was only authorizing the charge contingent upon the collection agency sending such a letter. I paid with AMEX and recorded that call in case I had to later file a chargeback, but they followed through and I've attached their letter to this post. Unless there's an unpredictable and dramatic turn of events, I don't think the chargeback will be necessary.My reason for starting this thread is first to give credit to FW, as I would never have been able to handle the situation the way I did without this forum. I'm also hoping that other people may find parts of our letter to the doctors' billing office to be relevant and useful. And finally, as a preventative measure, I have to ask if there's anything I missed or that I should look out for in the future. In other words, given all the information I've just posted, is there any possible way this could still come back to bite us in the ass?Please ask for whatever additional information might be relevant. I've shortened this up as much as I can, so I'm sure I left out some details that might actually be important.
I'm a 32 year old engineer with an advanced degree working in Silicon Valley tech. I have a high paying job ($160-180k) that I don't like. I'm a people person and a car nut. I would rather sell cars. I tried to do this part time for a few months (moonlighting) but the money is simply not there. I probably made $5000 is three months, much lesser after expenses. I know if I quit my job tomorrow and start in the car business, it will take me at least 7-10 years to get to my current income. What should I do? My current employer will not allow me to move to sales. They have hired me for my technical expertise. How can I enjoy what I'm doing, and also make decent coin? Any ideas?
As some on here should know I have been predicting a large crash in China's property markets and therefore the rest of China for over a year now. I still strongly believe this is the case, and it appears it is still approaching sooner than some have predicted.This is what we know:
1) Ghost cities
2) Estimated 30% property vacancy in all of China
3) The Chinese have been increasing interest rates, reserve requirements, etc. to try to pop the bubble
4) In recent weeks many major property developers have had their bonds drop to only 70 cents on the dollar signifying a belief among investors that at least a partial default on their bonds is likely
5) Property developers increased reliance on underground financing at interest rates of at least 70%
6) Continued talk of municipalities and provincial governments carrying on excessive debt in their special investment vehicles
7) Ratings agencies predictions that a 40% reduction in sales would lead to half of property developers analyzed not being able to meet interest payments2 New Developments:
8) Decision of the Chinese sovereign wealth fund to publicly invest in Chinese state owned banks to attempt(somewhat unsuccessfully) to calm the markets
9) News that September and October property sales them, 2 best selling months in China, are down anywhere from 30-50%(depending on the source) in comparison to last year.All this does point to a likely crash in China in the none to distant future.But this isn't the purpose of this thread.Taking a longer term view of developments in China I decided to research what changes may happen in party leadership at the upcoming Communist party National Conference next fall. I am not only creating this thread for those that are interested, but also for my own reference in the future. The defacto ruling committee in China is called the Politburo Standing Committee(PSC) which is a 9 member committee. 2 of those spots are always occupied by the President/General Secretary and the Premier. And only the 2 that will be appointed President/General Secretary and Premier will stay on the committee. The other 7 are leaving to make way for younger group of leaders.Now for purposes of simplification I have decided to use a scale of 1 to 10 to rate current members and future aspirants of the PSC. Those that are closer to 10 would be more "liberal" meaning they generally seem to want to move towards a more market based economy and they are comprised of mostly economists, people with experience running state owned enterprises, and engineers or other highly technical professions. And those closer to a 1 would be more "hard liner" meaning they generally seem to be focused primarily on political control and promote nationalism and they are comprised of mostly party bosses, propagandists, and in 1 case a former developer of military technology(missiles). Of course these numbers are just my guesses out of reading their bio's, statements, and commentary in articles about them and obviously they are very subjective.Current Poliburo Standing Committee1)President and General Secretary: Hu Jintao - 7
3)Premier: Wen Jiaboa - 7
2)Wu Banggou - 5
4)Jia Qinglin - 6
5)Li Changchun - 1
6)Xi Jinping - 8
7)Li Keqiang - 7
8)He Guoqiang - 4
9)Zhou Yongkang - 4Leadership average: 7
PSC Average: 5.4 New leadership(practically guaranteed)
President and General Secretary: Xi Jinping - 8
Premier: Li Keqiang - 7Leadership average: 7.5
7 Spots available and outside of any surprises(which are possible the Xi and Li were the only surprises last time around) there are 9 aspirants that fit with party traditions of appointing off of seniority, but not too old.
Those 9 contenders divide into essentially 6 "liberals" and 3 "hardliners".Liberals:
1) Wang Qishan - 8
2) Li Yuanchao - 7
3) Zhang Dejiang - 7
4) Liu Yandong - 6
5) Zhang Gaoli - 8
6) Wang Yang - 9Hardliners:
1) Liu Yunshan - 1
2) Yu Zhengsheng - 1
3) Bo Xilai - 0(if not worse)
Now it is widely believed that 3 of those listed are highly probable to receive Politburo Standing Committee appointment because of their 2 terms in the Politburo as opposed to 1(again selection is really seniority based) and there is one more person that pundits just think he's likely to be picked. The 3 contenders with 2 terms in the Politburo are Liu Yunshan(1), Yu Zhengsheng(1), and Zhang Dejiang(7). The person expected to get the #3 spot in the PSC is Li Yuanchao(7).Notes on 2 contenders.1) Yu Zhengsheng has a background in the development of military technology particularly the development of missiles. He is also the son in law of a People's Liberation Army Major General. Beijing normally doesn't promote anybody to top committee with military ties like this. His appointment is expected because of his 2 terms in the Politburo, but his appointment also means that we can expect military spending to increase under new leadership.2) Bo Xilai is the ultimate communist. Apparently while Mayor he liked to send out text messages to 13 million people in his city with "Mao sayings". Also he recently made a decree that "all districts, government departments, commercial corporations, universities, schools, state radio and TV stations to begin singing "red songs" praising the Communist party. He also seems to want to reinvigorate the country with Marxist ideals.Well he is in a "PR" campaign right now to build pressure on others to get himself appointed. At the same time current President Hu Jintao is secretly campaigning to kill any chance of the guy getting appointment. Usually when the President doesn't like you, your chances are slim, but apparently he has some supporters. So Bo is the one to watch. If he gets appointment that means hardliners are trying to trying to get back control of the PSC. If he doesn't get the appointment then you can expect the new leadership to even accelerate current moves to liberalize the economy and loosen control on the media.
It will be interesting to see how many other lenders make the same decision as Metlife. The shrinking number of lenders (which has already occurred as a result of bank failures) doesn't bode well for consumers. Lack of competition will ultimately make it easier for those lenders left standing to charge higher rates, fees, and provide poor service. Original article excerpt pasted below:MetLife to sell mortgage business, citing excessive regulation
by KERRI PANCHUKMetLife Bank, a division of insurer MetLife Inc. (MET: 30.6676 -3.41%), is selling the bank's mortgage business, citing uncertainty in the marketplace and a regulatory environment that requires excessive resources.The company said devoting people and capital to handle the regulatory environment in the mortgage space "would divert these resources away from MetLife's primary focus on its global insurance and employee benefits businesses."MetLife began originating mortgages through its MetLife Homes Loans division in 2008 and plans to continue writing reverse mortgages.The bank will originate new home loans and service existing mortgages while it looks for a buyer.In 2010, MetLife Home Loans ranked as the 11th largest mortgage servicer in the U.S., with its servicing business valued at $115.9 billion in the fourth quarter. The company also ranked 13th on the list of mortgage originators, holding 1.4% of the market and originating roughly $22 billion in mortgages last year.

Let me begin by saying that I know a lot of people are worse off then us, but after 2 yrs of trying to re-fi etc and get into another bigger home, it seems almost impossible. Im looking for some advice. We own a condo that we took a mortgage of $210K and now have the mortgage down to $193K. With a huge fixed rate of 6.75%... The appraisal value is now around $135K (3 independent appraisals trying to chase that magic #). We are backed by Fannie so we dont need to be physically appraised as theyll go by the # in the system which is $143K so I was excited to hear that, since that # is considerably higher than the $135K and closes the gap a bit. After trying to work w/several banks to re-fi (big, small, and local) including our current lender, we are hitting walls Technically, under HARP the 125% rule does not apply to us because of the way the mortgage was originally underwritten by Fannie. I am told that the best they can do is 97% which ultimately means that we need to come up with around ~$50K (not including closing costs etc) just to even re-fi our condo We want to buy a new home and rent the condo out, but the condo rent wont cover the mortgage (about $600 difference) So we need to re-fi to get the payment/rate way down to help close that $600 gap.Idea: Tough to pull off, but if we were to purchase a new home, hopefully a short-sale/foreclosure, could we pull the equity right out of the new home using a HELOC and use it toward the $50K needed to re-fi the condo? Any other creative advice (were trying not to just walk away)?

I have money that in theory is being saved for a house down payment but to be honest, I don't have a set timeframe in mind for when I want to buy. I suspect it won't be for at least 3-5 years, but it could be longer. I'm currently single and renting an apartment, which is working out fine for now. Nevertheless, I'm also trying to save a lot for the future.Online savings accounts are currently yielding only ~1% or so. CD's are a bit higher, but in exchange for locking your money up for an entire year, you are only getting an extra 0.30% in interest(http://www.fullofdeals.com/forums/finance/682884/). Bernanke has indicated that short-term interest rates will stay near 0 for the indefinite future, so I don't expect the savings and CD rates to rise anytime soon. Additionally, with the CD your house purchase is somewhat less flexible because the money is locked up for a set period of time. The money may not be available to you when you need it unless you break the CD and pay the penalty.The problem is that inflation is greater than 1%, and with a 3-5+ year time horizon, my savings are effectively losing purchasing power each year by sitting in a savings account. Stocks seem way to volatile for a 3-5+ year time horizon and for something like a house down payment (or are they? - maybe a small allocation would work?). What about a bond fund? I haven't done the math on the post-tax returns (both regular income and ST/LT capital gains are a factor here), but the historical data for a fund like VBMFX indicates that if you're holding it for a few years, you stand a good chance of coming out ahead vs. a savings account:http://finance.yahoo.com/q/pm?s=VBMFX+PerformanceOr is even that too risky for this purpose?I already max out my Roth IRA and 401k and don't really want to use my retirement savings for something like this.Another point I should mention is that while the houses I would ultimately like to buy cost $X, a typical basic "starter home" around here might cost anywhere from $0.5X to $0.75X. I've always heard about people "trading up" after owning a house for a few years, using the profits of the sale of the first house (which I believe are tax-free up to $500k) to help finance the down payment on the next one. Would it be a good strategy to buy the starter home sooner rather than later, then count on appreciation after a few years to be greater than what I could have saved by continuing to live in my apartment and saving money? I could then sell the starter house and use the profits to finance the down payment on the better house. Given the current state of the housing market, I'm not sure if this strategy is as viable as it once was, even though mortgage rates are at rock-bottom levels right now.I realize this post might get redded for being just another "What to do with $X?" post, but I did search ahead of time and do some research. All similar threads on here I could find were from 2005-2007, when HYSAs and CDs were yielding 5+%.
So I've been enrolled in Autopay for my Student Loans. Well today I noticed it didn't debit, and upon checking their website, they completely revamped it (Now it points to www.myedaccount.com). Which was expected. What I didn't expect was that my auto pay info was NOT carried over, and I missed a payment. Not to mention, the site is really messed up, its really lagging quite a bit. I suspect there are thousands of people out there trying to pay their late student loans.Questions..
- Has this happened to anyone else? Did you call and manage to get through to customer service?
- Will they report to the credit bureaus? It was due 10/7, and if I can get this damn thing to pay I'll pay it now, or call tomorrow and pay over the phone...
Hi.I'm getting ready to purchase my first home. I'm curious what other people here think of the current economic situation and how it relates to people like me (first time home buyers, self employed, etc). Is there anything I could do to limit my risk?[more detail]I've been a fatwallet lurker for years. I've learned a lot here. With the help of this site, I'm currently:
Debt free
Owner of my (successful) consulting business (4 years w/stable income.)
Maintain a good credit score (from 550 -> 770+)
Six months of full-worst-case business expenses in the bank.
About 25k saved for down payment/moving/etc costs.I'm out in East Texas. There wasn't a 'real estate bubble' here. I want to keep my child in the same free charter school for the next 5 years so I'm limited to where I can look. I've been trying to "get a deal" as my wife says. I've looked exclusively at foreclosures, short sales, etc. I've found a home in a local development that's about 75% full. The 3/2 house goes for about $25/sq.ft. Checking the other homes in the area - a home of the same size was foreclosed on for about $36/sq.ft. a few months ago. Homes of the same size (3/2 & 4/2) are going for $45-$70/sq.ft. I can easily put up a wall in a 'game room' and make it a 4BR home to increase value later (years of fatwallet makes me think like this). Overall the house looks good. Good access to roads/highways. Very minor issues (fence needs a couple of posts fixed, paint, carpet, etc.).I've been pre-approved by USAA. I'm ready to put 15% down - although the loan requires only 5% down. Highly considering doing th eminimum down payment. Any disadvantages? My fear is that even though I think I'm making some good moves here (trying to buy a 20%-40% discounted home), is this a horrible time to buy a home? Does buying a discounted home help reduce the risk?Thanks Again!PM
Apple.com dropped the price of their refurbished iPad (1st generation) 16 GB WiFi only to $299 with free shipping:http://store.apple.com/us/product/FB292LL/A?mco=MjEzNzc0NTkThe advantage of purchasing it from Apple is that is comes with a 1 year warranty.

USENET: NewsgroupDirect Tuesday Only Block Deal: 1TB for $50
NewsgroupDirect is running their Terabyte Tuesday promo again today, same deal they have been running the last few months, 1TB usenet block for $50.Try ngd201109140852 it may nock off 20% http://www.newsgroupdirect.com/blog/2011/10/11/terabyte-tuesday-...You pay $50 and you get 1.1TB worth of downloads from usenet (they give you an extra 100GB). It never expires, there is no monthly fee for anything. When you run out of block space you just won't be able to download anymore, you are not charged for anythingWell think about it, alot of people out there don't download that much. Maybe a few things a month like me, like let's say a couple 720P/1080P h.264 mkv rips or whatever, which is less then 50GB a month. So someone buying this block pays $50 for 1.1TB and if they download 50GB from Usenet a month, a 1.1TB block will last them 22 months, which comes out to $2.27 a month that they paid. Just do the math, if you're a heavy downloader then obviously an unlimited plan makes sense.The only time I would do an unlimited plan is if I was just starting a collection, but since I've been using torrents for years and usenet now for the past few months, I have almost everything. I just grab a few new releases a month that I want and that's it.Thanks Gigahertz21
ShopRite is selling Rayovac batteries, 18 AA, and 18 AAA's for $2.99. Til Sat, Oct 15th.
They are also selling 3 ct pkg, 9 volts, 6 ct pkg C, or D's for $2.99 but this is nothing special.I see Rayovac is not offering any coupons from their site, but I think you can go on Facebook and say "Like," Rayovac, and get a coupon for $1. With all the coupons around Facebook, from Quickcheck to Snyders, why add one "Like" to Rayovac. Too many note's! More power to the people, isn't that what the Wall Street protesters are doing! Now they can have their flashlights, and protest during the night! LOL.....Marv

This guy has been ripping patients off. I understand there is shortage of primary care physicians, but this guy has most of his staff if not entirely composed of RNs and PAs. I dont hold anything against them IF they know what they are doing. I am myself studying medicine, and 9/10 times I knew more than the RN or PA that was attending me. I only had to visit office to get vaccinations, flu shots etc but even then, im sure just like an average person, I was confused "why are they making me pee in a cup every single time ???" I had worked in a clinical lab before starting med school. A few years ago... the cost to run a regular Urine Dipstick test was soemthing like $0.36 cents and the insurance would get charged $35-$40 at minimum. That was hospital rate where I worked. Sure would be different in diff. states, hospitals and doctors offices. Im surprised over 30 years, having 29 practices in the state of Mass. this guy is being charged for ONLY $500K worth of fraud ? I can guarantee its alot alot more than that. I personally feel that small businesses are driving engine of our economy. But in the past few years, small businesses have been taking advantage of hard working americans and not paying them fairly. Making people work overtime (esp. salaried staff) under the fear of "Bad Economy", loosing jobs, etc. Sure things are bad, but even then small business owners have been making $$$. (not all... but I have seen numerous examples). Though this guys 29 practices are not necessarily Small Business.... but something on the same lines. Hiring few doctors, never being himself available.... and trashing people's health. Some sites have even said that he was treating some patients addiction only to start/give them a new one with the treating med.
Rant over !Now the jist of the story... I have changed my primary care doctor now. However, since all his offices are closed, I cant seem to find a way to get my medical records from his office to my new doctor. This is very aggrevating now.... I have called Board of Medicine in Mass. and they have said that "They dont keep records". I dont know what to do..... any suggestions ??? Another link to enjoy... http://www.wwlp.com/dpp/news/i_team/Doctor-charged-with-medicaid...

Identity Theft RingI recall mentioning on another thread talking about someone else making another card using a precious metal on your own account if you wanted to make a custom card in reference to someone else with a JP Morgan Chase Palladium credit card. Little did I know there was an identity theft ring that was sophisticated doing just that but not with precious metals or their own accounts but stealing other peoples accounts and in essense stealing from the banks and vendors themselves. Fortunately there was oversight getting rid of these folks and arresting them.Apparently this ring was doing this long before I even mentioned it.
Someone told me that I am being turned into the DEA and IRS for making a large cash deposit. I'm curious if this is really true and in reality have other people had any issues after making a large CASH deposit?Background: My bank sent me a letter about opening a NEW savings account with new money (must be new money outside the bank, not a transfer, not a check from same bank). I went to one branch, withdrew 25K in cash (which was weird, it was much thicker than I thought since I never had that much cash ever in my hands!) then turned around and deposited it into the new savings account as new money later that day at a different branch. Both times they asked for my ID and a few other simple questions (address, dl#, and I think that is it). Obviously, this is a legitimate transaction and I'm not a drug dealer but I was just curious how often honest people like me get questioned about this type of transaction? Anyone here have any experience in making large cash deposits?
I drive stripped down cars without any options. That's just how I roll. My wife has a rinky dink sedan and wants something bigger for our 2 young children. We've settled on a Chevy Traverse. Please, no stories about how buying a new car is dumb or how awesome Crown Vics are! 2011 Chevy Traverse LS
Sticker: $30,100
Invoice: $28,600
Negotiated to: $27,500
-$2000 rebate
-$1000 GM Loyalty
-$3300 GM Card savings (credit card I accumulate 5% off a GM car)Total: $21,200 plus tax ($22,600)$1100 under invoice. It didn't take a ton of convincing to get them down that far. My concern is I asked how long the car has been on the lot and they've had it for 361 days! Doing some research I found a Chevy Traverse owners' forum. There's a sticky thread where people post which model they got, the sticker and what they actually paid. Out of 100+ posts I can't find a single person that bought one with a sticker under $33,000. They are almost always well-equipped, according to that forum. So that got me thinking, maybe this car just wouldn't sell for this dealership because people like them with options.Do you guys think I can hit them harder or at this point are they getting close to a loss? I forgot to tell them if they pull any doc fee BS I'm going to walk, which I will.Thanks in advance for any input!
I keep wondering with the current situation in the US with the economy, health care, entrepreneurial competition , what options a person could have to start a business in an under-developed or a developing country (South America, parts of Asia). From whatever I have researched business models and opportunities vary wildly when compared to the US and some businesses that we take for granted in the western world can never be successful.I know of a few people (some indirectly) who were born and brought-up here but decided to move out completely to another country to start a business venture. It might be a fluke but all 3 of them have been successful and are very happy with their decision. It did take them a few years of hard work and about $200K (average) investment out of pocket but they have been able to re-coup their investments within the first couple of years they were operational and make very good money (close to a mil a year). I am fascinated by their stories and the by the fact that they have been successful in areas that were completely new to them. Below is what they have doneCase 1 (Thailand) Opened a seafood export business, where he procures locally sourced fish, freezes them and exports to other countries. He had to invest in a large cold storage facility but he has done very well for himself.Case 2 (Costa Rica) Started a company to import steel and cement, to supply the general boom in his county of operation. He had to invest in a large warehouse to store the stuff he imported but seems to be making close to a mil a year (net) just in his 3rd year of operationCase 3 (Sir Lanka) Started a shipping business by leasing containers to exporters and importers from his country of operation.In all the cases, these are business you probably would never typically venture into as an entrepreneur. All 3 of them worked in the software industry and worked for about a decade in one of the top 5 largest employers in the Silicon Valley. None of them had any wealth from a startup windfall and have started this from scratch. In a couple of cases they even had to learn the local language before they could really move forward butWould you ever think of doing anything like this? Apart from the quality of life and lack of other western creature comforts, what other issues one might have if they plan to embark on such a venture.I am always tempted to see what options I personally might have but have any of you folks thought about it ? Do you know of other such success stories?

As I understand it, there used to be (through 2008 anyway) various (shady?) companies that would pay to use an elderly person's life-insurability. (Called STranger or investor Owned Life Insurance - STOLI or IOLI). In other words, they would pay an older person, say $5k or $10k or more maybe, to take out a life insurance policy on them (to resell to an investor). They were healthy people. State governments and insurance companies frowned on this, and it's probably not available anymore. BUT it does suggest that it's a good deal for a healthy 70 year old to use their own insurability by buying life insurance (on themselves for their heirs) - as an investment (YES I SAID IT!) - even if it's not needed as an estate tax planning tool. It is possible, from what I understand, that so many people over-pay for policies which they let lapse each year, that the insurance (mutual) companies can afford to sell policies which are a good deal to people who fund/use them optimally. I know the conventional wisdom is that life insurance is generally NOT a good investment. But apparently investors thought it was worthwhile in some cases. Any thoughts on whether it might make sense in this case: life insurance as an investment (for healthy 70 year-old), and if so, what kind?

Kmart has a wide variety of Joe Boxer swimwear on clearance for $2.99 plus shipping which starts at around $5 which may kill the deal for some people but if you need multiple items then it is a good price or you can check to see if they have the free ship to a store near you option available, it wasn't available on most of the items I purchased. I ended up getting 3 swimsuits with the mesh lining and 2 board shorts without mesh lining for $14.95 + $7.75 Shipping + $1.78 tax = $24.48
It comes out to around 5 bucks a pair delivered and that is a good deal to me .Joe Boxer Swimwear Clearance

Hey I am looking for what ever advice I can get... I recently graduated from college and I have been working for a start up IT company doing support. I am currently making 45 K and in my department theres only me and my boss. I like the company its still small but I see potential for lots of growth meaning there might be lots of growth for me too as well as the department but I am hoping since I am one of the first people in it my position will get higher as we hire more employees for the department. Hours are sort of crazy because its a start up currently I am putting in over 55-60 hours a week (unpaid overtime). I am expecting a promotion at this job soon but even then I think my pay might only go up 5ish%I have a job offer from a company my cousin works for, its a similar job (less challenging because I will only work with one software unlike my current job where I am expected to learn and use many different software programs) This job is a contract/consultant position with a starting pay of 90K and usually 40 hours a week but it comes with paid overtime. It is an 18 month contract and then I would have to take 3 months off with out pay and then can get offered another contract for another cycle. (depending on the quality of my work) I know more money and less work hours seems like the obvious choice, but I was hoping some FWF members could help me out since I just entered the real world job market. I see a lot of room for advancement at my current company (if it makes it big) and more responsibility. With my current company I also get the chance to travel to client locations which does seem like fun (but I havent gone on a trip yet so I am not sure how it will be) I also lovee my manager at my current company (but the ceo and coo do expect alot from their employees, almost 90% of the staff is putting in just as many hours as me,, if not more).
Sorry for the long message and I am not sure if this is even what should be posted here but if anyone could give me their opinion I would greatly appreciate it.Thanks

Searched, only found an expired thread for the same price, not referring to Newegg.
Here's the link to the product. No coupon needed. Probably one of the best prices right now.
Yes, it's only 2.4x, but the quality and price more than makes up for this (DL DVDs very rarely seem to get any cheaper than that). People use it for backup DVDs and BD9s.

