  • 7 Stocks Warren Buffett Loves — And You Should, Too   11 years 10 weeks ago

    Be careful with those names. Many of those businesses' fundamentals have deteriorated significantly since Buffet first invested in them. For most investors (if not all), investing in index funds has proven to be a better strategy than individual stock picking.

  • Ask the Readers: Do You Have a Vegetable Garden?   11 years 10 weeks ago

    We've grown a garden for a few years now. We grow fruits like strawberries, raspberries, and cantaloupe. We also grow Romaine lettuce, spinach, zucchini, potatoes, tomatoes, and basil. We freeze diced tomatoes and grated zucchini for use year round, and we dry the basil. The produce out of the garden tastes better as well as saving money.

  • 5 Simple Ways to Live Rent-Free   11 years 10 weeks ago

    I was a live-in nanny for a year with a wonderful family, which turned into a modified situation for 3 more years as I continued to live rent-free in exchange for cleaning, babysitting once a week, and pitching in with household chores. It was one of the best experiences of my life! I also did an internship for a year and my housing was provided for free. I saved a ton of money in my early twenties this way!

  • 8 Vile Craigslist Scams to Watch Out For   11 years 10 weeks ago

    Scam from Emily Ward, who also claimed to be deaf

    Thanks for getting back to me I will like to purchase your furniture but the only way i can pay you is through a Bank Certified Check which i will mail to you using UPS overnight delivery
    To make sure that everything goes smoothly i would wait for the it to clear before the pickup is done, I will be responsible for the pickup and it will be done by the movers and their payment will be included in the check i mail to you and this is all due to my disability (am deaf) and it makes it hard for me deal with this and it makes the transaction better and quicker.
    I know you were not expecting this and I would have loved to come for the viewing but i cant I really want it and am offering an extra $50 for you to delete the posting to show i want it as i am just settling into my new house i want good deals to furnish the apartment i stay in.
    if you are okay with this please send me extra pictures and get back to me with the following

    Your Full name
    Your Physical address (as UPS does not deliver to P.o.boxes)
    I await your response . thank you and stay blessed

  • 8 Vile Craigslist Scams to Watch Out For   11 years 10 weeks ago

    Yeah, that's a scam. I had something very similar happen to me. In my case, the guy said he was away on a business trip and wanted to mail payment for the item to me ASAP so that the "mover" could get it, could I send the information for that? Like with you, he listed that information he wanted, nice and neat. For mine, he specifically requested no PO Box (Warning Bell #1).

    Probably what makes the message feel off is that it's written like it's not from a native English speaker. The same was for mine - it sounded like it was either written by someone who had a vague grasp of English or like it was generated by a computer program. For my message, I also got the distinct sense that the "buyer" hadn't actually read/processed my e-mail to him. He opened it with, "Yes, the price and the description both look alright to me". In my previous correspondence with him (the only time I wrote to him), I had not mentioned the price at ALL. What I HAD mentioned was our meeting location (not at my place), the time, and if we could possibly meet in a week's time so I'd have a chance to get the item lined up (he wanted to meet ASAP, like, the very day he contacted me. Warning Bell #2). All off the things I had written about were not addressed by him at all, either as a confirmation that he got it or as answering the questions I had about the date of our meeting.

    Oh, and he also never contacted me again, after I asked him if we could possibly hold off on the deal until he was back from his "business trip". No, he didn't even give a, "Sorry, I can't do that. Bye!"