Yesterday I was contacted by Getty Images concerning a single thumbnail sized
computer-related photo I had used on my website... the letter stated the photo
was their property and that I must...1. Cease using the photo, which I immediately did.
2. Pay a fee of $800.00 to then to settle the dispute. Apparently this is a similar tactic to the one used by Monster Cable, RIAA,
and other entities to scare people into ponying up cash. I am placing this
on Fatwallet so others may become more aware of this scam. To give you some details1. There was no indication or marker on the image that gave it claim of
ownership nor copyright. No image rights nor record were found on it at all. 2. Getty Images has provided no information as to it's claim of copyright.
I was given no Library of Congress case # for the image or image set.3. The image is very "generic" and could be confused for another image of
similar use. I strongly suggest others look over their websites to use images that are
freely licensed, and that you check with an attorney before forking
over money to Getty Images. http://extortionletterinfo.com/

This is a calorie counter from 24HourFitness.com that you wear, and it tracks how much calories you burn throughout the day. It's advantage over the similar functioned fitbit (which just measures movement) is that it uses both an accelerometer and a heat sensor (to detect changes in body temp on the skin) as well as galvanic skin response (see info on how it works)
It comes with 6 mo. free subscription

I seem to be having problems linking anyway copy/paste:

If you enter code BG30QYUVL2 the price drops to $69
however the Biggest Loser Edition" is the same thing w/a 12 mo. subscription - use coupon code AFPBUGGV399 to get the price to drop to $99also as an FYI - there's an "SP" version which allows you to access your info via smartphone ("SP")Reviews:
People seem to be happy with the device though accuracy is not 100%, and paid subscriptions is a downer, lastly (as with all such devices) if you use it to enter food intake, it's a hassle - ie requires dedication - but for exercise tracking it looks great (I ordered one myself)
review #1
summarized review
some reviews of the Biggest Loser Edition from AmazonNote - you'll need to register (free) in order for the coupon code(s) to work.
Also note there is some activity online regarding a hack to track online without a subscription.
I hope this is not a repost, but I searched and didn't find a post to it, and I think it's a great deal

I've done my best to try to keep my spirits up and downplay some of the economic data I've seen here in the US and around the world, but my ability to look on the bright side, downplay, and sometimes ignore some of this negative data has meet its end. I now need some others to find for me the good economic news that I've overlooking.
This is what I've been able to avoid dealing with until now:
1) The United States economic position is extremely weak. Average household balance sheets are in the toilet. Defaults are on the rise. Persistent unemployment is not only causing many people's balance sheets to get worse, but is also worsening the fiscal situation of the United States. Furthermore, even if we do get out of this mess we get hit with almost immediate headline inflation because of the leveraging out the huge bank reserves at Fed(MB).2) Greece is going to default. Its no longer a question of "If" its going to happen, but "when" its going to happen. Right now Europe is just delaying the inevitable while hoping that a miracle will happen to prop up Europe from taking a crushing blow when that day happens. A miracle that is pretty much guaranteed to not happen.3) No matter what measures are being taken in the rest of the PIIGS bond and CDS pressure is continuing to mount meaning that a default in Greece isn't going to be able to stop a cascade of events to the other countries. The European bailout fund will never have the resources to prop up a country like Italy. Its just too big.4) Even non PIIGS are no longer immune. This last scare over the last few weeks have even driven up French vs. German CDS spreads to historically high levels. The market is sending the signal that once its starts spreading even a stronger country like France will feel the brunt of it.5) This is also outside of the fact that as this happens almost every bank in Europe with large exposure to Greek, Portuguese, Spanish, Irish, or Italian sovereign debt(which is most banks in Europe) will either have to be bailed out or let fail further straining the European system and their government balance sheets.6) This whole situation could easily spread to another high government debt to GDP country, Japan. With the country sitting at well over 200% debt to GDP all it takes is a rise of 100 basis pts and debt service to the country outstrips revenue forcing a default. Many may argue that Japan has held up for sometime in this seemingly tenuous position, but it doesn't change the fact that one day Japan will be hit hard for the position its put itself in. And if sovereign debt risk becomes scary enough to investors its perfectly reasonable to assume that day of reckoning could come if things get bad enough in Europe.7) The world is waiting for someone out there to become the consumers of all their production. As each country tries to devalue to make their production more attractive to somewhere else in the world, other countries follow suit. Going into this crisis the US accounted for over 1/3 of the worlds consumption. North America and Europe combined accounted for well over 60% of the worlds consumption. If American consumers balance sheets are still in dire straights and Europe is pulling back, who in the world is going to step up and buy??
Okay, now for a while I was willing to paper over all of that. I also sounded the alarms about China a little less than a year ago. The Chinese property and manufacturing market is in a bubble I don't think the world has ever seen before. Huge vacant cities that continue to be built on. Massive over production in its manufacturing sector. Both of which only very recently have started to halt, and now we are looking at a free fall in China.Just look at this footage from back in March
China's Property BubbleAnd up until very recently building was still continuing at high pace. In recent weeks a bunch of China's property developers have had their bonds trading at 70 cents on the dollar and falling in anticipation of massive defaults in the property sector. What has happened over the last year or so in China has grown increasingly scary. First they were prime borrowers from the state run banks. Then they were subprime borrowers. After being cut off from the state owned banks they floated billions of dollars in bonds to the international markets. That is now closed off. Then they went to China's trust banks paying interest between 35% and 90% a year to stay afloat. Since that spigot was turned off they've gone to underground banks with a minimum interest of 10% a month. CEO's are fleeing the country and their companies because they are on the verge of default. And since sales are slowing fast many of these developers will be forced into fire sales to try to meet their debt payments.Furthermore, Brazil, Australia, and much of the developing world is dependent upon the "China bid" to maintain its high production of commodities then they are in a very weak spot when this mess comes to a head.But what put the nail in the coffin for me was when I recently found out that estimates of China's *implicit* government debt is now approximately 200% of GDP. Now its important to note the word implicit. China has next to 0% debt on its government books. But its state owned enterprises and provincial governments have huge untold amounts of debt that have been up until now believed to have been backed by the Chinese government. Think about how Dubai World related to Dubai the Emirate and you have the right idea. So that means the Chinese government is powerless to stop what is about to hit its shores.And that got me thinking, if Japan is at over 200% of GDP in debt, Europe is at about 140% of GDP in debt, the US is at about 110% of GDP in debt(with extremely high growth in liabilities) and China now has 200% of GDP in implicit debt than who in God's name is left that isn't indebted up to their eyeballs?
I'm sorry guys for posting such a downer post, but right now I'm hoping somebody out there has some good news I'm overlooking because I need it. I've always prided myself on being an optimist and more easily a bull than a bear, but I'm really struggling here and I need some help from the Fatwallet community.
Hi everyone, First time post please be gentle. I'm currently on FMLA from my job but will be returning to work in a few weeks. My problem is I found the perfect house in a neighbor I love and as the saying goes it loction, location, location. It's the dog of the neighborhood but I have the vision to see it just needs some love to be a great home for me. With me being out on FMLA the bank I was pre-qualified with wont give me a loan because I guess they have had experiences in the past with people not returning to work so therefore they were not able to pay mortgage. I am using credit cards to come up with the money for the cash offer that was accepted by Fannie Mae as well as money I had in the bank for a 20% down payment when I was working and looking for a home. My question is what should I do when I go back to work ,and have proof of income, take out a home equity loan or a home equity line of credit. The purchase price is $68k. I am a member of a credit union as well as having an account with a bank if that helps any with advice you may give. Thanks so much for any help you can give me. The credit cards Im using have 0% for either 12 or 18 months with 3% balance trans fee.
I have two discover more cards, old one has 8K CL and new one has 5K limit. want to move some credit limit from old card to the new card. I called the number on the back of the card, and was declined. I searched on this forum and only found some old post, and most people said it was impossible to reallocate credit limits between two discover cards, but some people said they succeeded. Those posts were in 2007 and 2008.
Does anyone have some newer experiences doing this? Thanks.

Version 1.
Do the older, seasoned FWFers have any tips and advice for those fresh out of college or grad school looking to make an honest living?There are two important things that need to be done by a person in that situation:1. Finding a good job (decent pay, good work-life balance, reduced likelihood of burnout)2. Keeping that good job (not being layed off, fired, being replaced by technology, losing govt job due to budget cuts)
A lot of employers are simply not hiring much, and a lot who are hiring seem to be offering a lot of temp and contractor jobs
instead of full time jobs with benefits. Any advice on getting a full time job with benefits or are young people supposed to make
do with what's offered and wait a few years to get a better job? (this is for people with either a college or master's degree in
a variety of field, no one specific major necessarily) How can you stand out from the rest? So many people are applying, it's going to be
tough to be picked out of 200 or 500 applicants. What do employers seek the most? Confidence, good degrees, language skills? If the person is fortunate enough to find a good job that pays well, how can he or she increase the chances of keeping that job?
I've also read that you should rent instead of buying a house, and that if you buy a house you should only do so if you know you're
going to live there at least 5 years. I think that makes sense, it wouldn't be wise to buy a house and then have to move out just 2 or
3 years later. But how can you really control that? The company might send you to a different location in another city, or simply layoff
a lot of people. I've also seen well qualified, senior level employees who move around a lot, switching positions and locations
every 3 or 4 years. It seems the job market is very fluid and a lot of people are not sticking to one job or location for too long.
Finally, how realistic is it to start your own business and be your own employer, like having a home business?
Or else working for someone else but doing a lot of "telecommuting" where you do 90 percent of your work at home on the computer
and do a lot of phone calling and teleconferences? I think jobs that can be done in your pajamas in a comfy home office or at the beach
via internet and phone have a lot of appeal, but are rare to find. I know a few people who are able to do that, but not many. They still
work long hours and have to be on the ball, but at least they can do so from a mountain resort, living room, home office, instead of a little cubicle or hectic office
wearing a necktie and suit jacket. The work might be intense but the environment would be calm and relaxing.I do think that the age of Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, eBay, smartphones, telecommuting has brought in new employment styles and opportunities,
but how likely is it for someone to make a consistent monthly income from that? You can network much more easily and
reach potential clients or employers much more easily in the digital age, but how can you translate that into a consistent,
well paid job or business?I hope this starts a good discussion on a very important topic. All human beings need food, lodging, decent health care,
clothes, and a way to advance in life. For those of use who don't have a trust fund or an uncle who's chairman of the board, we're going to have to find a decent job to survive. I'm also looking forward to reading the 2011 edition of the yearly Career Thoughts and Compensation Thread Good info there as well.

I'm really tired of all the loopholes available for people to avoid paying taxes. We all use the resources provided from the federal government, we should all have to pay for them, right?Am I crazy? Here's my plan.5% Flat Tax - Everyone pays 5% of their gross income to taxes no matter how much or how little you make.
Deductions:
Having Dependent Children - until they are married or 21, whichever happens first ($1000 credit per kid)
Pre-Tax contributions to retirement plans, never to be taxed even when cashed out at age 65.Businesses should not have to pay any federal taxes at all, as a business entity.Here are my reasons.Like I typed earlier, everyone has the same resources available so everyone should be paying for them. Even if you're on welfare or social security, if you're getting a paycheck from somewhere other than you're own savings or retirement you should be paying some taxes back on that money. Sounds a little funny paying the government back on money they're paying you but maybe people won't rely so much on the government if they knew they still had to pay taxes on those dollars.Deductions for having kids because those people are providing the next generation of people who are going to support the economy. Sorry folks but without kids the world will die. I know when I'm old and retired I want some young hot looking thing serving me drinks at my restaurant of choice, not some old fart like myself. Kids = future tax collections.Deductions for contributing to retirement to encourage people to be fiscally responsible and save as much as they can so they are not dependent on the government in any way in their old age. Not to be taxed going in and not to be taxed going out so that everyone has as much as possible when they retire. No fear of having that nest egg shrink considerably when it's time to withdraw. There'd have to be a pre-set age on this, we don't want people thinking they can "retire" at 35 and cash out only to re-enter the workforce at 37 again, rinse and repeat.As far as I'm concerned, it's none of the government's business how much medical expenses I have, if I'm using my land for agricultural use, if I'm driving a "green" vehicle, or anything else that's a current tax exemption to some degree or another.Why on earth should a business pay taxes as an entity just so it's employees can turn around and pay taxes again on that same exact money? This has always baffled me. Whether people get money from their stocks/investments or a paycheck as an employee - it's all taxed again after the business records it's profits. This is really bad business. We should be encouraging businesses - not disabling them by making them pay to operate when all the employees are already paying. If they didn't have to pay so many taxes, maybe they could hire more employees - who would then turn around and pay some taxes.I would love to have a non-mud-slinging discussion about this. Anyone else have thoughts on the matter?

Apparently it can be transferred to another computer if you buy a new computer
9/28 UPDATE: Above deal has expired - the next best price available is for a 20% discount (19.96 per lic coupon code 5MU-NBU-DFR @ http://www.malwarebytes.org. Same great program - lifetime lic/transferable Also available for $19.00 (DVD) @ Amazon.com (price seems to fluctuate) Purchased myself - registered - no problem. Long time user of malwarebytes (free version). Why did I buy it if I can get it free? Free version is great but you have to manually run it. Paid version automatically runs and stops things before they get on your computer. How many of us remember to do things in a timely manner? This program has been a lifesaver for many people. Computers, like cars need preventative maintenance (cheap insurance). I would recommend it to anyone that they download the free version of malwarebytes and run it whether they go for this deal or not. Just my own opinion, please do your own research.
HP Touchpads went back on sale at 9am PST--both the 16GB and 32GB are available. They are ONLY available if you have a true HP EPP account (ie you are or were an HP employee). Limit 1, and no discounts/free shipping apply. Sorry, I didn't dare post this until my order was processed Ultra-Super Clarification: This is only for Current and former HP Employees. You need an EPP account with prices that have a blue "HP EPP" tag beside them, or you won't even see the touchpads. Most people have accounts with yellow tags that only say "EPP", which are just affiliate accounts and not HP Employee accounts.
Edit: Seems like the SAVE15HP code will work, so it effectively negates the shipping. Too late for me, though.

I got a new PAYING job a month ago but here is why:A year ago I got a job (full time W2 in TX), it is a start up but about 2 years old. When was hired, was told that the company has enough cash to last for 2 years without any additional investments. Last March money problems started to be semi-apparent: little holds before we are paid, some last minute account to account transfer before pay check distribution. One time my pay check got bounced but it was immediately rectified. Then in April we had to be 3 weeks without pay, were waiting for some investment to come in (I guess it was dry by then). We were promised a bonus to carry on in a time of difficulty. It was a good company, good team, loved the people, company with a potential, decided to weather the storm. So, money came but just a little, a bonus that was promised got pushed further toward end of summer. At least then I was even on funds. Suddenly all sales and probably marketing people were let go in May (to cut the fat off, as they said). Then comes June and the pause in payment returns, unfortunately it was here to stay but I failed to recognize the signs or was ignorant due to being optimistic. Looks like the company was trying to get investments but most opportunities have flopped, investors were not interested. There was a talk that the terms for investment were too favorable (due to being desperate), it raised a flag with those who initially wanted to invest big time. There were some small investments coming enough to give us some small partial amount toward our normal pay. Thing is, the pay was constantly promised to be like tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, a false hope. It would go this way, a pay day would be scheduled to be Monday, on Monday they would give some excuse to move it to Wednesday, on Wednesday they would swear on their mother it would be Thursday, so Thursday it would just not happen, on Friday you will be unable to reach anyone, another weekend without paying bills, on Monday they would promise on blood that Wednesday is the day, on Wednesday nothing will happen, on Thursday there will be a new excuse that would push it to Friday when, again, there will be no one to update you on the status. Week after week.At first it was not as apparent, later on we caught on the pattern, we got pep talk, were promised money that was just around the corner. Not that we believed it but we searched for a new job while working for this one. At least they could have fired us so we could collect some money through unemployment... Some internal talk was that we could just quit and still apply for unemployment due to no pay but it seemed questionable we would qualify since no one we knew has ever done it. I guess it was more scary to quit and not qualify for unemployment for some reason. In the beginning it was also a bit scary to quit, what if money really showed up the next day in the amount to keep the company afloat for another year or so...Anyway, it has gone on for about 2 months. During that time we started to work from home to save on gas, childcare, etc. In the middle of the August I was put on furlough even though I was actively looking for a new job since I was seriously behind some bills. Most problematic is that I had no action plan on saving money initially since the paycheck seemed to be 100% guaranteed to be just in a few days. Believing that I have made a few regular expenses I could have saved if knew I wouldn't be paid.So, now I am owned about $8K+ minimum, not talking about promised bonuses. The company continues to operate with skeleton crew (not quite sure if they are paid or what), most of my co-workers are employed elsewhere. The company is still hunting for that white whale that will bring it to its previous glory. I found a better company with better opportunities and more pay. However, because of the previous company's cheating big wigs, I had to eat cheap crap for 2 months (about $4 a day), I gained weight because of all the pasta and other similar food, I still eat crap because even though I started working a month ago, I get paid regularly, I still pay off the bills from the summer time.What can I do? Is there any hope at getting paid? At least then I would be able to afford a new used car since mine is getting unreliable. Right now I cannot even save anything until Christmas because the money go to all the places and people where I got some to ride a wave half drowning...All my previous co-workers are pissed as well, some have families, it was even tougher on them.
There have been several deals recently for MartinLogan speakers including the MartinLogan Motion 10 and 12 speakers. Some people may be interested in a center channel/surround speaker to complete their system and I found the MartinLogan Encore TF on sale at Amazon for $199 shipped -MartinLogan Encore TF Center Channel SpeakerI haven't heard this speaker but it has good reviews on Amazon. I believe it is discontinued which explains the markdown from $500.Edit: I read the description for this speaker in detail and it can be mounted vertically and used as a surround speaker as well as a horizontal center channel speaker. Also, I'm not sure of the reason for the Mods' comments about the link. I'm sure I made a direct link to the speaker on Amazon.

Any stories here about people who you knew who used a Credit Card, didn't think they had to pay, maxed it out, bought everything they heavenly desired at will and messed up their credit score and no longer can get credit?In my life I know way too many people who did just this. It is sad when people can't control their own finances.

Apparently it can be transferred to another computer if you buy a new computer
I made this posting (deal) after doing a little research on bitsdujour myself. Could find no negatives. Purchased myself - registered - no problem. Long time user of malwarebytes (free version). Why did I buy it if I can get it free? Free version is great but you have to manually run it. Paid version automatically runs and stops things before they get on your computer. How many of us remember to do things in a timely manner? This program has been a lifesaver for many people. Computers, like cars need preventative maintenance (cheap insurance). I would recommend it to anyone that they download the free version of malwarebytes and run it whether they go for this deal or not. Just my own opinion, please do your own research.
Hey guys I know that the MAC version was mis priced this previous week and people got a smoking deal on them but I came across a 2 TB Western Digital * WINDOWS * ( for those afraid of changing the settings on MAC drives ) for $75 with free shipping.

Hi Everyone,This is my first post in the finance forum. I'll try to not make this too long.Ok, so my wife and I moved into a new rental about a month and a half ago. After we lived there two weeks we started trying to drink water out of the fridge door (which has built in water and ice). Upon dispensing the water into the class we noticed it was slightly cloudy and had an odd smell about it. So, I tried to diagnose what the issue was. I unhooked the fridge from the wall, and proceeded to pump water into a clear bucket so I could see what it looked like. This water was far more cloudy than the water coming out of the door, and contained large chunks of white and green stuff. I reported the issue online to my property manager that night, and my wife called the next day. This was a month ago now.They sent out one of their maintenance people to look at it, and he didn't do anything but listen to my wife and then said a plumber needed to come out. About a week and a half later, and plumber came out, and didn't do anything but pour a glass from the door of the fridge, and said the issue was the fridge and then left. About two weeks later, which was last week, I called the property management company, who said we now needed to have a fridge repairman come out to fix the issue. I said that the issue is not the fridge, and the fridge is actually doing a decent job clearing the water, considering the amount of crap in it before entering the fridge. I explained to them that the issue was reported a month ago, and accoring to my lease they have to repair it within 7 days or I can fix it and abate my rent. The lady I spoke with told me I couldn't do that, because my lease says that they just have to make a reasonable effort to repair the issue, which they "were doing". So, here is a copy of the relevant portion of my lease, I guess I am asking for any advice on the issue. Thanks for any input.13. G) Tenant must give Landlord written notice of any conditions of facilities and appliances that need repair. Landlord shall make reasonable efforts to remedy any conditions that are obligations of landlord under this Agreement within seven (7) days after receiving the notice. If Landlord makes a reasonable attempt to adequately remedy the condition prior to the deadline, then this Agreement shall not terminate. Tenant is only permitted to abate rent or take other action permitted by law if Landlord fails to remedy the condition prior to the deadline.

A few weeks back, we received our water bill for last quarter; a staggering $563 for 3 people with 55,000 gallons of water used. The previous quarters were around $250 or so. After doing some initial thinking between my roommates and I, we recognized that we have a toilet in the basement of our house that is almost never used that we remembered was leaking due to the flapper not shutting all the way earlier in the year. At that point in time (June), we had contacted our landlord right away and told him of the problem, which he supposedly fixed.After getting the bill, we went and actually checked the toilet, and low and behold the flapper still would not close unless the handle was played with (and even then, only sometimes it would close). Upon inspection (September 2011), the flapper had not been replaced at all. We called our landlord who, long story short said that he was here in early August and saw the toilet was running at the time. We know that we didn't use the toilet, but it is possible that one of our guests we had over during a get-together did. Our landlord said it was our responsibility to watch our guests...Our idea we proposed to our landlord was simple: Split the difference of the current water bill, so if it was normally $250, and it was $560, split it so we each pay $155, that way we each take responsibility (us for not noticing the running toilet in the basement, his for not having a broken toilet in the first place.He responded with saying the lease it says "Landlord pays no utilities" and that as 20-something year olds, we should know how to jiggle a handle, but he would think about it. I responded with that he acknowledges that we told him of the problem in June and that under an ordinary circumstance, juggling the handle would be a temporary fix, which I agree to, but the toilet was not properly fixed in a full month. I also stated that there is no shut-off valve for the toilet itself so that after the first incident, we couldn't even turn off the toilet if we wanted to (which we do).No response 5-days later from him.What can I do?Facts / Sparknotes:
June: we notice basement toilet flapper does not shut. We call landlord who acknowledges problem and "fixes" it by pushing the flapper closed.July 25: We have social gathering. Toilet gets used at some point in time.Early August: Landlord notices toilet is running again and pushes flapper closed.Late August: We get water bill for $560, $310 more than normal billEarly September: Contact landlord, we offer to split the difference of the bill. He never gives answer but implies we should be responsible due to "Landlord Pays no Utilities" in LeaseLandlord never replaced the broken flapper, nor has disconnected toilet even though it was requested.In Lease it states landlord is responsible for working order of the structure and supplied appliances in house. Should I email him back? If he says no, go to small claims court? Our lease expires on May 25, 2012

National Taco Day, this year, also coincides with Cha Chas already successful Tuesday promotion, Tacos & Tequila Tuesday, where guests can enjoy 50 percent off all Cha Chas tacos and tequila all night long.Cha Chas taco selection includes:Shrimp Chipotle cabbage, mango habanero salsa
Carnitas Grilled pineapple and chipotle salsa
Carne Asada Roasted guajillo salsa

Portobello Mushroom Organic greens, pico de galloNational Taco Day celebrates the history of the taco. The taco predates the arrival of Europeans in Mexico. There is anthropological evidence that the indigenous people living in the lake region of the Valley of Mexico traditionally ate tacos filled with small fish. Writing at the time of the Spanish conquistadors, Bernal Daz del Castillo documented the first taco feast enjoyed by Europeans, a meal which Hernn Corts arranged for his captains in Coyoacn. There is no record of why the Spanish used their word, taco, to describe this indigenous food.Cha Chas Tacos & Tequilas is located in Brea Downtown at 110 W. Birch St, Brea, CA 92821.http://www.chachasbrea.com/

I got an invitation from VISA to receive their exclusive Black Card. Turns out Im one of only 1% of U.S. residents that qualify for it. Id have to pay $500 a year for the privilege of using it though. Never mind that with my current MasterCard, they PAY ME back $400-$500 per year with their 1% Cash Back program. They say the card is made with carbon and is guaranteed to get you noticed. If you stick it to your forehead? Do people actually fall for this crap? And the interest rate is no better at 15%, than many other cards, not withstanding the fact that most people that can afford the card will pay off the balance each month.

Hi,
i'm ready to pull the trigger on purchasing a house now and I was hoping to suggestions as to getting the best deal?
Are MLS properties priced too high? Are there better alternatives without having to buy a cash clunker (I want to finance and not buy cash)?
Im basically looking to buy a place that used to cost $500k-$600k for around $300k which you can find in the "recently sold" listings on trulia etc but no houses seem be be MLS listed at those prices. As to the location, I was trying to find a 3BR 1600-2000sf house in the 33134 or nearby areas.
Thought this would be the right forum from likeminded people who always want a deal. Thanks in advance.
I am thinking of doing a BT to my chase card. My limit is $5500. The terms say that if you request more than 80% of your limit, Chase may deny it. What are people's experiences with this. I randomly punched some numbers in to see if Chase imposed the limit. The most the online form would let me transfer is $4670, which is more than 80%
Car: 2009 Volkswagen Rabbit
83k miles (travel for work)Orignally financed 1/09 @ 6.9% (VW Financing)Refinanced 6/10 @ 3.79% for 48 months. (local credit union)Have been paying extra for many months and currently have $7668.11 left to pay.Monthly payments are $309.34.Local Credit Union is offering re-fi special of 1.99% with minimum of 36 months. This is their best rate. With my co-signer, I qualified for their best rate last time around, so I have no doubts that I will qualify for this.I'm not a genius when it comes to calculating compound interest with loans like this yet. I'm hoping a few people can help me learn.My assumption is that I should re-fi for 36 months and then continue paying more each month even if the monthly payment is less, thinking that a better rate equals saving more money. Is this correct?I just don't want to re-fi and find out it wasn't the best decision for a guy who has never missed a payment and almost always pays extra each month.Thanks in advance for your help!
Corsair Force 3 - 120gI would not recommend anyone buy this unless you are willing to gamble with the possibility of bsod issues. It looks like Newegg has this listed under a new item #, but if you look for it you can see the older one which has 2/5 eggs. This is a very good price, and if it works properly for you makes an excellent drive. I have one of these, and got bsod then the drive dropping out completely until a hard power down. Lots of users have reported this, and there is an open thread on corsair's forums with some fairly irate people at this point. I will say that corsair took care of my situation, but there are lots of other users that do not appear to have been helped.Again please read about this drive before even considering purchasing one, but at this price I felt it was worth posting.
Costco.com has the ShelfReliance Thrive 4 Person, 3 Month Premium Food Supply for $799.99 until October 9th.
(Also considered 1 year for 1 person or 6 months for 2 people)Operation Twist and the subsequent crashing of world equity, bond and commodity markets got you thinking that end may be near?
Or at least a bit of a rough patch? Think that Hyperinflation is just around the corner?
Or worse a Deflationary Depression? Or do you just like to be prepared for a prolonged outage or disruption of food supply chains, be it due to blizzard, hurricane or zombie apocalypse? No matter the reason (and I'm sure many will chime in with the absurdity of every reason), this is a good entry level food storage supply for your family.Normally, this package runs for $999. Compared to similar long-term, freeze-dried food packages on the market today - this is a great deal.LinkIf the 4 Person, 1 Year supply was too much or you weren't interested in the 55-Gallon Drum on the 2 Person 3 Month deal then maybe this is the one for you.
I was wondering if there were any options available regarding any kind of CashBack credit card for people with no credit. Basically, im 19 years old, and I've never had a credit card before. I want to get the citi card that gives %5 CashBack on Amazon.com, but I dont qualify. I cant get a student card because I'm not going to school (I am disabled). I signed up for a secured card from applied bank, which is basically a card that you pre-pay, but it allows you to build credit. Are there any other, better options out there for someone like me? Or do I just have to wait until my credit builds and in the meantime not get any CashBack?Thanks!
I know this is nothing new but even after doing a search I couldn't really find anything current on the topic. Where the heck do we put our money that actually, you know, makes money. Right now we are looking at a mid 3% inflation rate with the very real possibility of it going much higher. Once you add in taxes, people need to make at least 4% to even break even. Adding insult to injury my online savings account went down to 1% the other day and my brick and mortar credit union is giving a massive 0.65% interest. Short term (under 36 month) CD's are usually under 1.5%. So by using such vehicles to save the user is losing at least 2.5% of value every year. I guess one could buy TIPS bonds but since they are taxable they actually lose as well. So big question, what is everyone doing for short term investments?I have a fairly well rounded financial investment portfolio of mutual funds (IRA), bonds, stocks and my personal property and a couple of notes on other properties. I will have a fairly substantial amount to invest coming the later part of this year and have no idea what the safe bet is. I'm wondering if real estate has hit bottom but then just as importantly, I wonder how long it will take to bounce back to even make a profit. Regardless, its not exactly a short term investment either way. I also wonder if this is the perfect time, i.e. after the stock market takes a Greg Louganis, to put some money into the market. Or, should I just blow the whole thing on a trip to Vegas? I'm not looking for individual advice, just rather curious as to what everyone else is doing and whether you feel the same way.
Ok all, let me see if I can explain this correctly, so people may benefit from this deal this is HUGE YMMVWhen looking at Dell outlet products, they are hit or miss as they are constantly moving in and out of stock, just a heads up.I was looking at the xps 8300 so I added one to my cart then added another when I found a better system, I proceeded to my cart when I realized it gave 20% off when I applied the coupon but then after I added an additional system I received an additional %25 off(see pic) I tried several times to remove the other system only to have the double coupon dissapear. I then used there live chat feature and asked them about there return policy, they stated its 21 days after receipt and 15% restocking fee unless it never ships! So i proceeded with my order and canceled the additional system receiving 20% off+ an additional 25% off.Step 1. Add xps 8300 here
Step 2. Apply coupon: 5VDPHPVP0WXL31
Step 3. Add additional 8300 here
Step 4. You should now see the double % off of ONE of your systems, I did this multiple times before posting and it worked.
Step 5. Checkout
Step 6. Call Dell and Cancel your 2nd system 1-800-999-3355
Worked for me, but again this is YMMV, just hoping someone can benefit as I did.

The mint needs us!"BALTIMORE - In a dimly lit underground vault a block from Camden Yards, the Federal Reserve is holding millions of dollars in cash that nobody wants.The money - stored in cloth and plastic sacks piled high on metal shelving units - is in the unloved form of dollar coins, some of them never used. But a 2005 law requires the reserve bank to keep ordering coins regardless of its stockpile, and so vaults in Baltimore and around the country are filling up."This is just a small portion of what there is nationwide,'' Dave Beck, senior vice president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond and regional executive for the Baltimore branch, said as he stood inside a small warehouse filled with money bags, each containing 2,000 coins."At certain times, that vault will be full and we have to look for other Fed facilities ... that have more space,'' he said.Congress created a program in 2005 to mint four new dollar coins a year, each featuring a different U.S. president, in an effort to encourage consumers to make the switch from dollar bills to coins.But the new line, which began rolling out in 2007, failed to spark a significant increase in demand, Fed officials said, and some commercial banks are threatening to stop ordering the coins altogether.Nonetheless, the law compels the Federal Reserve to keep buying the coins. Each time the Mint issues a new presidential coin - the latest, featuring Rutherford B. Hayes, came out earlier this month - the Fed must be able to supply commercial banks with that new $1 coin, and only that coin, for several weeks.That requirement limits the Fed's ability to draw down its burgeoning supply of idle coins.Beck, who has worked at the Baltimore branch for 27 years, would not say how many coins are stored in Baltimore, but the Fed's board of governors told Congress in June that the reserve system is holding more than $1.2 billion in dollar coins at 28 cash offices across the country.Officials expect the number of dollar coins sitting in storage to grow to $2 billion by 2016.Critics, including some members of Congress, call the law wasteful.As the Fed board reported, "Because of vault storage constraints and insurance limitations at coin terminals, the Reserve Banks have been forced to spend resources to expand storage capacity to hold the excess $1 coins, with no perceptible benefit to the taxpayer.''The Fed cited a 2008 Harris poll that showed 76 percent of Americans prefer paper money.Supporters of the coins counter that the real waste of taxpayer money is the public's reliance on greenbacks, which survive in circulation for only a few years before they must be replaced.The nonpartisan Government Accountability Office reported in March that switching from paper to metal would save taxpayers $5.5 billion over 30 years."We want the Fed and Treasury to encourage people to use dollar coins. They've done nothing toward that end,'' said Shawn Smeallie, a lobbyist for the Dollar Coin Alliance and a former aide to President George H.W. Bush.They're "complaining that no one uses the coin when it's their job to promote it.''The alliance is made up of vending machine operators, metal miners and at least one Washington-based fiscal watchdog group, Citizens Against Government Waste.While the stockpile of coins might appear wasteful, advocates say their production does put money into government coffers.It costs 30 cents to make a $1 coin, but the Fed purchases it for face value - and the U.S. Treasury pockets the difference. In 2010, the Mint put about 400 million $1 coins into circulation, which means the government made a profit of about $280 million.The backlog, which was first reported by National Public Radio, has prompted some members of Congress to consider revising the 2005 law.Rep. Jared Polis, a Colorado Democrat, introduced a bill in July that would allow the government to stop issuing new coins if stockpiles exceeded one year's worth of demand."We shouldn't continue to spend money minting coins until it's shown that the public actually has an interest in using them,'' Polis said. "When they were new, they were collector's items, but now billions of dollars of coins are sitting in storage space at taxpayer expense due to a lack of interest."We're not saying put an end to the program altogether,'' he said. "Just that we should put a hold on producing more until there is a demand for the coins.''"Read more: Dollar coins piling up at Baltimore reserve bank http://www.herald-review.com/news/national/article_2d9ebffc-dede...

Hi All,Need Advice on pros and cons of tenant choices; I had said no pets, but I'm reconsidering now since I've had 2 month vacancy... Given these 2 choices who would you choose as a tenant (rent is set at $50 positive cashflow (assuming no repairs, I know this is unlikely):
-Single Male, good job, has a medium size dog(he says small, but I say medium from pictures), will sign a 1 year lease, can start lease almost immediately. Willing to increase deposit (and possibly some pet surcharge?)
-Married couple, good job, no pets, no kids, trying to negotiate rent (wanted $50 off, but I'm thinking probably drop $25), willing to sign longer than 1 year lease, lease start date is Nov 1 (I lose I month of rent)I'd go with tenant 1 in a heartbeat if he didn't have a dog. The positive aspect of tenant 2 is that I am guaranteed that I don't have to do 2 months of marketing and showing like I had to do this year.PsyberMore Info
Both are willing to do credit check.
Both make at least $100K.
Both seem to be nice people and are well mannered.
They are both looking to move because of a larger space.
They both have nicer cars than I do, but the single guy has a luxury car.
I didn't ask, but the couple seems to be single income, but he is well paid.Question for everyone, if I go with the first guy - is it better to:
-Charge a monthly pet rent?
-Charge a cleaning fee at end of lease term?
-Just let him know that I will be hiring cleaners at the end of the lease and will be taking it out of his depositRegardless, I will be increasing the deposit.More Info 2
-I just ran a credit report on single guy; he is in the 700-750 (Great) range and has about $1K in monthly/revolving payments; never late; but he does have a "Serious delinquency" on the report - does that mean he had a foreclosure? He had a divorce and he says that affected his credit, I'm going to talk to him about that.
My young daughter was seriously cut at a corporate daycare facility recently, and required over a dozen stitches on her cheek/nose. The accident happened during supervised play time; she tripped over another classmate and went face-first into the corner of a small table with very sharp edges. Emotionally and physically (apart from aesthetics) she is fine. I imagine when she gets older she will want to address the scarring which will no doubt be very evident. As her parents we're sick to our stomachs over the entire situation.The daycare has not addressed the incident. The table still sits ominously in the large play room and besides the occasional "so glad she's ok" remark, nothing has been said regarding the incident.I discussed the issue with a friend with a legal background and he's strongly encouraging me to attempt legal action. Interested in the FW perspective - do you let it go? Accidents happen, etc? Do you approach the daycare facility and attempt an amicable solution without getting lawyers involved? Of course, their lawyers would likely be very involved... We're not litigious people by nature so I'm hesitant to 'lawyer up' and essentially attack a place that takes care of our children, but looking at my child's face and knowing it could have been avoided had some basic care been taken does cause my jaw to clench at times...At the end of the day, my child is healthy and happy and that's obviously what's most important. Any perspective is greatly appreciated!
Once upon a time there were constant offers with 0% BT + no fee, and one can buy treasury bonds with it, over and over and over.Things have changed long since. But lately I've seem some sign of thawing. Here people reported Discover's targeted offer although no dice for myself. Then I got offers from Chase ranging from 0% APR+1% fee to 2.99%APR+no fee. Maybe they have always been available. But not for a long while for me.Maybe spring is coming back?I am no longer in this game, having switched to earning miles/points as my main objective. Still, interested in others' opinion on this.
I have searched the forums and there are numerous topics related to this, however they are all closed. Plus the fees keep changing so it's important to keep one open to update it.I think the best way to transfer money to India is for both people to have an account at the same bank. So far I've found that State Bank of India and ICICI have the cheaper fees.
Remind2India . com also has a service but I don't know about any hidden charges.If you do an ach transfer from your US Bank to State Bank (or ICICI's Money2India) I think that is the best way. they say there is no charge but there is always a service charge or service tax. SBI EXPRESS REMIT US (from State Bank) has each of the charges explicitly stated and seems reasonable.Is there a cheaper/better solution that doing an ach transfer?
CouponCan we also try to....1. Refrain from saying how unhealthy fast food is. We get that.2. People posting nonsense about being afraid to install coupon printer from coupons.com.
It is not going to screw up your computer, and no, big brother
is not going to be watching you if you do install it.
Hi,
If a person comes to USA with a family based visa, is he allowed to work in USA immediately upon arrival?
Thanks.
Once upon a time there were constant offers with 0% BT + no fee, and one can buy treasury bonds with it, over and over and over.Things have changed long since. But lately I've seem some sign of thawing. Here people reported Discover's targeted offer although no dice for myself. Then I got offers from Chase ranging from 0% APR+1% fee to 2.99%APR+no fee. Maybe they have always been available. But not for a long while for me.Maybe spring is coming back?I am no longer in this game, having switched to earning miles/points as my main objective. Still, interested in others' opinion on this.

As a new dad, I've been paying more attention to various threads, when posted, having to do with life insurance. Inevitably, someone always chimes in and says something along the lines of "some credit unions offer life insurance for their members." It's alluded that the amount of insurance is minimal (2-5k)
In my research for life insurance, I never really stumbled across many credit unions that offered this as a perk, and for 1-2k in benefit, I'd kinda wish people stopped using it as something for someone to consider when they're looking at getting life insurance. Most people that are posting on FWF are looking for a lot of life insurance and one CU that gives a few thousand dollars amounts to a drop in the bucket.I thought I'd start a thread to try to document which credit unions offer life insurance, and how much? Are there really any "good" benefits out there? When I search for this on the internet, i don't find a definitive place that lists this type of benefit.I would say that a potential FWF user might benefit from this information. If one were to spread some $$s around to various Credit Unions in interest bearing accounts, AND get an additional life insurance benefit, then they might be able to offset some of their life insurance needs. In the end spending less on life insurance. Then again, it might not be worthwhile. It might be better to put that money into a higher interest account, and use those proceeds towards life insurance. If there's good info in this thread, then folks can link here.What I'm hoping is that folks will add CU's to this list, and include how much their complimentary life insurance is? Possibly also include AD&D policies? If folks want to include other banks/CUs that include these services for a nominal fee (I know WaMu used to have something like $3000 AD&D for 10 cents a month or so), this would be a good place for that as well. Also, another question - I found that many CUs have these plans underwritten by companies such as Hartford CU? If you have one account with one CU, and that's underwritten by the same company as another - is the 2nd plan void? If so, I have a feeling that this thread might die in short order.Here's what I found with a quick google search (none of my CUs currently offer life insurance).Wyrope WilliamsburgFCU - up to $2,000 based on amount in a savings account - cost minimum $5 deposit (0.750 apr)
Members First CU - $1,000 for all members (base account has 0.10% APR)
AmeriChoice Credit Union - $1,000 for all members ($5 will get you an account with 0.25% APR)
Fremont FCU - $1,000 for all members (base account has 0.10% APR)
Affinity FCU - $1,000 for all members (base account has 0.10% APR)That's a brief list, I couldn't add more for now (screaming 3 month old) - when I get a chance to do more of a search. I'll add to this thread.

Amazon has thousands of songs for free. So, being the geek I am, I wrote a program to harvest them all and save them into your cloud drive. I want to do some more testing, so I'm going to load the cloud drive of the first 10 people who PM me. Here are the important details :Just send me the email address you would like me to set up the account for (can not already have an account at this address)
I'm sorry, but FW Mods will not let me load songs to your existing accountStuff you should know.
You will get a LOT of order confirmations from Amazon VIA Email.I will have to put a fake address in, so if you plan to ever use this account, you will need to change the address so you won't accidentally ship items to non existent locations.It takes about an hour for my program to crawl Amazon and place all the orders.Amazon will notice you have been browsing and buying music, so they will start suggesting it to you like crazy.
We think we can schedule for much awaited California trip this December last week. Wifi has her sight on Lake Tahoe and Death Valley, Yasomite. Of Course kids like Hollywood, and Disney.
Back of my mind I am not sure if December is a good time for sight seeing Lake Tahoe and surroundings and our travel could be interrupted by Snow.Any thoughts from the people familiar with the area. We plan to go during winter break i.e. Dec 23 - Jan 1st.
I wasn't sure where to post this. If this is the wrong forum, Mods, please, move this to the correct avenue.Share the Table with ThousandsClick Facebook's 'Like' to participate in

http://www.pepsi.com/2011almas/The printed coupon for Pepsi even tells people to print it twice! Never seen that before. Coupons are valid through 10/31.The website claims it is valid only at safeway chains only but the Pepsi coupon does not say this (did not try the other one).
Better than even past Fry's blowout sales, here's Sony's latest. (Don't forget to apply Sony points, Sony credit card bonuses, etc.)$369 - The one most people will want to get because it has the zoom lens.NEX-3 Black w/ 18-55mm lens
NEX-3 Silver w/ 18-55mm lens$329 - The one most won't get because it only has a 16mm (24mm equivalent in 35mm world) wide-angle lens.
NEX-3 Black w/ 16mm lens
NEX-3 Silver w/ 16mm lens---Now, following other prior threads, here's the run down:
DPReview review of NEX-3
Imaging Resource Review of NEX-3+Larger APS sensor that's bigger than a P&S, but body and lens is bigger than a P&S.
+Smaller than a dSLR, but sensor is also smaller than a full-sized 35mm sensor dSLR.
+Most lenses won't get as shallow depth of field as a good 35mm dSLR lens will due to sensor size differences.
+720p video recording, but not 1080HD.
-Video AF can drive you nuts if you're a serious film maker:
Video AF on NEX-3 is so-so
Forget about serious manual controls on this baby - think of it as a P&S with bigger sensor, swappable lenses.
-Just a few hundred dollars short of a nice Canon dSLR with true 1080 video recording, manual controls all around, tons of pro lenses, and one of the top standards in combo video/dSLR cameras made today. If you're building out a system for pro-work, better to start here with a Canon 1080 dSLR.Replaced by this year's latest models like the NEX-7, which has 24MP, etc. That's why they're blowing these old babies out the door ASAP!

I just finished reading The Investor's Manifesto by William Bernstein. I found it overall to be a fascinating read, but I have one big question: why is dying poor so bad? Bernstein repeatedly states that your primary goal in saving should be to not die poor. Dying poor is apparently so bad that he relates it to going to hell in Pascal's wager. I'm trying to understand why this is so.I think about my grandmother, who is over 90 now. She has a few hundred thousand dollars in cd's, and lives rather comfortably on the interest along with social security. I can't really see her spending much more than she currently does, even she had millions. Similarly, even if she had nothing, and was just living on social security, I don't think it would affect her lifestyle much. As long as she doesn't lose her house, which she owns outright and pays almost no taxes on, I think she would be fine. Like my grandmother, most retired people I know have low expenses, even the ones that like to travel. How many people are really planning to do much more than sit around and watch tv when they are 90 anyways?I guess the big x-factor in this equation must not be leisure expenses, but rather medical expenses. I know another elderly lady who is living at home and has run out of money to pay her caretaker. She will likely have to be put in a nursing home, which she is very unhappy about. This situation is obviously not ideal, but is it really that terrible? How much more happiness is she going to get out of life regardless of where she ends up? Or conversely, how painful could it really be if she has no money left at all?Depending on who your heirs are, wouldn't some people view dying with millions of unconsumed dollars as far worse than dying poor? I don't want to turn this into a debate about the value of consumption now vs. later. But I would like to understand why dying poor is such a bad endgame for the average person.

Warner Archives Back to School SaleThese are movies that don't get the big DVD or Blu-Ray release. They haven't gotten the full "restored classic" treatment, but there are classics, and long-forgotten treasures in here that won't show up anywhere else. Normally they charge $15-25 for these disks, which they press in small quantities as orders come in.Some examples:Ensign Pulver, the forgotten sequel to Mister Roberts
Marlowe (Remastered), with James Garner
Mike's Murder, with Debra Winger and great music from Joe Jackson
Zeppelin, with Elke Sommer
PT 109, Cliff Robertson as a heroic JFK
Bloodbrothers, Richard Gere's 1st, and the first film of a Richard Price book (albeit with the completely opposite ending--which is probably why he moved to screenwriting)
Brewster McCloud from Robert Altman
The Boyfriend, a disaster from Ken Russel that pretty much killed the movie musicalAnd here's one that seems slightly more than prescient...Americathon, In 1998 the worlds oil supply is exhausted. The U.S. Treasury is empty and in deep debt to a billionaire businessman (Chief Dan George) wholl foreclose on the nation in 30 days. The solution: a telethon to save Uncle Sam from bankruptcy. And with this way-out-there premise as a launching pad, Americathon explodes into comic outer space. Written by Firesign Theatre veterans Phil Proctor and Peter Bergman, this wickedly funny and 30 years later, outrageously timely escapade stars Harvey Korman as an ego-tripping emcee, Fred Willard as a scheming White House aide and John Ritter as a mellow fellow of a President. Has the country got a prayer when the people running the show havent got a clue? Tune in to this all-stops-out extravaganza of hilarity and strange but true foreboding. Sound familiar?With 878 different films, there is so much to choose from.

I've got an IL 529B plan and I just found out my wife is going to get reimbursed from work for her tuition next term. I need to pay it out of pocket and then get reimbursed afterwards. Can I pay out of the 529? I'm thinking I can or at least I can pay the remaining balance after $5250 from the 529. My thinking is that the feds charge taxes on tuition reimbursment after the first $5250 (I think that's the right number but I'm going from memory) as though it's regular income. I spoke with the plan people and they were stumped.

I see about a million advertisements for lawyers asking if you are injured etc. first call you make is blah blah blah... they even have nifty slogans and songs to make you remember them, e.g. 411 - pain. Anyhow was just curious if they really offer any benefit to people other than themselve for a minor crash.I personally was in a crash recently by someone not paying attention while i was waiting at a red light. Not only did I get about a dozen letters from law firms soliciting me to call them, the insurance company themselves offered to mail me a check for 300.00 for "pain and suffering" in exchange for signing some form.I agreed to the 300.00 figuring i had no injury and really don't want to deal with ambulence chasers. Heck if they had offered me nothing I would have been ok with it as they paid to get my car fixed. Just wondering what other people's experience is. I'd imagine if someone wanted to they could make out like they have serious pain and get an MRI of the spine (every spine MRI on middle age people shows some degen findings).
Fact: Costco sells five $10 ($50 total) Jamba Juice giftcards for $39.99.
Fact: California has a law that forces retailers to give cash for the balance of a giftcard (under $10) when requested.
Fact: Coupon for a $2 smoothie exists http://www.fullofdeals.com/redirect/bounce.php?afsrc=1&mid=1624841... (though, really, ANY transaction amount less than $2 will result in free Jamba food/drinks)Buy the giftcards for $40, use one at a time with the $2 coupon, and cash out immediately after using them each time. You end up with $8 back in your pocket for each giftcard, making it $40 after using all five. You get your initial OOP back (minus tax when applicable) plus 5 smoothies.

So the two largest Philadelphia daily newspapers (I believe owned by the same company, but thats not really relevant) are selling a 'discounted' tablet, but you need to sign up for a 1 or 2 year subscription to their App at $9.99/$12.99 per month. There has been talk on the local radio here that they are hoping that this will salvage the newspaper business, which has seen a steady decline in revenue as people turn to the web for news.Do you think this model will succeed? I'm baffled as to why they think this would work. Since both papers already have their content available for free on the web, and since there are other generic tablets out there at this same price point, I can't figure out who their target demographic is.

Many people in my area, and in other states, have tragically lost their homes and all of their belongings from fire or tornado. I live near a greenbelt that is more brown these days than green due to a drought. What would happen if I have a total loss? My home is insured for an amount above its resale value - at the estimated cost to rebuild, plus my belongings are insured at a set percentage of the total home value for full replacement value. The agent told me I only needed to appraise jewelry which we don't have enough to worry about.How much documentation do I need on the belongings in particular? Do I have to have receipts for all of the furniture, electronics, appliances, clothing, tools, etc? Has anyone lost a house completely? If so, what did you experience from your insurance company? What company and what state?

Well, I'm getting old. There are people who rely on me and it would financially suck for them if I were not here. So, I've done a bit of research on the topic and I am fairly determined to get a life insurance policy for myself. Now the question is with which company and what product. I'm in my 30s and figure a 20-30 year term life policy would give me peace of mind for a while. The smaller no-name companies seem to give better rates but I worry about whether or not they'll actually pay. Any and all advice is welcomed.

Is it feasible, or a big mistake, and what is the best approach?I would trust eBay has enough viewers to auction off vehicles and machinery and expensive collectibles, but a house? I have experience with selling various items on eBay and other venues, but usually smaller items, not many over $1500. I can market it decently, have good feedback, and would be honest.I'm not sure I want to go into details, maybe would if it really matters. Overall the house has LOTS going for it including location, and has some negatives, but I know many families would love to move into this house today. It is basically a dream house for a middle class family, and it is great for a upper middle class family who is trying to downsize or not spend 30% of their income on housing. I feel strongly that the house is not that typical or boring, and therefore should be more in demand than others.Unfortunately it's not the type of house an investor would love to rent or flip. I wish it were. It could be possible they would buy it, but unlikely unless they are more advanced and doing the financing type of business, and even then.My reason for considering an auction is to get it sold faster. I also feel like I could get almost as high of a price on eBay as if I waited, when you take into account the mortgage payments over the wait time, and the fact that winter will be coming.I have local interest, but so many people are waiting to sell their other house first, or other reasons why they can't or won't buy now.Obviously I have some doubts. I would not hesitate as much to sell a lower end property like a fixer-upper investment property on eBay.I know I can do a classified ad format on eBay, and I have looked into the fees. I am wondering about whether to use auction format. It scares me that it would be 10 days only. In this case, being a house, I would like to do auction format but 20 or 30 days, giving people enough time to travel here if they are not local. I would love them to see the house before bidding, but I know some buyers would chance it without seeing in person, if I provided enough photos and probably video and seem honest, figuring they would lose only a small deposit at worst case. In my opinion, anyway.I know I can put a reserve (for a fee) and try it out and see, but it does take me time and effort.If I do it, there are different ways. Let them bid on the full price, or maybe bid on the earnest money or downpayment, or something else? There would be other big decisions for me to make I'm sure.One other hesitation I have is if that would hurt my local marketing. If people ended up seeing my "failed" or aborted auction on eBay, they might become worried about why the house didn't sell on eBay, or ? Even if it's irrational, I mean of course a great place might not sell on eBay. Or, if I started the bidding at my "lowest", then it's exposed right there for every local person (who is smart enough to search the web) to see. Because I would love for them to see it's a No Reserve auction.There are many other thoughts I had about this, but there you have a lot of the story. I am looking for anyone who has heard of good and bad experiences, and especially anyone who has tried it with their own house. Somewhere I read that so many houses sell on eBay per day, and I don't know if that's true. I would love to be a success story with this. I know some sellers of vehicles were extremely pleased that they decided to eBay their vehicle instead of go local with it.I am surprised to not see more people trying this, given how many people want to sell badly. I know many people don't have the knowledge and are too scared and have misconceptions. Or maybe they are wise to avoid it? Obviously hard stats would be the best, but I want to get an estimate to compare eBaying it with other options, and what type of auction or non-auction format.
In the 2nd week of April, we got a flier from a driveway repair contractor and accordingly approached him to repair our driveway. Some minor cracks filling and sealing. We signed the contract for around 250$. The contractor told us that since it is very cold now [Buffalo, NY], he will finish the job as soon as the weather improves sometime in late june.
In july we reminded him about the unfinished work. His answer, he will do the shortly. He is expected to be in the area for another job shortly and since it is a small job, he will couple it with that. When nothing was done in July, we contacted him in August. He expressed surprise about the job and said that it was cancelled per our request. We told him that we never cancelled. He told us that he will reinstate the contract and will do ASAP. We are now in middle Sept and there is no sign of him.What are my options? The problem is that it has become difficult for us to call somebody else now as the season is almost over and the people in the neighborhood have already got the job done. for such a small job, it is hard to get a new person involved.Pl. advise.

Let's face it, there are options and strategies for all types of scenarios in life to maximize or minimize one's financial position. For example, we have strategic default, forced negotiation w/ credit issuers, churning, etc.With so many people out of work and so many more that will be out of work in the coming months and years, I'd like to discuss a way for people to better prepare themselves for the inevitable--no work. You can be out of work for many reasons, including termination, lay off, resignation, unable to find work, etc. Regardless of the reasons, you need a safety net to weather the storm. One of the best safety nets in this nation is unemployment insurance. Laws differ from state to state. But UI is available in all states. I want to limit this discussion to strategies to claim employment benefits and perhaps, with our collective wisdom, we can perhaps discover novel concepts and strategies to get this benefit.To pre-empt all the moral keyboard warriors from home, let me state:1) Unemployment Benefit is something that employers pay into the pool. It's not supported by tax payers for the 1st 26 weeks. If employers don't pay, it most likely will be part of your salary.
2) This is not a moral discussion. If you like to have a moral discussion, please talk with your kids or your pastors.So, let me start by giving something back.When I was an officer in a company, I didn't like my job. I was going to send a resignation letter on a Friday. But the company pre-empted me. They called me into the office on the Monday of the same week to demand for my resignation. They offered a package. I signed. I was still able to claim unemployment benefits.I asked the HR person if I was still eligible for Unemployment Benefits. He said since it was a forced resignation, I was eligible. I applied and received benefits. Fortunately for me, I was recruited while I was still at the company but my work won't start for another few months. I took that opportunity to visit family and friends and of course, still was looking for other work.The takeaway is this: Forced resignation will entitle you for unemployment benefits. When you're high enough in the ladder, you resign, you don't get fired. So, let's strategise:1) If you're at your current work and want to leave because of multiple reasons (state your reasons), what are some of the ways you can get around it? Leaving work because you want to start a business, take a break, medical conditions, etc.2) How successful are you at appealing? What are some strategies that worked for you?3) Have you sued your employer for denying unemployment insurance?4) Were you cut off from receiving benefits and what did you do to get it back? If you didn't get it back, what was the reason they gave you? And did you appeal?5) If you're collecting UI from abroad, is there some special considerations? 6) How soon do you get benefits after you applied? Some states, give the number on their website (week 1 application, week 2 waiting period, week 3, check sent).

I figure that a lot of people will be getting this phone (I certainly am!) and this is the best deal on a quality screen protector that I could find. I have used Skinomi on several devices and find their quality to be as good as Zagg or Bodyguardz. I expect this price to go up since it was $11.95 on Skinomi's website when I last checked.
I have been attempting to get a first credit card of some kind so I can build some credit. I am 27 and never had any financial problems. I have a Fidelity Brokerage account with some pretty decent money in it so i figured that applying for the Fidelity 2% CashBack AMEX card would be a good idea. I was denied for that. Then as suggested by a lot of people I applied for the card offered through my credit union that I have been a member of since I was a little kid. The offer the Platinum Edition Visa Card. I was denied for lack of credit history.What are my options from here? people tell me to stop applying and try again in 6 months- 1 year. I find that ridiculous as I would be back to where I am now.Should i try for the Amazon Visa card or look at some kind of secures card like the Secured MasterCard from Capital One?
Rant Topic #1 almost 0% interest ratesWith governments around the world owing basically an "infinate" amount of money interest rates near 0% is a conspiracty of epic proportions. They are screwing all the savers, basically the only people who acted responsibly over the past 20 years. What is a sever to do? What is a person who relys on fixed imcome to live do? Rates have been low and coming down for 5 years now, anyone who thought they could ride out the storm with a nice 5yr CD( pretty long at the time) is screwed. 1-2.5% in a 1-5yr CD is just painful. You know inflation will eat up anything you make, So how do you live of that money? On top of that the government drastically under reports inflation, they flat out lie! B4 you tell me to buy GOLD, remember the risk profile of someone who invests in CDs is not the same as somone who buys GOLD. Basically the government is saying take huge risk or your money will be slowly inflated away, You have no choice! I would but some sort of inflation protected bond but there is 2 issues with that. I have not found an efficient way to do that, and I don't trust the governments estimate of actual inflation. It is in their GREAT best interest to under report. they save billions by under reporting the number every year. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.Side note: I am a very aggressive rate seeker. I have over 20 bank/CU accounts and have jumped through hoops to get great relative rates. The well is DRYING UP! I even have Koream Heart Savings accounts (2009), which BTW turned out to be great! Ofcourse I think i was, and still am the only white person to ever step foot into that bank (WooriAmerica Bank). I love this forum. I think the collective knowledge of the people here is 2nd to none. Our way of life, a conservative and thought out financial strategy, is under attack I feel. When the person who is doing most of the borrowing, (US Government), is setting the rate at which they are borrowing, that is fraud! When they buy treasuries from themselves and they are not retiring that debt thats fraud! If I buy and sell options or futures to myself, and put that print up, I can go to jail for that. It is illegal for a good reason. Rant Topic #2 The temp. reduction in social security tax Rate (Obama Proposal)Basically President Obama appointed a Blue Ribbon Panal to address the long term issues with entitlement programs and they came back with certain recommendations. Obama proceeded to basically ignore the recommendations entirely. If that wasn't bad enough, he now suggests to do the exact OPPOSITE!! of what they say needed to be done. I am a republican, and I certainly have no issue with lowering taxes, but what is wrong with this man. Is there no can he wont kick down the road. He is doing to opposite of what his hand picked experts told him to do. His policys are 100% short term political and have no courage. If a republican suggested this I would say the same thing. This is just one more example of the government doing the exact wrong thing, for the worst reasons.Calm question..... What are people doing to get some kind of resonable return of their risk free capital. I can't do reward checking stuff because its just to small an inefficient. I have 5-6% CDs maturing and stand to lose 80% of that return, I know I am preeching to the choir here! this is what I have done with some of my money, and other ideas would be great.Probably bad idea #1 (did with 15% of assets) A Rated 20yr average NJ Munis. At the time they yielded about 4.75-5% This will turn out to be horrible if there is big inflation, but I could not pass up the after tax return. The defualy risk is not -0- but I am willing to accept that, I think it is small. Remember you must must must accept more risk now, I have not found a way to avoid this hard truth. Please let me know if have found a better way. Muni bond yields now are historically high compared to other fixed rate returns. I feel this represents a decent buying point, but this is just one mans opinion. 15% of my assets is not 100%, so I am putting my money where my mouth is but not that aggressively.Probably bad idea #2 1.1% average money markets. (75% unfortunately for now) I really think I need to wait this out. Rates have to start comong up and I dont want to risk principle any more with bonds. I may consider some no pennalty CDs, but I really dont know how much I trust the bank not to change the terms on me. Either way we are talking about a few basis points.Better idea #3Conservative high yielding Equities (10%, prob should be more)Certainly not no risk like a FDIC CD, but what choice do I have. I think this is not a bad idea but it involves more work than a CD (obviously), and certainly more risk. My final note.....I consider nothing to be riskless now. FDIC is only as good as the government makes it. If they are paying you back with inflated worthless currency than what protection did you really have? Cash is a huge risk! Stocks, bonds and housing are a friggen gamble also. What kind of world are we living in where Gold at $2000oz is the safest investment???I have 1 and only 1 great idea. Middle income rental housing. I would love to buy an apartment building (roughly 100ish units) 1 and 2 bedroom. I think this would be a hedge against inflation while insulating me from the ups and downs of the market. If housing goes up great, if it doesn't I will have a rent roll, and I will never need to sell. There should be a steady demand for reasonabely priced housing. If you can pick something like this up for a good price I think it is compelling. Any thought are appreciated, I love you guys!!!
I have been looking for a foam nozzle for my pressure washer for washing vehicles. Most are in the $100 range, but I found this at Home Depot which supposedly does the same thing for much less (used to be about $18) I believe you have to order it, and choose pick up at store to get this price, I think they are around $17 in most stores right now. G-Foam Blaster
http://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-5yc1v/R-202184733/h_d2/ProductDi... Some facts, you need a pressure washer to use it. It has the 1/4" quick connect fitting, so it should fit most normal ($300+ washers). If you have a cheapy electric one (like I do) you will need an adapter to convert your washer to this type fitting. HD also sells these for about $15. By doing this, you will also be able to use all the regular accessories that a normal washer would. Different nozzles, etc.Adapter set,
http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDispla...It can use regular car wash liquid, or there are some soaps that are designed for a thing like this. about the only negative I have read about it is the small bottle it uses. Most people mix about 3oz of soap and the rest water in the bottle, and say it is enough to do one car. Here are a couple of youtube videos of what this thing does,

The thread purpose is to discuss how to get investors at all levels ($1 to $1MM+) to open their wallets based on the ability of the internet to rapidly communicate ideas and opportunities. I believe the collective power of social communities like FWF is immense, but not easily harnessed. I have a motive for my own personal use but won't spam the forum
Traditional methods:
- Business loan, grant, personal/business credit, collateral, etc.
- Venture capitalists, biz plan, stock offerings, etc.
- Friends, family, personal networks
- Fundraising, advertising
- Strategic partnerships with other businesses
- Telling FWF members to invest their $50K in your businessModern methods:
(These are just things I have been perusing, let's add FWF ideas)
- Websites like kickstarter or startupaddict (I have no connection to this website, never used it, have little opinion on it)
- Viral Marketing (twitter, FB, craiglist, etc.)
- Vetting an idea through mass online communities like FWF, reddit, digg, etc. Letting the community at large have "first crack" at getting money into it at higher valuation than subsequent investors.
- Taking an idea to forums/websites where people would have money to invest (i.e. daytrader discussion forums, FWF )Challenges:
- How do you create the technical infrastructure to bring in investment at any level? Nobody is going to just send you $10 or $10,000 paypal. How do you break down the ownership? Seems attorneys and such would be needed?
- How do you encourage the small investor as well as the large?
- How do you get the idea out there without compromising the idea? Almost like you need an NDA for all investors, but if you don't get the idea out publicly...chicken or egg?
- When the money comes in, how are investors communicated with? How do they help direct the company? Do they?
- If a really great idea is created here, won't FW own it??
- How to do it without being spam?I'll keep editing this post as ideas/clarifications come in. Flame away!

Long time FWF follower, so I've sent the abundant threads of credit limit lowering or 'chasing a balance' of FI's lowering credit limits as people pay down their cards. Flash forward to last week - I received ~15% bump in my CL on my AMEX for doing nothing - I do churn a few hundred dollars through this card, but its always < 20% utilized, and doing so helps me stack a few AA miles as a reward. That has me thinking that it might be an OK time to ask for CL increases on a few sock-drawer cards (all zero balance) in order to have a small ripple effect (I hope) on my credit score. Thoughts?
has any one been in this situation and was able to get a refund? please let me know what options i have..I paid almost $350 for 2 tickets to US Open via ticket master. The matches were cancelled due to rains and since tickets to future matches this season were sold out, they are offering tickets to 2012 matches in exchange, but NO refunds.I checked ticketmaster.com and every where on their site they say that automatic refunds will be given for cancelled events.
http://www.ticketmaster.com/ourguarantee?tm_link=refund_guarante...
http://www.ticketmaster.com/h/returns.htmlI spoke to a TM representative and mentioned this, but they are simply refusing to give a refund and are asking me to contact US OPEN people.
I have sent emails to US Open staff asking for a refund and waiting for a response.However I think that when making a purchase, i did not buy directly at the venue.. so why should i contact US Open staff and fight for a refund? i purchased from ticketmaster who at the time of purchase conveniently flashed the "ticketmaster buy with confidence guarantee" with a bunch of claims, one of them being the refund for cancelled events (see link above).. and now when time has come for them to act on their tall claims, they are backing out!I used my AMEX blue card for making this purchase, and i have filed a dispute.. but when talking in depth with the AMEX representative, my understanding is that AMEX will only act as a mediator between me and TM and request a refund. If TM refuses to refund (which i an sure it will since they refused me directly), then AMEX cant do anything.So does any one have any suggestions on what i can do? The amount is too large to let go so easily. Also exchanging for a 2012 ticket is not an option for me as i may not be in the same location in 2012. Any advice is highly appreciated.. thanks..

I've been searching for a new mattress and have been comparing a lot of prices all over the place from us-mattress, jcp, Sears, Macys, sleepys, local shops, etc. I randomly signed into my sleepys.com account and there was a section for Click to Get Coupons on the bottom. Checked the box that said 20% off your in store purchase and the email came to me. Not sure if it's available for everyone or new accounts or what, but definitely will be swaying me to going back to sleepy's, getting a good deal, and then pulling out the 20% coupon. Fine print excludes what appears to be high end brands, but should be good for most people I think. Looks to be good for one month after email is sent to me.

Lots of issues with the company (and heaven forbid they ever get you on their email/call list), but if you've ever wanted to try out Front Sight training, this is a decent chance to give it a shot for $69.The course is their 'mid-week' offer (so you have to take the Mon-Thur classes). There IS a $50 'background check' fee that they charge, and of course you need your own firearm and equipment (or they'll rent to you), but it's pretty good training for the cost. It's probably especially hot for people living near their facility near Las Vegas.https://www.myfrontsight.com/secure/greatest.php

My parents currently have a mortgage through beneficial, which seems to be owned by hsbc now. They have an interest rate of 9.14%, so they want to refinance. I've gone through a few sites but I've never herdof any of the options that pop up. I've seen quicken, which I've seen bad reviews about, as well as ovation, which I can hardly find anything on besides their bbb page.I tried usaa, but it mentions a down payment of $44,000 and huge closing fees. Shouldn't there be no down payments since this is a reginance. I'm not sure of the best way to go to find a good refinance deal. Lending tree didn't turn up much and the only real bank that shows up is hsbc, but when I googled people were saying they had a hard time working to get a lower rate with them. Is the best bet to try and get a refinance with hsbc? It seems that they might have qualified for a va loan but got ruled out because of our house technically bring a 3 family house. Thanks for any response, even if its just a link to something I may have managed to miss on google.

Sorry for the lateness of this post. (I didn't read my paper until late.) Macy's is offering a $10 shopping "card" (looks more like a coupon) with the purchase of any denim. The ad says sale, regular, etc from Women's, Men's, Kid's, Petites, Juniors, Misses - that covers everybody. These certificates are good on a later purchase. The certificates have to be used between 9/5 and 9/11. I purchased two pairs of clearance jeans in the Misses dept. The people in that department had no certificates so they sent me to check in other departments. I took my receipt and found a saleslady in Juniors. She checked and said, "You bought two pair. Here are two certificates."The certificates have only limited exclusions for use - fine jewelry, gift cards, services. But it does not exclude cosmetics. So, this is a great opportunity to save on some cosmetic item.

I went to Lowes looking for a new Refrigerator, as I walked up they had a ton of items out front of the store and I saw about 10 Refrigerators inline, one of them being the higher end Samsung I didn't want to fork out the extra cash for. I talked to the sales guy inside and they didn't have the model I wanted in stock so I walked back out and looked at the Samsung again. Another sales guy walked up and said if you like it take 100 of the already discounted price 1150.00 to 1050.00, better deal but still not FW hotness, so I said I think about it and his manager walked over and said how about 70% off the retail price... So my 1900.00 model on sale for 1150.00 just dropped to 560.00 ( 70% of 1900.00 ), free drop off and I slapped a 4 year warranty on for another 100.00.They had 2 other SS models GE and one other that were french door, but I stuck with my Side by side model. There were giving people 70% off on all the clearance models out front and they were moving fast... I got the Samsung RSG257AARS in SS..Happy Hunting Dil
The two strategies I've heard for home mortgages are:
1) Those who want or need to pay off the mortgage before they retire because they will NOT have enough cashflow or savings to continue to pay the mortgage (and maintain their desired lifestyle) when they retire AND they want to stay in that home. These people may even WANT to pay off the principle faster as proposed by many pundits to reduce overall interest payment and shorten mortgage period. Advantage: payoff mortgage and you have place to live without monthly outflow for mortgage payment. Disadvantage: payoff mortgage and you now have full risk of any lost value in your home. If you need money, then you may need to take out a HELOC or mortgage which brings you back to still having to pay monthly to live in your home.2) Those who do NOT want or need to pay off the mortgage before they retire because they WILL have enough cashflow or savings to continue to pay the mortgage (and still have enough to maintain their desired lifestyle) when they retire AND they want to stay in that home. These people do NOT want to pay off principle in any hurry; they just want to lock in the lowest interest rate they can. They rather hold onto a low mortgage interest rate and invest their other money in some other way (they feel will give a return more than the low interest rate on their mortgage). Advantage: Don't payoff mortage and the bank has the risk of you walking away from the home (lost value for any reason), and you use your other money to invest. Also, with inflation, you are paying back money to the bank with inflation-devalued dollars (which is what the FED is currently planning to do with the national debt!!) Disadvantage: You don't payoff mortgage, so you have to pay monthly... but hey, you can afford it, remember?So, I think if you are fortunate enough to afford #2, it is more desirable than #1.
If you are planning to move in a few short years, then a 5/1 ARM type loan is likely the way to go too.Just an opinion. Maybe no real right or wrong answer.But now I'm going to stir some debate by saying almost NO ONE should payoff their mortgage and almost NO ONE would do so even if they had enough money to do so ! Example: If you won the lottery and the amount you won after taxes was exactly the amount of your remaining mortgage, would
you use it to pay off your mortgage immediately?? I bet the answer for almost everyone is NO because almost everyone would realize the money would be locked up in the value of your house and they would have to take out a loan again to get at it !! People would rather have that money in cash (and/or invest it, travel, schooling, etc.). If that is the case, then why would the same person bother paying off the principle early or at all with money from a job?!? Shouldn't we be getting interest-payment-only loans (lower monthly paytments too!) and let the mortgage principle go unpaid (and leave the mortgage risk for the bank, not you because you can walk away if you need to)?

I was at a Target store on 9-3 and saw that the Acer 11.6" Ao722-BZ454 netbook had a tag saying "new low price" and was marked down from $329.98 to $259.99 as of 8-29. The dcpi number is 080-11-0305. I know this has sold for $250 with either a $50(july) or $30(august) gift card, but Im posting this because some people could not find them when they were on sale and it is still a really good deal if you are looking for a netbook with a screen larger than 10.1."
I hate to post this because it is one location only but I thought it might be good for a few people.Best Buy in Park Meadows is closing their Music Gear Area. I guess it is hard to compete with a Guitar Center across the street. They shipped off some of the higher end stuff to their other stores but still have a lot available. I saw a few Gibson SG's as well as a Flying V that were $699 with 20% off. Most of the other guitars are 30% off. Most of the names were Fender, Epiphone, Dean, Taylor etc. I saw Line 6 Amps, Marshall's (I think all SS), Bogner's, Fender etc. all for 30% off. There was a 65 Reissue Fender Twin Reverb 85w for $1399 with 30% off. They sell new for $1399 so that is a pretty good deal. I saw many Boss/Fishman Effects for 50% off. They have Keyboards, Drums, PA Equipment, some rack mount gear, t-shirts, hats etc. So if you are in the area, take a look. Apologies to all the musicians outside the area!

I know a few people who appreciated the thread before, sorry for those of you who are annoyed by it (though honestly it isn't like the topics in this forum are many )Requires referral from current tradeking account owner, both parties get $100.Requires $1000 deposit and at least 1 trade execution. For new accounts only (no other account can be associated with the household you use).All eligibility rules are found here https://referrals.tradeking.com/rules/RAF.html
I will only use credit unions. I do not understand why people keep using banks, they charge fees out the a** and give people absolutely nothing in return. Go through any small town in Oklahoma these days and low and behold, the only new construction going on? A new bank. It stinks. People are so stupid.
Hello All,I am taking a vacation to North Carolina and wanted to find out if you guys have bought Travel insurance on your own? I have maybe 7 other people traveling with me but I did not like the provided insurance and wanted to buy it on my own.1) Please list options you have used.
2) Is it worth it?
3) With Hurricane Katia already named they wont cover cancellations related on that.Regards,Shahhere
OK, I think I've got the basics down:
1. If the spouse receives spousal benefits (50% of the breadwinner's PIA) before full retirement age, those benefits are permanently decreased (35% of breadwinners if taken immediately at 62).
2. The spouse may receive these benefits even while the breadwinner's income is suspended (a normal trick is "file and suspend", to get spousal benefits and still qualify for delayed credits).
3. The spouse can receive a regular PIA benefits before becoming eligible for spousal benefits; the benefit will automatically be increased to the greater of the two.
4. Delayed credits earned by either spouse or breadwinner do not affect spousal benefit.So (due to #1 and #2) the ideal situation would be a spouse of 66 and a breadwinner of 62. But what should be done in the (more typical) opposite case?So here's where it gets complicated, and where the SSA site (and others) appear to not be helpful:
Let's assume the spousal income (at 50%) exceeds spouse's eligible PIA. They could:
5. Wait 4 years, so both are eligible; breadwinner gets 3 years worth of delayed credits (breadwinner could also file and suspend to max out delayed credits).
6. Spouse could take (his/her own) regular benefits now and have the breadwinner wait 4 years to file before switching to spousal.
7. Both could take benefits now, yielding 135% of PIA.Does #6 decrease spousal benefits taken at full retirement age? If not, that's clearly better than 5, yielding income now + the same income 4 years from now. Otherwise it's a loser for most people. #7 seems to depend a lot on other variables like income and tax rates and life expectation. It also seems politically pragmatic to "lock in" benefits before reform.
I've dabbled in tax lien investing and learned many lessons. One is that I'd rather not have my name on record during the redemption period.
I found a rural county nearby that will allow me to bid at the tax lien auction, pay with cash, and title the tax lien in any name I want (personal, corporation, trust, business) with any address (real or PO Box). So my name and personal info would never be on file.
If the property was redeemed, a check would be issued to the name titled on the tax lien. If it were not redeemed, the property would have to be foreclosed on by the name on the tax lien.
I am considering creating a separate tax entity (LLC or corporation) to hold the tax lien. But for the purposes of this question I'm interested in pass-through entities (revocable trusts and sole proprieter business under my SSN).
In reading up on this, most people seem to promote revocable living trusts as the best way to hold real estate outside of your personal name. But why not just create a business called "ABC company" and hold it that way?
Are there benefits to trusts that I don't understand? Or are there downsides to business holdings that I don't understand?
I don't want to get loans on any of this property. Most likely I'll just be receiving a check from the county in whatever name I hold it in. Less likely but possibly I'll receive title to the property in the name that I hold it in and at that point I'd want to proceed with foreclosure also anonymously.
I'm also wondering if after going through all the trouble to remain anonymous, I may eventually (and ironically) have trouble proving that I ultimately own/represent the entity that I create (especially if I have to foreclose on the property). The details outlining a trust or a small business wouldn't be on file anywhere, so the only documents that would "prove" that I owned the entity would be my own.
Thanks for your advice.
Fry's Electronics has the LG LMX28988ST (stainless steel) refrigerator for $1,899 in-store. The website lists it as $2899, but has a special promo code *1000. Sears (in San Bernardino, CA) checked with Fry's and price matched it, but that decision was up to the discretion of the store manager. Sears has it for $2499, so the price match knocked off another $50, but there's free delivery and installation.I spent some time researching reviews and my needs for a fridge. This one seemed the best option for a vegetarian household (three produce compartments + the wide one at the bottom of all these french door units). I don't care much for ice, but having it there is nice. We hardly ever use ice in our drinks, and that was one of the main complaints people who bought it had. Sears Outlet sells the dinged up version of this fridge for $1799, but the shipping costs make it more expensive and I think there's a separate installation charge.Here's the Fry's ad and the Sear's listing.Here's the fridge on LG's site:Total Capacity: 27.5 cu. ft.

CONCERTS ARE FREE - ADMISSION $3.00 AT GATE THOUGH OUT THE WEEKEND. parking info here
today morning I recd an email from discover that due to enhanced security they have added in their system, they are discontinuing discover single use numbers.i think that it is very retrograde step. use of single use numbers provide a sense of security on online transactions and probably increases business for discover. this is due to the fact that people remember their online account uname and pwd rather than their 16 digits card numbers. very dumb move.
Hi everyone,We are planning a 7 day trip driving from Buffalo to Toronto via Niagara. I've read a great thread by va1234. So, while somehow I am emulating his succinct format, I will ask things that are not covered in his post. I appreciate any help from anyone who is familiar with these three areas and can share some tips in planning this trip. We are two adults who like to go to new cities on a tight budget. We have already bought plan tickets to Buffalo paid for a 7-day car rental.

Places planning to visit(7 days, later half in Sep):
Buffalo
Niagara Falls NY and Canada sides
Toronto
Maybe Ottawa and Montreal per stevie123 suggestsPlan:
Fly into Buffalo, NY around Wed or Thur noon. Plan is to go to Niagara right after landing(or save it for the return trip). We don't mind spending some time in Buffalo but will like to save time for Niagara, Toronto, and other cities.Drive to Toronto. Will probably purchase City Pass unless advised otherwise. Definitely a fan of local activities and festivals. Open to suggestions here.
Drive back to Niagara Falls/ Buffalo.Questions:
- Toronto Hotels and Transportation :
We plan to book our hotel on Priceline or Hotwire. Found some 2-3 star airport hotels half the price of those in downtown. Called some of the airport hotels and was told that they are just 15 mins drive to downtown. Online resources urge people to use public transportation when visiting downtown Toronto. So, if we stay in the airport area, we might use $12/night hotel parking , drive to and park at a subway station nearby, and use the system to avoid the difficult parking situation in the city. We like to stay in the city, but we've already booked a 7 days car rental. We are not sure if the expensive downtown hotels and their parking for hotels in downtown ($25/per night) can justify the convenience. Any advice?- Will be driving a rental vehicle. I have Geico but am wondering if we need to buy some other insurance offered by the rental company. We don't know if parking in the scenic spots and Toronto is safe because a lot of articles online imply bad parking situation in Toronto.- Any suggestions on inexpensive local cell services during the 7 day stay in Canada? We have T-Mobile and ATT but are trying not to use their pricey roaming- We plan to spend some time in the Niagara Falls and Buffalo areas but do not know how many days we need to spend there. Do we stay on the Canada side? or the NY side? in Buffalo? or one night each? How many nights are appropriate for a simple but not rushed sightseeing in this area? Any must-sees? Pass or discounts? We will have a rental car, so advise on scenic spot parking and overnight parking will be appreciated.
- Parking situation in Ottawa and Montreal?
- Tickets or Passes for the Falls
Hi everyone,We are planning a 7 day trip driving from Buffalo to Toronto via Niagara. I've read the great article and advises va1234 initiated. So, while somehow I am emulating his succinct format, I will ask things that are not covered in his post. Appreciate any help from anyone who is familiar with these three areas and can share some tips in planning this tip. We are two adults who like to go to new cities on a tight budget. We will fly to Buffalo and have already paid for 7-day rental car.

Places planning to visit(7 days, later half in Sep):
Buffalo
Niagara Falls NY and Canada sides
TorontoPlan:
Would be flying in Buffalo, NY around Wed or Thur noon. Plan is to go to Niagara right after landing(or save it on the return trip). We don't mind spending some time in Buffalo but will like to save for Niagara or Toronto.Drive to Toronto. Will probably purchase City Pass unless advised otherwise. Definite a fan to local activities and festivals. Open to suggestions here.
Drive back to Niagara Falls/ Buffalo.Questions:
- Toronto Hotels and Transportation :
We plan to book our hotel on Priceline or Hotwire. Found some 2-3 star airport hotels half the price of those in downtown. Called some of the airport hotels and was told that they are just 15 mins drive to downtown. Online resources urge people to use public transportation when visiting downtown Toronto. So, if we stay in the airport area, we might use $12/night hotel parking , drive to and park at a subway station nearby, and use the system to avoid the difficult parking situation in the city. We like to stay in the city, but we've already have the 7 days car rental. We are not sure if the high rate and the expensive hotel parking for hotels in downtown ($25/per night) can justify the convenience. Any advises?- Will be driving a rental vehicle. I have Geico but am wondering if we need to buy some other insurance offered by the rental company. We don't know if parking in the scenic spots and Toronto is safe because a lot of articles online imply bad parking situation in Toronto.- Any suggestions on inexpensive local cell services during the 7 days in Canada? We have T-Mobile and ATT but are trying not to use their pricey roaming- We plan to spend sometime in the Niagara Falls and Buffalo area but do not know how many days we need to spend there. Do we stay on the Canada side? or the NY side? in Buffalo? or one night each? How many nights that are appropriate for a simple but not rushed sightseeing in this area? Any must-see? Pass or discounts? We will have a rental car, so advises on scenic spot parking and overnight parking will be appreciated.
So here's my issue. I bought a house 2 years ago for $950,000, fast forward to today and I owe $90,000 on the house with a 30 year fixed 4.50% rate loan. I just applied for a HELOC on the house and the HELOC lender (Hanscom) appraised it for $880,000. So in 2 years my house has lost $70,000 in value.
I'm thinking of using my new HELOC (2.75%) to pay off the $90,000 and do away with the mortgage, taking advantage of the lower rate. I also feel like I can pay back the $90,000 by the time rates increase again as Big Ben says that won't be till Jan of 2013.
I also think the equities market is a tough place to be these days and rather than invest in the market I'd like to pay down debt, I'm already fully funding my 401k.
But my problem is if I pay off that $90,000 I will have paid $950,000 on an asset that's worth $880,000. Living in Connecticut I now know the feeling of the people in Florida and Nevada who were underwater on their houses and still paying their mortgage. That's not me totally but still it feels sort of lousy to payoff this $90,000. Part of me thinks I should wait till the real estate market rebounds and then pay it off but then that's another $4,000 ($90,000 * 4.5%) in interest each year I wait that I'm throwing away, so why bother and just pay it off using the HELOC.This forum has a lot of smart people on it so I'm looking for what you would do in my shoes and then maybe some alternatives that I'm not thinking of.Thanks in Advance

I may be leaving my home to move to a new location, and rather than sell it I have family members who may move in and pay rent. I read IRS pub 527, but it's rather confusing so I'm wondering if people could help me with this.The home has a mortgage. Let's say for the sake of this discussion, the home is worth $125K, mortgage is for $75K, and monthly payment is $500.Situation 1:
Ideally, I'd like the family members to just cover the mortgage, and I would pay their utilities. But I think the fair market rent on this place would be more than $500 - I'm thinking more like $650. What are the tax implications of renting at below fair market value?Situation 2:
I rent at fair market value. How do I determine that? Just look around at listings for similar homes and set the price?Finally, I have a general question about my understanding of the taxes. Let's say I rented at 650/month, which is fair market value. So I get 12 * 650 = $7800/year. That's ordinary income. But from that, I can deduct the interest on the mortgage, property taxes, repairs, utilities, and insurance. So let's say those come up to 400/month, for example. That's 4800, so I have 2300 ordinary income. Then, I get depreciation on the property. For this example, let's say the home alone (minus land) is worth $100K. So I get $100K/30 = $3333 per year in deduction. Finally, if I make improvements (e.g., new fridge), I get to deduct 1/5 of the improvement per year for 5 years. Then after figuring all that out, I likely will not owe any tax on the income, since it will be fully deducted. This allows me to let the property appreciate, and continue to build equity by paying down the mortgage. The main downside is I eventually will owe capital gains tax on the final sale of the home. Does my understanding seem correct?2 Questions on this scenario:
(1) deductions are only off the income from the rental, correct? So I can only deduct up to the total rental income? And once I've done that (let's say income is $7800/year and I have more than that in deductions) my rental is tax revenue-neutral?
(2) what kinds of utilities are OK to deduct - cable TV? internet? phone? water/sewer/electric/gas?Thanks for all the input!

So while some people are beating on Al Roker about the storm severity not living up to its hype, I for one am not. I had a tree in my yard take out three other trees and land on my garage, take out some fencing, landscaping, gutters, and damage my siding.The siding is asbestos siding. It cracked in a few spots and was punctured in a few others. The damage was on only one small section of the house. So here's where I need our insiders/experts to weigh in - Does the insurance company have to replace the entire siding since the asbestos tile can't be replaced, or do they only have to replace the damaged area?

Amazon LinkYes, Gaming Headsets are expensive and overpriced, but this is a great deal none the less. This headset is considered by all to be the absolute best stereo PC/Gaming headset available. It's MSRP is $250, and I have seen it for $225 for the past several months as it has sat in my wishlist. Today, I found it available on Amazon for $176 from at least 2 resellers, so I think this deal should be available for a few more people.

For those trying to get Lifetime AA gold (1 million) or AA Platinum (2 million), starting on Dec 1 only miles earned by flying (no bonuses will count) will count toward the lifetime status. All miles earned before 12/1 are grandfathered in. A number of people are trying to get as many miles as possible before 12/1 to either get lifetime status or make it easier to in the future.Ways to do that include:
Apply for the 3 AA Credit Cards (75k miles X 3)
Open a Bank Direct Checking or CD (PM me and I can send you the 1k bonus offer)
Prepaying bills on AA Credit Card
Using AA shopping
Transferring SPG points or AMEX Pts->SPG and then to AA
Here is the official AA message:
Starting December 1, 2011, AAdvantage base miles earned by flying on American Airlines, American Eagle or the AmericanConnection carrier or any AAdvantage program participating airline will count towards Million Miler status. Before you get nervous about just BIS miles counting, for those of you who have the new Citi Executive(SM) / AAdvantage World Elite(TM) MasterCard credit card, as a limited time offer, one AAdvantage mile for every dollar spent on eligible purchases using this card will count toward Million Miler status. Bonus miles and additional miles earned through special offers will not count. The Citi Executive(SM) / AAdvantage World Elite(TM) MasterCard credit card account must be open and in good standing by December 1, 2011, and miles must post to billing statements through December 2012. Realize that this makes American Airlines the only major US airline to provide a significant non-flight way to achieve Million Miler status. And one of the few to allow Million Miler miles accrual on participating airlines.Here are the benefits at each Million Miler threshold: At 1,000,000 Million Miler miles, AAdvantage members will receive lifetime AAdvantage Gold status and 35,000 AAdvantage bonus miles (which, as you know, can be exchanged for eight 500-mile upgrades if thats what you prefer)
At 2,000,000 Million Miler miles, AAdvantage members will receive lifetime AAdvantage Platinum status and four one-way systemwide upgrades
At each additional Million Miler mile mark, AAdvantage members will receive four additional one-way systemwide upgrades
You might be wondering about the AAdvantage miles youve earned so far. The good news is that when the Million Miler program launches on December 1, your starting Million Miler balance will include every AAdvantage mile youve ever earned since joining the program. And any Million Miler status or benefits youve earned so far remain as well.When you log into your AAdvantage account on AA.com on and after December 1, youll see your Million Miler balance separate from your award miles, so you can easily track your progress toward these mileage milestones.

OK, I think I've got the basics down:
1. If the spouse receives spousal benefits (50% of the breadwinner's PIA) before full retirement age, those benefits are permanently decreased (35% of breadwinners if taken immediately at 62).
2. The spouse may receive these benefits even while the breadwinner's income is suspended (a normal trick is "file and suspend", to get spousal benefits and still qualify for delayed credits).
3. The spouse can receive a regular PIA benefits before becoming eligible for spousal benefits; the benefit will automatically be increased to the greater of the two.
4. Delayed credits earned by either spouse or breadwinner do not affect spousal benefit.So (due to #1 and #2) the ideal situation would be a spouse of 66 and a breadwinner of 62. But what should be done in the (more typical) opposite case?So here's where it gets complicated, and where the SSA site (and others) appear to not be helpful:
Let's assume the spousal income (at 50%) exceeds spouse's eligible PIA. They could:
5. Wait 4 years, so both are eligible; breadwinner gets 3 years worth of delayed credits (breadwinner could also file and suspend to max out delayed credits).
6. Spouse could take (his/her own) regular benefits now and have the breadwinner wait 4 years to file before switching to spousal.
7. Both could take benefits now, yielding 135% of PIA.Does #6 decrease spousal benefits taken at full retirement age? If not, that's clearly better than 5, yielding income now + the same income 4 years from now. Otherwise it's a loser for most people. #7 seems to depend a lot on other variables like income and tax rates and life expectation. It also seems politically pragmatic to "lock in" benefits before reform.
Has anyone refused a pre-employment drug test? Please share your experience.During negotiations I always force recruiters and employers to agree to extra terms that I add, in short, blocking them from being able to disclose the results to any 3rd parties, and requiring them to supply me with a copy of the results, so I can offer to show the results to my next employer (if I decide to refuse the next test). These extra conditions have been easy to force.. no client or agency has refused to agree to them.But I'm still not satisfied with this approach. Although I'm clean, I have ethical issues with supporting employers who control lifestyles outside the workplace for the kind of jobs that don't follow you home, and further putting people at risk for loss when there are false positives. So I may go further off the beaten path and refuse the test entirely. Anyone pull this off?
We had our annual neighborhood yard sale yesterday. In past years if people asked where everything came from. I would say "its a hobby that's gotten out of hand". This year folks said "are you a coupon-er?", or "I saw what you had for sale and I knew what you do". To people who asked where it came from, this year I said "I'm a coupon-er" and they knew immediately what that meant thanks to TLC. Unsold food & personal care is being donated to Food Bank. Will receive tax deduction based on weight: $1/lb. They don't accept any meds because of liability risk. This was my largest sale ever and I doubt I'll ever top it. The deals have been fewer and limits smaller. Last night one of my neighbors said she thought what I do is a community service! She said I take something I enjoy doing and help folks by offering things for sale really cheap. I know the Food Bank donation is a community service but never occurred to me that re-selling was as well. More than a few folks said that they wait for my sale. I've been on a break but now I almost (but not quite) feel obligated to get back in the game.

This seller has a brand new stroller for $200 or best offer with free shipping to US.
Linky to Ebay listingThe seller accepted my offer for $180. The selection of colors is limited - I got a tan one and I love it.
Here is my review-I love it that is why I am posting.PROS:
+PRICE! You can satisfy your stroller envy (something very common in any urban area, IMHO) at a fraction of a price of a Bugaboo, Stokke, etc. This was originally a $500++ stroller.
+Comes with all the accessories: a basinette (+ mattress, sheet, rain and bug covers for it), a foot muff/sleeping bag, a rain cover for the stroller mode, a sun canopy, an adapter to use with a graco infant car seat, a swivel wheel (if you don't like the fixed wheel in the front), a storage basket and a diaper bag (included a lightweight changing pad).
+Beautiful (apparently used to be exhibited in museums)
+Rather compact and light for a jogger
+Rides like a dream. Everywhere. (On snow, too!)
+Good for tall people (I am 6 ft.)
+Top quality, easy to assemble and great design
+Not as common as all the other strollers like Quinny or BobCONS:
-no pump for the tires included
-no snack tray for the kid or a drink holder for the parents included
-a tad complicated to fold and does not lock when folded
-only takes kids up to 33lb (not a big problem for me as my kids are slender)
-this is an "old" model - although it doesn't show it. IMHO, the ensuing models have some improved features, but they are heavier and much more expensive.

I was at best buy B&M looking for the tablets of course, but only saw the keyboards. I picked up a couple to qualify for the back-to-school promo (buy 3 accessories, 15% off, buy 4+, 20% off), and looked around to see what else would qualify. The networking hardware qualifies.The E4200 is retail $179, and street price is $134 at both Amazon and best buy. 20% (of course, you must buy 3 other items) off brings it down to ~$104. Note: Although I was told by multiple people that the networking hardware qualified, the POS terminal didn't register the discount, and I needed a supervisor to run an override for me. Slight YMMV, but I think it is legit.A fairly decent lukewarm deal, as the router is awesome and hard to find discounted. My ping went from ~20ms to ~8ms to a server I use frequently.

I have really bad situation. I recently applied for PGR Personal and Biz was approved for both instantly. Then after charging about 1.5k on BIZ card within 2 weeks of activating the card they triggered me for Financial Review. I faxed my checking account statements and just now logged in to my AMEX account to see that they apparently canceled BOTH accounts. Questions:
1. Is there any way to reopen them?
2. I already met spending requirement on Biz card but basterds closed my account before 1st statement even closed. Can i still get my bonus points?
3. Am I now considered "previous card holder" so I wont be able to get future bonuses for Gold cards?
4. How ridiculous to FR brand new AMEX customer who charged SO LITTLE (as i understand usually it's only people who charge ~$10k in a week get FR'ed)
Background:Never had AMEX cards before.
Have about 5-6 other cards with no late payments
No bankruptcies and credit card charge offs.
So I am REALLY pissed and puzzles right now to the fact that idiots cancelled my cards when they instantly approved me for them and I was doing fine on all my other cards all my life.
THANKS FOR ALL WHO WILL REPLY !!!

Hi,So back in April I loaned $4000 to a auto detailing business a friend of a friend started in order to do renovations to a building they recently just started renting. (I know, never mix business with personal -- now I know why). The agreement we had was to have a payment of $360 starting on May 1st, and occurring on the 1st of every month for a year. As of now, I've received the payments for May and June, but have not received the July and August payments as of yet. I have asked him, and he said he will pay me "soon". We have drafted up a formal loan agreement, which unfortunately has some mistakes that I missed when reviewing the document. There is an installment section, where it says that they will pay $360/month for a year. There's also a repayment section which says that full payment is due by April 1st 2012. I'm thinking this contradiction may make it difficult for me to collect at this point since they may not technically be late since April 1st hasn't passed yet. The contract also says that if I am awarded the money by a court, they will pay all legal fees it took to collect the money. The loan is in the name of the company (an LLC), and then lists the two owners. I know one of their employees (also a friend), and he says they owe him approximately 2k in back wages. He is frustrated because they are paying the employees that they have hired and don't know, but the 3 people that the owners "know" are not getting paid all their wages. At this point, I feel like the company is going under and I need to start some formal method to collect this money as I know if they file bankruptcy i'm basically SOL. The company has had approximately $300k in revenue this year, but they also have 20 or so (~9-10/hr) part time employees. So what's my course of action? Do I take them to small claims court? Any info you could provide would be much appreciated. I have a feeling that this is just going to be an expensive lesson to never lend money to friends/family with an intention of getting it back.
Radeon HD 6670This only uses the PCIe connection for power. This makes it a great card for people worried about their power supply limitations. If you bought the Vostro 460 earlier I would guess that you would be able to use this card on the 300w PSU, but I'm not to well versed on those kinds of things so research it yourself first.

So, I run a service business. Basically, we help people that are looking for cars by negotiating for them. When we were planning, we anticipated that many of our clients would be higher income people who wanted to save time and hassle, as well as people who were intimidated by the car buying process.What has happened, however, is that most of our clients have been people from other countries living in the US: grad students, professionals, etc. Where I live there is a large university with lots international students, as well as a decent number of hispanics and some other immigrants. I speak passable spanish: I can order at a restaurant, but not business level. My question is, what are some good ways to market more to internationals, as they seem to have been most responsive? I'd like to keep it lower cost: flyers, events, etc.
I found a few sweepstakes I thought I'd share if anyone is interested. The first one is a sweepstakes for a new Taylormade R11 iron set. The new irons are now available for pre-order and are being sold for $999, so this would be a big win. Most people say the irons are going to be a cross between the TM Burners and CB irons.
Information on contest can be found with the link below....http://www.freebirdee.com/prizes/win-taylor-made-r11-irons-and-p...The other sweepstakes is for a limited edition white Cobra S3 driver. This driver is supposed to be very forgiving and the ball is supposed to fly very straight, so it is definitively worth a shot at trying to win. This club is a $350 value and drawing is in 12 days. The information on that contest can be found here...http://www.freebirdee.com/prizes/limited-release-cobra-s3-driver...The last and final sweepstakes I came across was a golf trip for 4 people to Blue Heron Pines in Atlantic City. The trip package is worth $1350 and includes cart fees, practice range fees, accommodations, and a food voucher. The sweepstakes can be entered with the link below...http://www.freebirdee.com/prizes/atlantic-city-golf-trip-to-blue...That is what I found, hope you guys enjoy and best of luck to anyone who enters there are some really great prizes being offered here.
Long-time FWF poster here, using a pseudonym for anonymity. Critique my plan:Age: 30
Current Net Income: $60k
Current Annual Expenses:$15k
Expected Annual Raises: 10% to 20% minimum for 5 years - if my employer doesn't offer it, I can easily get this bonus by switching companies
Industry: Specialized Niche Consulting Field Operating In Low-Cost of Living Area, Traveling World-Wide to Clients - I do not wish to give specifics; please don't pry as this is part of my anonymity due to the niche field.Student Loans: $120k in government loans at ridiculous rates on income-based repayment plan. With creative accounting, I pay virtually nothing towards this and one reason I wish to retire early, is so that I may never have to pay this off. It's effectively a 15% tax on ever marginal dollar of earned income, putting me in the "55% tax bracket" thus reducing my motivation to work when I can only keep 45 cents of every additional dollar.Current Assets: $150k primarily in IRAs and 401ks, built up over the last 10 years.Goal: $400k in assets.My projections suggest that I can hit $400k in assets in 4 to 5 years of working at my current job. I will be 35 years old, unmarried, with no children, and a vasectomy. I live a quiet lifestyle and enjoy doing things myself rather than paying people to do them. Thus, my living expenses will be very low in retirement since I don't mind spending 10 hours learning to fix my toilet than paying a plumber $100 to do it in 15 minutes. Theoretically, one could argue that my hourly rate at work now is $40 about an hour and it would make little sense to forgo the opportunity cost of working 10 hours to learn to fix a toilet when I could gross $400. However, after IBR, FICA, State/Federal taxes, that $400 is $180. And I would rather spend 10 hours screwing around with my toilet, than doing the same boring consulting work that I have done forever.The tentative plan is once I hit $400k to buy a $150k house in a rural area. Perhaps something around 1000 square feet in a 2/1. Then I keep $250k as my savings. I can do 4% withdrawal rate and take out $10k per year, adjusted for inflation, to live on. $10k doesn't sound like much, but if I am cooking all my own meals, fixing all my broken stuff, and not driving to work everyday, it's plenty.Additionally, I don't intend to sit on my ass all day in "retirement" playing video games. I can do various part-time work at $40 an hour using skillsets I have picked up throughout the years. So my $10k from passive investments can easily be supplemented with another $5k to $10k by working on average 3 to 6 hours a week. That might also translate to working on a big project for a client for 80-hours a week for 2 weeks a year and taking 11 months off. I can live like a king on $20k a year, in a paid-off-house in a rural area.Another big benefit is transparency in costs and finances. If I am only able to take $10k per year from passive investments, but I decide I want to buy a new computer/vacation/widget, I can make a highly conscious decision on whether I want to work for this item. For example, if the computer is $2,000 and I know I can earn $40 an hour, I have consciously decided to go from a completely non-working state, to a state where I work 50 hours at $40 an hour, to buy the computer. Thus, the decision is whether to trade 50 hours of my life energy into this computer, or whether I can just go without the new computer. When you are already working 60 hours a week, with no clear retirement goal in sight, making stupid unnecessary purchases is more commonplace because they are opaque. You can't clearly see 20 years into the future and realize "if I buy this new computer now, then I have to work one more month when I am 55 years old." I believe that's a large driver of wasteful spending in developed nations today. If everyone was self-sufficient in their needs, and didn't want to work except for wants, there would be less "wants" due to the transparency in the trade-off.I frequently hear people tell me how expensive healthcare costs will be as I age. My response is that if I am retired at 35, I can eat healthy, have little to no stress of an alarm clock, sleep 9 hours a night, go to the gym daily, go for a nice walk through the park daily, and maintain an appropriate weight and eating style. I will be very healthy and able to reduce medical expenses. There are unexpected expenses, but for that there is high deductible health plans. Additionally, we have EMTALA in the US that prevents an emergency department from turning you away. IRAs are protected from creditors so if my $250k is in an IRA, and my home is paid off in a state that protects homes from creditors, then I have nothing a hospital can take from me, if I cannot afford a procedure. I have no intentions of defrauding or scamming a hospital, and do have intentions on buying HDHP insurance. I mention this only in a very small probability of event where I do run into huge medical bills, this does not destroy my retirement plans as all my assets are shielded.On a more FWF note, if I am retired and have all the time in the world, I can negotiate rates for medical procedures, review scientific literature to ensure the recommended procedure is worth my money, and take better control of my healthcare decisions, as opposed to letting a health insurance company with profit-driven motives make that determination.I know some at FWF will scoff at my idea to live in a $150k home on $10k per year. Personally I scoff at people working into their 40s, 50s, and 60s, that are 50lbs+ overweight, with diabetes, grey hair, stressed out, just so they can afford to buy a new car every few years, or live in a bigger house they don't need, or be able to avoid having to do anything for themselves because they can hire a specialist to fix their toilet, car, etc. I don't want to be a fat, stressed out, helpless old man who is stuck in a job with no ability to leave due to my dependance on that weekly paycheck.I write this post not to ask for a critique of my future lifestyle because that's my individual decision. I write it for financial purposes for advice on my numbers. Assume that my asset projections are correct and in 5 years when I am 35, I will have $400k in assets - approximately $250k in 401k/IRAs, and $150k in taxable savings. This is a modest forecast and I will likely have closer to $500k saved up.The theory is when using substantially equal period payments, I can shift my IRAs into multiple accounts so that I initiate SEPP only on an appropriately sized IRA chunk that gives me $10k per year, adjusted for inflation. Since my income will be below the poverty line, IBR student loan payments turn off. Also I won't pay income taxes since I get the standard deduction/personal exemption. I never paid taxes on these 401ks/IRAs going in, and I will never pay taxes coming out. This is another reason for early retirement. The goal is to pay the fewest taxes over my lifetime while maximizing my value of living.It's always a good idea to have contingency plans so mine is to do a limited amount of part-time work every year, in my industry, to stay active. So if in a few years I wind up needing another $100k, I can re-enter the job market full-time and have a way to show continuous work experience. Due to the nature of my industry, I can easily play the NDA card to avoid revealing my clients or the nature of number of hours worked over the past years. As long as I remain moderately active by working 50 hours per year, I can stay on top of developments and changes.I'd like to hear FWF critique my plan. I'd also like to know if anyone is considering something similar, or perhaps if some ideas have inspired you to modify your future goals.
Some people get it to work adequately, some don't. Mine works as long as I place the receiver alarm in the home near the garage. The beeping noise is loud enough to hear on the first floor of the house, but not the second floor. I liked it enough to put a second one on the second garage door. The receiver can be set to beep differently to indicate which garage door is open or if both are open. One problem was the stickers were not able to keep the sensor part on very long. There was no place to use screws to attach the sensor to the garage door. I solved that issue by simply buying a small clamp to physically clamp the sensor in the proper position. I've had the units for over 6 months now and the clamp has not been any problem, the receiver works every time, and I have avoided absent-mindedly leaving the garage door open. LINKYou can probably purchase for less if you search around.LINK for longer range sensor (receiver not included)
For verizon customers my verizon perks has the Dyson 12'' Air Multiplier Bladeless Fan (Silver color) for 166.70 + 10 shipping, less than the "street price" on eBay for a brand new one. Originally 329.99. This is for people in the market who are looking and willing to purchase this fan for its aesthetic or technical value. Lest this thread fill with vapid comments, please note that it is common knowledge that many have ambivalence toward this product's value proposition. You do not need to post your sentiment concerning your perceived merits of the product, even if you think you are a particularly special and unique snowflake. Doing so only demonstrates your abundant free time and insignificance publicly.

I'm not an economic guru, but I think I've done a fair amount of research on our current economic situation. The following sums up what has been worrying me. I'm posting yet another the world is ending thread in FWF to see what some more financially savvy people think on the subject.Obviously the following video is a scare video, but what the people are saying in the video makes sense to me. The root problems of the economic system have not been addressed. The money thrown at the problem has only made it worse. And they claim the worst is yet to come.Start at :48 to skip scare paper headings.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7e8GMfjgE58&feature=relatedThe common theme in FWF seems to be that people are panicking and everything will be fine in the long run. Anyone care to address the situation explained at 1:53? Seems accurate to me. A lot of the video seems probable.The GOP is refusing to raise taxes on the rich to help balance our budget. The middle class is getting systematically decimated by the rich. Corrupt politicians are not going to change this anytime soon if ever.Simply, I see the system as unsustainable. Please educate me if this is not accurate. Unlike most people, I don't want to be right, I want to know the truth.Edit: Another video that addresses the above:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dHle_turjes&NR=1

Good Morning:My wife and I are counting down the days until our vacation. On August 31-September 6, we are flying to Kona Hawaii. (Thanks FatWallet!) We have our flight and hotel and will be staying at the Hilton Waikoloa Village. Realizing this is Hawaii, we know we will be spending the majority of our money on dining and entertainment. So I would like to ask you if you have any tips or advice for our trip relating to these topics. Appreciate any help and I hope I wrote this clearly enough and with enough detail for you.DINING (going out): We are Hilton Diamond HHonors members, but I have heard the hotel does not have an Executive/Breakfast area - so they credit the account $20/day. Dining on site is very expensive, though I did find a 10% coupon (wow!) for one of the restaurants. There are other restaurants in the area and if we have to just suck it up and spend $80-$100 a meal, that is fine. I'm cheap - but not greedy. We saved on our flight and hotel so we can splurge on meals and are happy to help support tourism in this beautiful state.SNACKING (eating in): I have researched and there is a grocery store (Whalers General Store) on the Hilton property that charges a lot and doesn't have a lot of selection. There is a WalMart that is about a 30 minute drive - but we did not plan to rent a car. Grocery Delivery from Aliigrocerydelivery.com is $30.00, depending on if Hilton provides us a bar area/refrigerator, this might save us a lot of money. safeway has free delivery, but I am not sure if they deliver to this area. Does anyone have any experience?EVENTS: While the point of the trip is to just do nothing, we would like to explore the area. We are considering one of the tours. Maybe a volcano tour, etc. Not so much into snorkeling or meeting dolphins, but would appreciate any suggestions.TRINKETS/DOO-DADS: If we visit WalMart (see SNACKING) I have read we can pick up Kona coffee very cheap there. But of course we will want to bring back STUFF for people, of course coffee. Where is the most cost effective place to purchase gifts? Local vendors? ABC? Thank you!

Link to the first of the epic FWF housing bubble threadsThis thread inspired by gold bubble pop comments hereThe purpose of this thread is to discuss if there is a precious metals bubble, and, if there is, discuss what might pop it.As many of you know, I value FWF primarily for its predictive value as a contrary indicator. Whenever you get 3 or more threads in a week saying you should buy XYZ, it's nearly always a good time to sell. And whenever you get 3 or more panic threads in a week, it's often a good time to buy.If there was any moral to the original housing bubble thread, it was not that people incorrectly predicted a bubble, but that they may have been too early. As for me, the current FWF focus on SHTF scenarios seems like a strong signal that things may actually start to get better. I don't know where or how, but I trust FWF to be consistently wrong when it comes to investments.As for precious metals -- specifically gold and silver -- many of you may recall me being one of the first here to be buying gold 10 years ago. (That was under a different member id. It got banned because I did a very bad thing. Repeatedly. But that's OT.) I bought gold when it was selling for less than the average cost of production. Most below $300 and the rest below $400. Back then people thought I was a nutcase for buying something that had been dead money for a generation.Today, gold sells for roughly 3x the cost of production and silver sells for anywhere from 2x to much much higher depending on whose model you use.To me, it all feels very much like how residential real estate felt in 2005. So why do I care? I still hold a fair amount of gold and silver. I don't want to sell too early and miss out on profits. Similarly, I do not want to hold on to long and be stuck with what I think will be tragically lower prices.I'll start off the discussion by saying I do think precious metals and specifically gold and silver are in a bubble.I think at least 3 things have the potential to pop the bubble, either individually or in combination
1. Rising interest rates increase the carrying cost of gold and gold loans form the current near zero to 3-4%, thereby making it much more expensive to park money in gold
2. Mining capital expenditures currently in process come on line significantly increasing the annual production of PM
3. The current banking/currency panic abates, as all panics eventually doWhat do you think might pop the bubble?Note: Any political posts or SHTF posts will be OT for the purposes of this thread.
Summary:
Bought a condo in September 2010 and due to poor noise insulation and hardwood floors in the above unit Im sleep deprived and cant stand living there. HOA cant do anything, cant spend enough to fix problem, cant sell, and upstairs people unwilling to budge. Need to figure out the best thing to do in this situation.Background:
Live in Orange County, CA.
Was tired of the rental living life and decided to buy a condo so I could settle down.
27 years old. Make a good living. Full employer match in 401K, participate in work stock purchase plan. Dont contribute to Roth IRA yet but Im planning to.
$40k cash
$25k (vested) 401K
$25k student loan debt
$230k owed on condo (4.5% APR @ 30yr)Story:
Got tired of living out of boxes and totes moving from apartment to apartment and decided to buy a condo so I could settle down. Figured condo purchase would be OK. Been to a lot and never experienced a neighbor noise problem before. Spent a lot of time searching and finally found a place. Two bed, two bath, two car detached garage, 1000 square feet, single level on bottom floor with one unit above. Visited this place no less than 6 times and never heard the people above me. Only explanation is that they must have never been home. Bought the place and moved in early October. Didnt take long for me to regret this. Noticed the noise pretty much the first night I lived there. The majority of low and high frequency noise is transmitted through the floors and walls resulting in uncomfortable living conditions. While the people upstairs behave normally the lack of noise insulation means I hear their television, conversations, walking around, cooking, cleaning, moving chairs in and out of the dining room table, cutting food on the kitchen counter tops, opening and closing dresser drawers, moving closet doors, showering, dishwasher running, laundry machines running, using the bathroom, alarm clocks, dropping small items on the floor, and intercourse. Its not like these are subtle thing. I hear every little detail of the small stuff (like phone vibrating after receiving a text or taking a piss) and bigger stuff like walking around or moving closet doors shakes my entire place. One person wakes up around 4:45-5:00AM and the other around 7AM. Their bedroom is directly above mine. So basically Im up twice in the morning before I normally wake at 8AM. I tried to deal with it for two months but the amount of noise is absolutely absurd. If theyre home I cant stand being there. Like Hulk rage status. I would find some reason to leave and come back as late as possible. In December I asked what the HOA could do and after 4 months of back and forth they had nothing. As far as they care the place was built to code and there are no requirements for installing hardwood floors. Basically SOL. Did the research on what it would take to fix the place and it would be really expensive for potentially marginal gains.Cant sell the place without taking a loss. Closing costs (from purchase), commissions, and generally selling underwater will leave me on the hook for a lot of money. While no comparable units have sold in the complex since I bought mine (scary), the asking price for the units currently on the market have fallen at least 10%. I could try renting the place but there are a few things not going in my favor:
The kitchen is original 1980. Functional, just old and tired. Doesnt look good.
Noise from above unit.
Rents seem to be getting a lot of downward price pressure right now.
Total cost to own right now (Mort + HOA + Taxes + Ins) is $1900.
Id be lucky to get any nibbles at $1900. Most likely $1700 or $1650 per month. There arent many places to compare rents. Most anything 2b+2b+2garage are single family homes.If I rent it out Ill have to find a new place to live, and its difficult to find a rental with a two car garage besides a house. I could buy another condo with an FHA or Homepath mortgage but I could end up in the same place AND Im exposing myself to HUGE amounts of risk. I could stretch and buy a tried and old single family home but then I wont be able to save any money and I would be living in a tired, old, crappy, expensive California home and exposing myself to huge risk.I could walk away but I dont know how quickly theyll turn on me (living rent free for a year or two would be awesome). Also it seems like now your credit score is the most important thing you have and Im hesitant to destroy it.Any advice or suggestions for my situation?________________________________________8-20 Updates______________________________________
Revised some of the financial status.Added results of looking into fixing the condo:Ceiling:
Bedroom only is about $8k.
Entire Condo is about $30k.
Less robust entire condo is $25k.
Even less robust entire condo is $15k.
Have short ceilings as it is and this will take them down by about two inches.
Modifying the flooring upstairs unit:The raw materials cost is a little bit lower, but the amount of work to get everything done will be higher, the net results will be an improvement but not as good as modifying the ceiling, and then I still have to get buy in from the upstairs owners. They will be losing about 1.5" of ceiling because their floor will get raised.

Long time lurker here posting what I think to be one of the better deals for Paradise Island I have seen. The wife and I are going for just a tad over what airfare alone would cost.
Was looking for cheap getaway. Bahamas never seems to fall into that category. Some really good rates - even at Atlantis.
Example... 7 nights mid Oct Mid Week... Atlantis Beach Tower (cheapest of all of the Atlantis options)Just a tad over $1400 total (watch those taxes!) for two people. Decent air from many departures for most days of the week - not just one window with crazy layovers and such. Plug in your wishes and give it a roll.
Before snagging, be sure to read reviews so there are no surprises but FWers know this already .
The biggie there is expensive eats also the 15% gratuity auto-added seems to bother some.And FW readers will want to browse here to find a code that will give you a little break on the bottom line (not much but every little bit helps).Linkie to Bookit Bahamas PageCheers!
I have been reverse baiting (mostly) Nigerian scammers. I would get a standard 419 scam email from them and would reply with something like this: I am not interested in your proposal but I own a book translation business and we are looking for reliable people who are fluent in the local tribal language (there are multiple in Nigeria) to transalate classic books. We pay by the page and we pay as you complete each batch of 100 pages. The going rate is $7.50 US dollars per page....blah blah blah. After I signed them up by emailing them a contract they would start the work. I had them physically mail me 100 pages to my P.O. box. Once I got it I would find a reason to reject the work (it was done in pencil and we only accept pen, it should have been double spaced, the margins are incorrect, etc...). Anyway the whole ideal was to make them waste their time and resources so it wouldn't be spent scamming people.
I usually checked their email headers / IP addresses to confirm they were Nigerians before I started this process. I have had as many as 8 employees at one time physically writing out books like Moby Dick, the New Testament, etc, in their local dialect.
Anyway, I let one get buy me because I was lazy, who was using a gmail address. Gmail will not give up the originating IP through the email header. I baited him anyway and to make this short, I got a summons yesterday that I signed for listing a John Doe/owner of the P.O. box. I am being sued for money owed and am supposed to submit an answer to the suit. I welcome any advice. Thanks.

The program is available for 9.95$, but it will be free for our visitors as a time-limited offer. It is 2074.Astronomers from around the world are watching an asteroid crash into the surface of Mars leaving a huge crater. Clouds of dust and vapor hide the surface of the planet for several long months. Communication with all Martian research stations is lost. When the clouds clear away, people send new spaceships to the Red planet.The spaceships send back shocking news. Hundreds of plants producing arms have been set up on the maimed surface of Mars. Thousands of machines stock the mineral deposits that had been brought to the surface by the massive explosion.A huge geothermal unit is running in the Center of the crater. Its energy creates a protection shield that extends beyond the planets atmosphere.The objective of the unknown aliens is absolutely clear: theyre building an army to conquer the Earth! So people are sending a small spaceship to the Red planet with one mission: blow up the shield generator so they can launch missile attacks from the orbit.The spaceship will have to land in an isolated area, and then try to infiltrate into the alien conspiracy.You are the commander of the spaceship, and the fate of the Earth is in your hands!
I was just shopping in Macy's for Texas Tax-free weekend and saw the already reduce All-Clad Cookware for an additional 40% OFF. Tag said one day sale, but if it is national the west coast people may have a chance.
Plus some Macy's are open late in Texas tonight.This was at the North Austin Lake Creek Mall.Example: 10pc set was 325+tax. ( I think the display was the last of this set).
Note sure what they had in stock, but saw some frying pans and 3.5 quart pots with lids.

Here is the deal. DIY auto Tune is running a deal. That anyone who "likes" them on Facebook will get a coupon for X% off their next order. The catch is the % is based on how many likes they get. If they reach 4500 likes the coupon will be 25% off. I do not know how many people on FW are into tuning their car but if you are this is a big deal. Even if you do not want the coupon if you could go out and like them just for the next week it would be a great deal.Right now the coupon would be worth 8% off. Facebook Linkhttp://www.facebook.com/pages/DIYAutoTunecom/57837395932I would think with the FW effect the 4500 mark will be knocked out pretty quick.
Thanks for the help and hope someone enjoys the % off.
We inhereted about $30k in mutual funds as my wife was a beneficiary. Her uncle had them in 9 different funds so each one has about $3k in it.Trowe price said we had to open an account in my wife's name, and move them (9 funds) to the same funds to avoid a tax "situation". I had asked them about moving these funds into a money market until we knew what we wanted to do. She said most people simply move the funds into the same mutual funds under the beneficiaries name to avoid a tax basis.My questions are
1. Do we have to claim this $30k on our taxes somehow and pay tax on it?
2. If i wanted to move all these into a money market fund at Trowe price, would there be some sort of tax event?thanks
I've heard about this from a friend. There are some below market short sales where its very difficult to get approved financing through a lender because of the condition of the home or HOA restriction. In these circumstances, banks are asking for cash only offers. My friend says that some people will borrow the cash from their relative to purchase the home and then take out a HELOC to repay their relatives immediately. Are there any problems with this type of financing? I'm looking at a place where the asking price is well under market value but must be an all cash transaction. I have about 40% of the cash but will need to borrow the rest from my wife and my parents. Sounds like a creative way of getting the home but are there any problems with this method?Please chime in with your knowledge. Anybody know of or try this before?thanks!

2:46 - Aftershocks: Stories from the Japan Earthquake
[Kindle Edition]
by William Gibson (Author), Yoko Ono (Author), Barry Eisler (Author), Jake Adelstein (Author), and othersSoftcover version is $11.99Product Description:
In just over a week, a group of unpaid professional and citizen journalists who met on Twitter created a book to raise money for Japanese Red Cross earthquake and tsunami relief efforts. In addition to essays, artwork and photographs submitted by people around the world, including people who endured the disaster and journalists who covered it, 2:46: Aftershocks: Stories from the Japan Earthquake contains a piece by Yoko Ono, and work created specifically for the book by authors William Gibson, Barry Eisler and Jake Adelstein. The primary goal, says the book's editor, a British resident of Japan, is to record the moment, and in doing so raise money for the Japanese Red Cross Society to help the thousands of homeless, hungry and cold survivors of the earthquake and tsunami. The biggest frustration for many of us was being unable to help these victims. I dont have any medical skills, and Im not a helicopter pilot, but I can edit. A few tweets pulled together nearly everything all the participants, all the expertise and in just over a week we had created a book including stories from an 80-year-old grandfather in Sendai, a couple in Canada waiting to hear if their relatives were okay, and a Japanese family who left their home, telling their young son they might never be able to return." If you'd like to make a donation to aid the victims of the March 11 earthquake and tsunami, please visit the Japanese Red Cross Society website, where you can donate via Paypal or bank transfer (watch out for the fees, though!) or the American Red Cross Society, which accepts donations directed to its Japan Earthquake and Pacific Tsunami fund (but only accepts donations made with U.S.-issued credit cards). And of course, if you like the book, please tell your friends, and tell them to give generously as well! Thank you! Japan really does appreciate your help!5.0 out of 5 Stars (27 Reviews)

I am looking to buy a new house and trying to decide between a 30yr fixed and 5yr arm, planing to stay for more then 5 years. I have been checking rates on Bank Rate and it seems that Penfed conforming mortgages are no longer competitive. Jumbo loans still seem good.Penfed 30yr rates are competitive but the 1% origination fee kinda kills the deal.Penfed 5yr arm is higher then most but Penfed is a 5/5 arm. Any comments from people buy who recently bought? Did you go 30yr fixed or 5yr arm. I know the situation is different for everyone.Thanks
Update: The price below has been extended as I just ordered some more today 8-17-11 for others and it is the same price of $2.21 per pound for Haribo Gummi even though on the Amazon item webpage it says expires 8-15-11. If you order some, see that the subtotal, before any tax, is $11.07 ($2.21 per pound) by executing the steps below, like I did today 8-17-11.

================================================================================= $2.21 for 16 oz (one pound) of Germany quality Haribo Gummi Grapefuit (grapefruit has excellent reviews on Amazon), Haribo Gummi Clownfish, Haribo Gummi Twin Cherries, Haribo Gummi Colas, Haribo Gummi Bears, so on of the many varieties.Bagged in 5 pounds bags for $11.07 ($2.21 for one pound of Haribo), $11.07 price for the Haribo 5 pound bags that are currently on sale for $14.77 (then discounted down to $11.07), many varieties. The other 5 pound bag varieties that are currently on sale at a higher price get the same % off of 15% and another 10% off, but logically the final discounted price is higher because of the higher starting sale price. Free ship on $25 of any items on Amazon eligible for free shipping, and Haribo Gummi are included in the free shipping. Expires today, Monday, 8-15-2011, at midnight.Haribo on sale is notable because the percentage of people feel these are the best manufacturer of gummi, Haribo from Germany. Haribo gummi has a stiffer and chewier consistency to the texture of the gummi and a balanced sweetness to the flavor, as virtually all who have tried Haribo would agree. Haribo Gummi does not taste cheap and are not mushy like other gummis and many people like them, why it is a great gift (and for eating). Many varieties are well reviewed/reviewed on Amazon.Happens to beat WalMart ~prices~ by a good margin. Beats WalMart ~variety~ by just about the most colossal difference possible including Amazon has flavors that are very difficult to find anywhere (and at a stellar price to boot). Where I shopped at, WalMart in Orange County in Southern California, a 5 ounce bag is exactly or almost exactly 98cents, Haribo Gold-Bears, so at this price, 16 ounces would be $3.14. Furthermore, WalMart has a direly limited selection of exactly one flavor and only one size in that one flavor (or at virtually the most, two sizes, in that one flavor), the Haribo Gold-Bear flavor in 5 ounce bag, versus on Amazon they have a dizzying array that are in stock, at least currently in stock, and at prices that beat WalMart. (Many a time, I was not able to order something from the forums at fatwallet because it was already out of stock.)I noticed shipping to California, there is no tax whereas shipping to New York City incurs an approximately 9% tax on food (on these gummi). Just a few steps to the price above:1. Below is the link of all in stock Haribo sold by Amazon. To get the best varieties from the consensus of the reviewers, good to arrange the gummi varieties by best reviews, by, after clicking on link below, on the top right side labeled "Sort by", select "Average Customer Review" from the drop down box as it will not link directly:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/search/ref=sr_pg_1?rh=n%3A16310101%2Ck%...
2. The above link includes sizes other than 5 pounds as it is Haribo in all flavors and all sizes that are in stock sold by Amazon. The other sizes are interesting to browse because they offer so many different flavors and shapes, and may be worth it to order. A note that these other sizes are costlier. The 5 pound bags are the best value.
3. On the right hand side, click "Subscribe & Save" to get 15% off the price. You may decide later to cancel your subscription of Subscribe & Save after the order ships, by going to Your Account at Amazon. There is no obligation to continue with Subscribe & Save as it says on the item webpage.
4. Save 10% when you enter code HARIBOO8 at checkout.
5. Doing the above steps will bring your price down to $11.07 for 5 pounds ($2.21 for one pound).
6. I've done the above for many many orders today of gummi as gifts (and for myself) and it flawlessly works each time. No problems.I've done the above steps for many many orders today of gummi as gifts (and for myself), and never a problem. It flawlessly works each time today. I read the reviews for almost all the varieties as I was ordering gifts (and for myself). Here were flavors that sounded intriguing after checking out the reviews on Amazon:Haribo Gummi in red raspberry flavor in link below sounds interesting from the reviews as it has a rather crunchy exterior with a Haribo gummi chewy interior and in addition, seeds inside
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000EVMNP0/ref=rcxsubs_mys2_product_tit...Haribo striped clownfish is some of the goofiest looking gummi so I ordered them. They looked so funny and fun! The reviews said they taste great in flavor too which is expected from Haribo.
http://www.amazon.com/Haribo-Gummi-Candy-Clown-5-Pound/dp/B000EV...Haribo Gummi in Alphabet Letters are good for small children to help familiarize them with the alphabet. The letter shapes are large, would cover the top of a cupcake, so easy to handle for small fingers and small children. The different flavors in Alphabet Letters taste like the flavors in Haribo Gold-Bears.
http://www.amazon.com/Haribo-Gummi-Alphabet-Letters-5-Pound/dp/B...I'm one of those people who never liked black licorice yet after reading the reviews in the link below, I wonder if I ever ate real black licorice as the people reviewing the Haribo black licorice made such a clamor about the difference between real black licorice ingredients from Haribo and other manufacturers of black licorice in the reviews. The coiled black licorice wheels can be unrolled into a long rope shape. (Red strawberry licorice can be found by clicking approximately red licorice at the top of the page in the link below.)

With free shipping for such high weight, 50 pounds of Haribo gummi for each gift, I ordered the number of gifts and no shipping fees for 50 pounds. I viewed this as a fun and good gift because Amazon has so many rare varieties, I sent one of each flavor, and it becomes a fun project for gift recipient to discover which flavor they like the best (at a great price) and saves time for the gift recipient so they don't have to scour the local stores for these flavors and/or after time spent scouring the local stores, probably will not be able to find the flavors. I ordered 50 pounds as a gift because I like sending something that makes impact rather than smaller sized or small sized gifts. I saw it as a good gift as well to send to those who have a family with kids because these can be kept handy in purses etc to quiet kids...and everywhere else for adults, on desks at work, etc. Haribo Gummi does not taste cheap and are not mushy like other gummis and many people like them, why it is a great gift (and for eating). Some in the Amazon reviews said the gelatin in the gummis help their nails and hair. I have no information on this but I thought it was interesting. (I'm female, to pick up on fingernails and hair.)People in the reviews advised to keep gummis in sealed tupperware or sealed ziploc bags to maintain freshness.Thumbs up to fatwallet and sites like fatwallet - I have noticed, shopping from fatwallet deals in the past, pursuit of a better quality of life, because you can stretch your dollar farther or for the same amount of money and/or you can get much better quality or variety.
Dick Smith is offering 50% off the new Vodafone Pocket Wifi 2. Pocket Wifi 2 supports 2100, 900 and 850 mhz - all 3 UMTS bands used in Australia. This deal seems to be only available online - so that means you need to pay for postage.The modem appears to Huawei E585u-82. It is unclear whether it can be unlocked in the same way as a E585. I know most people don't like Vodafone, but this modem, if unlocked, will work for all AUS mobile networks (including Telstra/NextG).Hopefully, it is not a pricing error and it is indeed the new Pocket Wifi 2.DSE is also offering 50% off for Pocket Wifi 1 (same price). For the same price, it is probably better to get Pocket Wifi 2 (assuming it can be unlocked just as easily).Info about how to unlock E585 (V1) - not sure whether it is applicable to E585u-82 (V2):http://techwizzardry.wordpress.com/2011/06/18/unlocking-the-huawei-e585-mifi-3g-device-from-three-uk-for-free/

Ok here is the thing I have banco popular, I paid my bills thru them well because I recently move I am no longer close to one of there branches, the other day i decided to add my chase account so like that i could withdraw money from chase using banco popular. when i did this i took out $2,500.00 from chase to transfer it to banco popular doing it thru there website banco popular. been that after two days i had a current balance in banco popular of $2,500 and I decided to make payments to 3 different company now switching to today I am seen that they return me all the money i paid to this company and in top of that they are charging me return fee of $30.00 for each transaction a total of $90.00 bucks not only that those company i make payments to have to return that money to banco popular and also they are gonna charge me $30.00 bucks each so in total is gonna be $180.00. my question is this i call them i explain to them that my account never fell below zero they told me that the problem is that my available balance did fall under 0.00 even thought during that time my current balance was still showing i had money.they told me that the $2,500 were showing current balance but they were not available to me until the next day after i had made all those payments. SO MY QUESTION IS THIS is there a law that protect consumer from such stuff like this.UPDated 1 People relax about my grammar, that's all you guys and gals look for in how to make fun of people. Ok I am aware that of current balance and available balance I know the difference the reason why I went ahead and made the payments was because I have chase and that bank never done thing like and I have had the same thing happen on chase that i deposit a check thru my iphone and the fund was not clear but i had a current balance and i took out money and they never charge me a fee because of that.the reason why I was looking for help to get this fees paid back was because I thought that when you sign the paper to opt out of overdraft charges i thought this was included. when i call they told me its only for debit card transactions. any ways thank you does who gave me good answers and I guess I learn the moral of all this best bet is just to close the Banco Popular account.

Saw this on another forum. A guy paid $25 to have his oil analyzed on his Prius. His analysis showed he should change his oil every 11,500 miles. At a cost of $25, this could save some money on how often your oil should really be changed. Which is better for the environment too. Looks like they also give you notes about your engine and how it compares to same/similar engines. I am in no way affiliated with this company, but it seems interesting. Information about the test and their website here.Anyone has experience with this type of analysis? It seems like a worthwhile $25 investment. They seem like a decent company with quite a comical FAQ: Do I need to have one of your kits to send in a sample?
No. You can send it in any package that won't leak. Notice the key words here: won't leak. Any clean and dry container with a screw-on cap should be okay. Bad choices for the mail include Tupperware, film canisters, pickle jars, and aspirin bottles. Believe me, nothing ruins my day like opening an oil sample and getting oil all over my clothes.How about tape? Will it help if I tape the hell out of it?
Apparently everyone loves tape. We get so much tape on oil sample containers that we should be in the used-tape business. But you know what doesn't work very well? Scotch tape. Don't do it. It's really not any good. Our apologies to the Scotch tape people. Now electrical tape...that's tape we can respect.
1000 lbs set of steel loading ramps from Harbor Freight is $39.99 with a coupon. They are very heavy and strong ramps, I own a set. You may want to wear gloves not to cut yourself the back has some sharp edges. They are nice to leave on the trailer or track not many people want to steal it plus it is not too expensive to replace.

I am sure there are lot of people of Indian origin in this forum. I have been lately looking to buy something in Mumbai. Being in US, its very difficult to get idea on what prices are currently being quoted in various areas, and in various projects. I would appreciate if people who may have recently (in past 6 months) obtained quotes from builders/brokers, can share them.I also hear that a correction in imminent. I would like to see what you all think about that.Thanks in advance !
$2.21 for 16 oz (one pound) of Germany quality Haribo Gummi Grapefuit (grapefruit has excellent reviews on Amazon), Haribo Gummi Clownfish, Haribo Gummi Twin Cherries, Haribo Gummi Colas, Haribo Gummi Bears, so on of the many varieties.Bagged in 5 pounds bags for $11.07 ($2.21 for one pound of Haribo), $11.07 price for the Haribo 5 pound bags that are currently on sale for $14.77 (then discounted down to $11.07), many varieties. The other 5 pound bag varieties that are currently on sale at a higher price get the same % off of 15% and another 10% off, but logically the final discounted price is higher because of the higher starting sale price. Free ship on $25 or more of any items on Amazon eligible for free shipping, and Haribo Gummi are included in the free shipping. Expires today, Monday, 8-15-2011, at midnight.Haribo on sale is notable because the percentage of people feel these are the best manufacturer of gummi, Haribo from Germany. Haribo gummi has a stiffer and chewier consistency to the texture of the gummi and a balanced sweetness to the flavor, as virtually all who have tried Haribo would agree. Haribo Gummi does not taste cheap and many people like them, why it is a great gift (and for eating). Many varieties are well reviewed/reviewed on Amazon.Happens to beat WalMart ~prices~ by a good margin. Beats WalMart ~variety~ by just about the most colossal difference possible including Amazon has flavors that are very difficult to find anywhere (and at a stellar price to boot). Where I shopped at, WalMart in Orange County in Southern California, a 5 ounce bag is exactly or almost exactly 98cents, Haribo Gold-Bears, so at this price, 16 ounces would be $3.14. Furthermore, WalMart has a direly limited selection of exactly one flavor and only one size in that one flavor (or at virtually the most, two sizes, in that one flavor), the Haribo Gold-Bear flavor in 5 ounce bag, versus on Amazon they have a dizzying array that are in stock, at least currently in stock, and at prices that beat WalMart. (Many a time, I was not able to order something from the forums at fatwallet because it was already out of stock.)I noticed shipping to New York City incurs an approximately 9% tax on food (on these gummi) whereas shipping to California, there is no tax. For the above price, a few steps:1. Below is the link of all in stock Haribo sold by Amazon. To get the best varieties from the consensus of the reviewers, good to arrange the gummi varieties by best reviews, by, after clicking on link below, on the top right side labeled "Sort by", select "Average Customer Review" from the drop down box as it will not link directly:

2. The above link includes sizes other than 5 pounds as it is Haribo in all flavors and all sizes that are in stock sold by Amazon. The other sizes are interesting to browse because they offer so many different flavors and shapes, and may be worth it to order. A note that these other sizes are costlier. The 5 pound bags are the best value.
3. On the right hand side, click "Subscribe & Save" to get 15% off the price. You may decide later to cancel your subscription of Subscribe & Save after the order ships, by going to Your Account at Amazon. There is no obligation to continue with Subscribe & Save as it says on the item webpage.

So, my house. It isn't worth what it used to be and the rate isn't nearly as exciting as when I assumed its current mortgage. I can't refinance because it's likely underwater and I'm short on cash to make up the difference (pending divorce). To the best of my knowledge I do not qualify for HARP or any other programs. So I assume that I'm locked into this mortgage for now. However, FWF is full of smart, good-looking people so I want to check one more time whether I too get a bailout. Details:30-year fixed FHA. Assumed, which to the best of my knowledge precludes streamline refi.
Balance: $97K
Value of house on Mortgage: $114K (purchase price, April 2007)
Most recent appraisal (Dec 2010): $99K
Today's Zillow: $81K (Also, Zillow was $91K on Dec 2010 for comparison with appraisal)
Rate: 5.5% fixed. Plus an additional 0.5% MIP until 78% LTV (89K)
Stable job, excellent credit, never missed a payment.Once the divorce finalizes (end of this month) and I'm done with one year of alimony, I intend to simply aggressively pay this mortgage down. However, if there's some program under which I can do a refi, I'd definitely want to do that first.Thank you very much in advance for all your insights.

Get a 3DS for $99.99 with trade in of DS Lite, DSi or DSi XL. Very hot if you're trading in a DS Lite (even if you don't want the 3DS there's some easy money to be made).Now before you give me red "because the 3DS sucks" or whatever: why did you open this post?
Cap One is trying to press No Hassle account holders to switch to the Venture card. Seems like a bad deal to me. 1% cash is worth more than 1.25 miles, considering the exchange rate/buying power of miles is always terribly lossy. Does anyone see a good reason to make the switch to VentureOne?Poll: Red if 1.25 miles is better
Green if 1% cash is better
Here goes - I will be divorced several months down the road...I will be keeping the marital home as part of the agreement (still unfiled). Per the agreement i will have 48 months to refinance the house to remove her from the mortgage. Once the divorce is final and the terms, child support and spousal support kick in, I will not immediately qualify to refinance...hence the 48 months we put in to complete it.that being said, i hate the fact that the rates are as low as they are today...so my question is - if I refinanced now, and didn't mention anything about a pending divorce, if we removed her - will it raise any flags to the loan officers and/or underwriter? I know the most likely reason people remove a spouse IS due to divorce - and that's the point where it starts getting sticky.Right now I'd quality for the refi on my own w/o any problem...but i don't want to have to fork over money for an appraisal and then have them come back and ask us - why is your wife being removed from the note and can we have a copy of the divorce decree? Because legally we are still married right now...if I have to wait a few years I will but I've love to be able to get this out of the way now - for both our sakes...untangling finances sucks Thanks,
Eric
http://www.qtripper.com/travel-news/201108/95_225000-american-airlines-miles-credit-card-offers/You have to follow the instructions very carefully. There are some old promo's that Citibank has NOT taken down. There are no confirmation pages of the benefits, but many people are getting the cards with $0 annual fee + 75k miles.There are 2 cards:
75k Visa after spending $1500 within 6 months
75k AMEX after spending $4000 within 6 monthsYou have to apply to both cards at the same time to qualify to get the 150k miles because it is the same promotion code. If you don't, you will get denied for "first time applicant only"65 days later you apply for a Visa Business card that has 75k miles after spending $4000 within 6 months
I'm traveling to Paris for a job interview in early September. My wife and I are planning on heading over half a week early to adjust to the timezone and do a bit of sightseeing. We've been to Paris itself a number of times so I'm not really keen on staying there too much - and it should be the kind of interview where they'll wine/dine me so I should have plenty of time in Paris itself later in the week. Since people here seem to have a decent amount of travel experience, does anyone have great suggestions for short excursions out of Paris? When I say short, I'm thinking 1~3days ish. And I'm really leaning towards staying within France itself for this trip since I haven't spent much time there aside from Paris, whereas I've already seen the UK, Switzerland, Belgium, Netherlands, and a little bit each of Spain and Germany in the past. Thanks in advance!

A buddy of mine is in the market for a second home in a state different than his (FL). He has been receiving emails from this RE agent at that location for several weeks and now that he is about to visit FL to take a break, he wants to view some homes hoping to find a good deal ($75K cash).The agent asked him to send him a copy of pre-approval letter or bank statements to proof he has the money. He told this agent from the get-go that he was looking for a cash purchase. I told him that if it was me, I would never send any bank statements to an agent, even with the name and accent erased, and I would look for another agent - since when does a car salesman ask for proof of funds when shopping for an expensive vehicle?. I am not an agent nor an expert by any means and I know that there are people here who have been through situations like that. So I told my buddy I would ask the experts Is this standard procedure or should he look elsewhere?

Home Depot has a 50% rebate right now on various Ryobi tools, but most of those tools which qualify, don't include a battery or charger.
see this fatwallet thread for qualifying tools.Today's Home Depot ad showed the Ryobi P850 1/2 in. 18-Volt Cordless Drill Kit +2 batteries and charger for $80.00. Usually the batteries alone are $40.00, so you're basically getting the Cordless Drill for free.This Drill DOES NOT qualify for the 50% rebate, but what it DOES do, is provide you with 2 batteries and a charger which the other tools don't include.Lots of people were complaining on the other thread that the deal was a dud because you need to have the batteries to take advantage of it. So, here's the opportunity to get in.Home Depot Circular go to page 7 for the Ad
I've been thinking about the most convenient and important ways to safeguard one's important online and paper information, and wonder what people find easy and important to be doing in this regard. For example, the conventional wisdom is to shred my mail. But while bank account numbers could be stolen - they're on any check I write anyway. I don't think credit cards print account numbers on statements anymore ... and no one prints a SS# anywhere ... so I figure it's not such a big deal ... To start, here are the topics I've heard mentioned as worth considering - what do you think: what would you add or subtract from the list, what's the most important etc:SS# and birthdate: obviously don't give out willy nilly, but what about kids camps, schools etc?
Harddrives (do you lock/encrypt them) to protect vs a physical break-in?
Varying passwords / varying "mothers maiden name"
varying phone numbers
varying e-mails (using multi-user e-mail packages)
using a cookie management tool on your computer / browser
shredding mail / receiving paperless statements
backing up all account and customer service numbers incase of theft of the originals
encrypting e-mail communications
using virtual credit card numbers

Another Amazon MP3 album deal: 99 Must-Have Piano Masterpieces, by Various Artists, for $1.99.It's about 8.75 hours long; it appears, at least at first glance, to be one of those
that doesn't make a point of having full versions of multi-movement pieces, e.g.
only one part of Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata appears to be here.The first review has a better track list with the composers of each track and info on the collection--it's worth reading, esp. if you have other "99 Must Have..." collections (from Cobra), since apparently there's some repetition.

a few minor flaws).Reviews, track-samples and purchase-link here.Track-list: 1. Piano Sonata No.14 "Moonlight": I. Adagio sostenuto Evelyne Dubourg 5:19 2. Piano Concerto No.21 in C Major K. 467: II.

I have ADT security service at my store since last 3 yrs now i am going to close down the store in couple months so i called them & ask to cancel my service they said i signed 5 yrs contract with them which is minimum they offer for any small business but i was not informed at the time of signing up the contract and today when i called to cancel i was shocked as they asked for 75% of service fees for balance contract period as termination charges which is around $800 so please show me the way to come out of it as i am sure many people must have gone thru my situation.

This sounds like it will be good for people with a whole range of things they are dealing with. I like that you can customize it to track pretty much anything that affects your mood or is affected by it. Trouble sleeping? stress on the job? this list could go on....Optimism is a mood chart app that helps you develop strategies to manage depression, bipolar or other physical and mental health conditions.

It can be customized completely to suit your specific circumstances, making it relevant to any health condition that affects (or is affected by) mood.
Optimism provides good integration with health providers, with detailed histories that can be reviewed quickly.

It is grounded in preventative health and early intervention for better health outcomes.

I've been meaning to post this message for a while. It's a follow-up to an old thread. (But you can't post updates to threads once they've been archived.)Back in 2007, I posted here in the finance forum, basically blaming other people for getting myself into debt again, just 6 years after a bankruptcy. But wow did I get a hostile reaction from people, calling me whiney, irresponsible, etc!A lot of those comments bounced around my head for a long time... it took me about year to start to understand why they were right. I want to thank everybody who responded back then, but I want to give particular thanks to the following folks:jswede4722 : "The problem you have which is typical of those who claim bankruptcy. You never learned from your mistake." - that comment hit home as soon as I read it. It was probably the catalyst to get me to listen to what everybody else said and start on the path of actaully taking responsibility.Colecovision : all he did was quote my entire original post to preserve it, but that was Clue #1 that I was in the wrong.CrazyManRobert : he'd gone through some real problems. Mine were nothing in comparison, but I was whining like my problems were huge!hoffjm00 : "You are the reason why the bankruptcy laws changed. You abuse any privilege extended to you." - ouch.ZenNUTS : "Insurance IS A required part of your financial plan. Property/Health/Liablity/Disablity." - believe it or not, that was a revelation to me at the time.If you happen to read all the way through that old thread (and can manage to not gag at my lame attempts to defend myself), you'll notice that I was getting at least a little of what everybody was saying. But it took some time for me to really, really get it.Four years later, after a lot of hard work and frugality, I have only minimal credit card debt, have money in savings, am contributing a lot to my 401k, am insured all the way around, and my bankruptcy has fallen off my credit report. And, perhaps as important, I am thankful to just have a job - any job - at all.Do I make the 100% most optimal financial decision 100% of the time now? No, I'm still human - I just bought a new car instead of used one and I financed it instead of paying cash, for example - but I waited until my old car was was about to die, until I was in a position to get great financing (0% for 60 months!) and I shopped around like crazy to get the best deal. However, I know that I've moved beyond where I was emotionally and mentally about money and am more of an adult about it now.So anyway... thank you, ladies and gentlement, for giving it to me straight when I needed it.
CowBoom.com has the Samsung Captivate on sale today for $154.99 + tax. The phone is pre-owned, but comes with ac adapter, cable and manual. These are really nice phones. It is the GalaxyS for ATT, but is unlocked so it should work on Tmobile too, though I think that means web speeds would be slow on Tmobile. CowBoom has a pretty abysmal ResellerRating right now of 3.75/10 http://www.resellerratings.com/store/Cowboom From the individual ratings, it looks like people either love them or hate them.

'Abuse'
Originally released in 1996, Abuse is a 2-D scrolling action game made by Crack Dot Com--the company's one and only release. The genre has long been considered to be console and handheld fodder--think Contra and Castlevania--but Abuse is an excellent example of a 2-D action game optimized for the PC, earning an 8.6 rating from GameSpot (judged against the admittedly lowered expectations of mid-1990s game technologies). The graphics, average 10 years ago, have aged even more, but the innovative control scheme that uses the mouse to aim and fire make the game a blast to play. Factor in the easy learning curve and lowball system requirements, and you may find those "coffee breaks" at work stretching for longer than 15 minutes.Download complete Windows port (2.3MB) from rocket-surgery.net: Free download

'America's Army: Special Forces'
The original version of America's Army, released in 2002, was a better-than-average online multiplayer shooter. But what set it apart from the legion of other Counter-Strike clones were its impressive visuals (powered by the Unreal graphics engine) and its price--or lack thereof. Unlike all the other games on this list that began as commercial ventures, America's Army was always intended as a giveaway. That's because it's an unapologetic recruiting tool for the real U.S. Army, which funds its development. While it's unclear how many people the game has converted into real-life soldiers, the game itself continues to rank among the top 10 online shooters, thanks in part to frequent updates; Windows users get the latest 2.8.2 "Overmatch" version, while Mac users are stuck with the older 2.5 "Direct Action." Just make sure your rig meets the somewhat formidable system requirements before you download the mammoth installation file, which tips the scales at almost 3GB.

'Command & Conquer'
Before Age of Empires, Starcraft, and even Total Annihilation, there was Command & Conquer. (OK, OK... Dune II was the real groundbreaker, but Command & Conquer was the bigger mainstream hit.) Pitting the "Global Defense Initiative" versus the nefarious "Brother of Nod," C&C refined many of the control and play conventions still found in the real- time strategy genre to this day. To celebrate the 12th anniversary of the original game's release, EA (which absorbed the C&C developer Westwood Games in the late 1990s) has released the original game--along with the Brotherhood of Nod expansion pack--for free. A couple of caveats on this one, however. The files provided are CD ISO images, which means you'll need to burn a couple of CDs after downloading (Nero or roxio will do the trick; otherwise, try the freeware CDBurnerXP Pro). Also: be sure to follow the accompanying instructions to the letter to get the game running properly on Windows XP or Vista.Download complete ISO image of the Windows game [main game] from EA.com (581MB): Free download

'F.E.A.R. Combat'
Take a first-person shooter, spice it up with a generous helping of survival horror elements, and you get F.E.A.R. (short for First Encounter Assault Recon), a 2005 release that garnered a whopping 9.1 from GameSpot. While the single-player campaign was generally enjoyed--if you enjoy being perpetually scared--the lion's share of the game's replay factor came from the stellar multiplayer mode. To promote the expansion pack--F.E.A.R. Extraction Point--Vivendi began offering a standalone version of the multiplayer mode as a free download. Redubbed F.E.A.R. Combat, it includes the whole multiplayer shebang: all the latest updates, 10 game modes, 19 maps, 12 weapons, anticheating software support, and the ability to download user-created content. F.E.A.R. Combat players can compete against each other and among owners of the full retail version, who undoubtedly will welcome nonpaying newbies (read: targets) with open arms.F.E.A.R.

'Grand Theft Auto' & 'Grand Theft Auto 2'
When the original Grand Theft Auto first hit the PC in 1998, the game was already courting controversy: its brazenly amoral gameplay actually rewarded the player for wanton criminal conduct. But competing titles such as Carmageddon--a Death Race 2000-inspired car combat racer that awarded points for mowing down as many pedestrians as possible--were an easier lightning rod for critics. By comparison, GTA's cartoonish, top-down 2D point-of-view seemed like little more than an amped-up Hot Wheels. Grand Theft Auto 2 refined the gameplay of the original title the following year, but Rockstar wouldn't perfect the formula until taking the mayhem 3D in 2001 with Grand Theft Auto III. For gamers familiar with only such 21st-century GTA landscapes of Vice City and San Andreas, the company has subsequently released the original two games--reoptimized for current PCs and Windows versions--as free downloads. The price of a taste of GTA history? You'll need to sign up for Rockstar's mailing list before you can pull down the files. Grand Theft Auto: Read review

'Hidden & Dangerous Deluxe'
When Hidden & Dangerous was released in 1999, setting games against the background of World War II was still a fairly fresh phenomenon; Medal of Honor: Allied Assault was still three years away. Czech developer Illusion Softworks crafted an impressive squad-oriented third-person game that focused more on tension-filled stealth missions behind enemy lines than run-and-gun action. Despite a laundry list of bugs, glitches, and stability problems, the game built a core of enthusiastic fans. To promote the release of the 2003 sequel, publisher Gathering of Developers released the original game as a freebie. The Deluxe version incorporates a host of bug fixes, though some system configurations, apparently, still have issues, and the Devil's Bridge expansion pack into one convenient download.

'The Marathon Trilogy'
Marathon was one of the initial wave of first-person shooters that hit in the mid-1990s. Often dismissed--unfairly--as Doom for Mac (Marathon 2 was the only game in the series to be published for the PC), the game's rich storyline and then-impressive graphics cultivated a loyal following that persists to this day. Marathon's developer, Bungie, was scooped up by Microsoft just so the software giant could secure the rights to a promising title called Halo--which Bungie was developing, ironically, for the Mac. Halo, of course, went on to become the raison d'tre for owning Microsoft's Xbox console. Is Halo really Marathon 4?

'Return to Castle Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory'
Enemy Territory began life as an expansion pack for 2001's Return to Castle Wolfenstein. Activision ended up canceling the game, but it released the multiplayer component of the game as a free stand-alone download in 2003. The result was a game that--years later--holds its own against such heavyweights as America's Army (above), Call of Duty, and Unreal Tournament 2004 as one of the most played online multiplayer shooters out there. The game's legacy lives on in the form of Enemy Territory: Quake Wars, a multiplayer spin-off of Quake 4.Download complete Windows game (264MB) from CNET Download.com: Free download

'Starsiege: Tribes'
Sierra's Starsiege series made a successful transition from strategy to action with 1998's Starsiege: Tribes. Released a year before Quake 3 Arena and Unreal Tournament, Tribes' online multiplayer-only gameplay was a revolutionary step forward in the way games were marketed. The inclusion of player-controlled vehicles--years before Halo, Battlefield 1942, and Unreal Tournament 2004--was similarly visionary. While Tribes never achieved the same level of success as some later games, its legacy is still fondly remembered; GameSpot named it to the site's running list of the greatest games of all time in April 2005. The original game was given away free as a promotion for the 2004 release of the updated sequel Tribes Vengeance. It's not as popular as America's Army and Enemy Territory--the once vibrant online community has largely moved on--but those with older PCs will appreciate the easygoing system requirements.

'Ur-Quan Masters'
Released in 1992, Star Control II took the arcade-style action of its predecessor and deepened the gameplay with a rich storyline and role-playing features. While many a lesser game would've lost its focus, Star Control II's disparate parts gelled together perfectly into a sophisticated, unique sci-fi title that combined the best elements of action and strategy. The free version of needed to lose the "Star Control" name due to copyright issues, but it's otherwise the same breakthrough classic that, like Starsiege: Tribes, is enshrined in GameSpot's hall of fame. An active community of enthusiastic developers has updated the game for modern PCs, complete with a user-friendly Windows installer (linked below) that automatically downloads and installs the game components, including updated music files.Download complete Windows game (140MB) from CNET Download.com: Free downloadAlternatives worth paying for:

'Wild Metal Country'
If you've never heard of Rockstar's 1999 tank shooter, you're not alone. It lacks the notoriety of the company's Grand Theft Auto series, and the game's reviews were hardly stellar, with GameSpot awarding the Dreamcast version a mere 3.7. But when you're not paying for it--Rockstar made it gratis in 2004--it's a bit easier to see the Wild Metal glass as half full. Unlike many of the multiplayer-only and graphically intensive games presented here, Wild Metal offers a decent single-player experience, and its Windows 98-era system requirements mean it'll run well on many current laptops and business desktops. But the lack of a hot coffee mod means those looking for some tank-on-tank action will have to point their turrets elsewhere. Like Rockstar's GTA freebies, you'll need to register for their newsletter before downloading this one.Wild Metal Country: Read review (Dreamcast version)

We used a bank that was merged into First Niagara but when FN took over, the checking account features were much worse by comparison. So we kept the minimum while keeping a safe deposit box there, and moved our heavy-duty banking to a credit union. FN is implementing a completely revamped suite of checking account options and they are much more competitive in many (but not all) ways. For example, their new top-tier account PinnaclePlus requires $5K minimum checking balance to avoid a $25 monthly fee (minimal interest paid on checking). IMHO these are the highlights.
-Free wire transfers
-Unlimited rebates of ATM fees from other banks (not necessarily non-US banks, though)
-Free checks, cashier's checks and stop payments
-Free overdraft transfers from savings
-Free "Annual Financial Check-up" (I could not find any details)Not a blockbuster, but just sharing in case someone with limited B&M bank options had evaluated FN before and found their checking options lacking (like their previous "best" checking account that required $25K on deposit to avoid fees, and only reimbursed 3 non-FN ATM fees per month!)And for people who use bank wires frequently, even if you don't achieve the $5K minimim balance, it's like having unlimited wires for $25/month.

The news media is making it out to be the end of the world. What are the real aspects of this for the average person. AAA to AA+? can't be such a big deal. They say interest rates for credit cards and mortgages will go up. So what? People shouldn't have so much credit card debt anyway and home sales are down even with the record low rates. Will the interest rates that banks pay depositors start to go up? That would be a positive thing.
These don't seem to get much interest, but what the heck maybe someone is looking for one. You can get it with or without the HDD, but the drive ends up being just $15 extra so is worth getting even if it's just to resell.The enclosure is the Mediasonic HFR2-SU3S2 PRORAID 4-bay enclosure for $199. It has both USB 3.0 and eSATA interfaces. It'll do RAID 0/1/3/5/10. I researched these a couple months ago so here's some more info beyond the specs:
More reviews from Amazon
It uses an AC adapter brick for power. So the only fan is the one used to keep the drives cool. No whiny 40mm PSU fan, no PSU heat rising up to the HDDs.
The power plugs into the side of the unit, not the back. Might be an issue if you plan to place it flush against a wall or something.
Be forewarned that some people have complained about USB 3.0 support being spotty. USB 3.0 is still pretty new, and there seem to be some implementations which don't like to play with each other. Usual solution is to try a different USB 3.0 controller, though in this case you could try eSATA.
It will not do JBOD like other RAID enclosures - I asked on Mediasonic's forums. According to them, there's no way to see all four drives independently - your computer will only see the one virtual drive created by the RAID controller.
The JBOD-only version is the HF2-SU3S2. $140 at Newegg and Amazon. Requires a port multiplier to work over eSATA. The RAID version will work over regular eSATA.

LAS VEGAS--Researchers at the Black Hat security conference today revealed two ways the Square payment system, which turns any iPhone, iPad or Android into a point-of-sale credit card processor, could be used for fraud.
Adam Laurie and Zac Franken, directors of Aperture Labs, discovered that they can transfer money from a stolen card into their bank account associated with Square without having to swipe a card through the Square dongle card reader. To do this, they used code written by Laurie that lets them feed magnetic stripe data from a stolen card into a microphone and convert it into a sound file. They then played that file--a series of beeps--into the Square device via a stereo cable which transmitted the data directly into the Square app.
That effectively turns a merchant system that is designed to only accept physical cards for transactions into one that can be used for electronic-only transactions, enabling fraudsters to easily use stolen card data for transactions without having to create cloned cards and go to a store to make purchases or know PINs.
Laurie said he skimmed a credit card himself using a normal skimming device for his test, but he could have acquired stolen credit card data that is available in bulk on underground marketplaces on the Internet. The pair demonstrated the attack in a news conference.
The researchers said they also discovered that the Square dongle can be used to skim data from cards in order to make cloned cards because the devices do not use encryption or authentication. The magnetic stripe card data can be grabbed by plugging the Square dongle into the audio input in the mobile device and Laurie's special code converts the audio into the human readable credit card data.
"The dongle is a skimmer. It turns any iPhone into a skimmer," Laurie said. To clone a card, "now you need less technical hardware to do it and no technical skills at all."Zac Franken, left, and Adam Laurie, both directors at Aperture Labs, discovered that the Square system for processing credit cards on mobile devices was easy to hack.
(Credit: Seth Rosenblatt/CNET)
There are plenty of skimming machines available for purchase online, but they are specialized. "This lowers the bar" by giving anyone with a mobile device and a Square dongle the ability to skim a card while pretending to perform a legitimate transaction, Laurie said, adding that "This really takes the hassle out of" skimming.
In their demonstration, which they repeated during a session, the researchers swiped a Visa gift card through a Square dongle to put money into their account, illustrating the ability to use the Square system to effectively cash out gift cards.
"You don't need a card or a dongle to do this hack," Laurie said.
Franken said he had heard that Square was preparing to issue new dongles that encrypt the data. Square representatives did not immediately respond to an e-mail seeking comment. A Square employee who was in the session said he was not authorized to comment.
Laurie said the researchers figured these fraud methods out in February and report them to representatives at Square. But Square didn't see it as a significant threat, saying that there are easier ways to commit credit card fraud and that they can detect fraud through traffic analysis and other methods, Laurie said.
However, the threat is significantly mitigated by federal anti-fraud bank regulations in the U.S. that make it difficult for fraudsters to set up dummy accounts. Laurie said the way around that would be to pay people to use their own accounts to link to the Square system and then transfer the money to the fraudsters, much like money mules are used to get stolen funds to overseas criminals in "work from home" and other online fraud schemes.
The researchers, who are based in the United Kingdom, needed to have a U.S. bank account to test the system.

Hey everyone, this is my first post. I finally get to contribute back after all the good deals I've been able to take advantage of thanks to Fatwallet I was shopping for some grass shears, and at WalMart.com I found the Sun Joe - Hedger Joe Cordless Grass Shear/Shrubber Model# HJ602C) on Rollback for $21.22 with free Site to Store shipping. It's was originally $39.99, and even with shipping (depending on where you live of course) it was cheaper than the going price of $29.99 No tax + Free shipping at Amazon.com. I searched fatwallet, and it turns out someone posted a deal on this same item in july, which was going for $21 at Amazon.com. As the op from july stated, it has good reviews, and it may have a small blade compared to others but some people like me will find it useful, and a bargain at this price.Here's the item description as displayed at WalMart.com:The Hedger Joe Grass Shear/Shrubber is two effective tools in one. It features a shrubber blade and a grass shear blade, along with an ergonomic carry handle.
5'' grass shrubber blade
3.31'' grass shear blade
Ergonomic carry handle
Instant start
Safety switch
Battery charging indicator light
Model# HJ602C

Just an FYI for those FWFers in graduate school or considering graduate school, the debt ceiling "deal" included a provision that will effectively* shut down subsidized Stafford graduate student loans as of July 2012. I think the general (and correct) FWF consensus is that its only a good idea to go to graduate school where you get paid to do so via teaching and research assistant positions.However, there has always been a few exceptions to that - mainly top JD/MD/MBA programs where the very high cost was matched with an almost certain high salary. This is going to add a notable level of expense for many in that position, as well as end the "deal" of using subsidized Stafford loan money much like 0% AOR money. *The bill excludes state mandated teacher certification programs, but I think its agreed most people would be crazy to take out loans for that.
So I have a Marriott Rewards and an AMEX Gold card approaching their annual fee date, and I'd obviously like to convert them. I see lots of individual threads on people converting certain cards, but never found a consolidated list. Could experienced FWFs chime in with which cards they think are the best to convert to for each card provider (i.e. which cards have no annual fee, good Cash Back, and rarely have sign up bonuses). If anyone has experience successfully converting a card into one of these types, that would be even better.I think this would also really help when signing up for cards. There'd be no need to get a poor Chase Sapphire signup bonus if you hear from others that have successfully converted their sapphire premier into a sapphire before year's end, etc. etc. Thanks in advance for any help.

I am stuck on Band Aids becasue pork is stuck on me.Very few people know of the amazing healing powers that bacon possesses. Bacon is so powerful, in fact, that they now make bacon bandaids to help quickly heal your open cuts and wounds. These novelty bacon bandaids are fully functional bandages and are a cool break from the traditional beige bandaids.Link
So I am looking for insight from anyone in a services career field.
