My biggest financial goal is to pay off my student loans. I don't have as much as many other people my age (just under $20,000) but it's hanging over me and I want it gone!
Oh my, my, my...biggest financial goal.
Well, at this point, my goal is to find a job that will pay well enough to enable me to hold down two other jobs that don't pay at all. There are two incredible and fascinating opportunities for me to work on...that don't (yet) pay a dime, but I need to keep a roof over my head and food in my belly in the meantime, so my goal now is finding at least ONE paying gig that will make me able to afford to go to work doing some things I really love.
You put macadamias, the overall best nut with the best fat-profile, on the least-healthy list? Good job.. If the amount of calories per ounce determines how healthy something is, we should´nt eat nuts at all.
I believe you can now purchase Zovirax on line for a lot less. I bought mine which is sold over the counter at the drug store in Germany for $7 each.
Needless to stay I bought their remaining boxes because it's very expensive
In the US.
As a very recent college graduate I think that this isn't very good advice to give parents. The number one reason for parents not to save money can be shot down by the fact that the whole point of them saving is so their child won't NEED financial aid. That's the first thing that stuck out to me. It's like, if you save enough for your kids to go to college you don't need to worry about financial aid, you don't need to worry about financial aid you shouldn't worry about how much you save. Not to mention that financial aid for the major of use college students and recent college grads is just another word for loans and if you do that math, taking out loans will definitely cost you more in the long run, in the way of money via interest, and freedom via monthly payments.
Also, I myself, worked three out of the four years- at one point having two jobs and maintaining a full load, which I don't recommend- and I made no where near enough to pay my own way. I was just doing good to handle additional expenses (books, gas, groceries, etc). My parents wished with all their hearts that they could have helped me out and even though they wanted to, they had financial troubles of their own. Even if they could have contributed to half to my college education I would be so much better off than I am now. I would have still taken up a job and if I wasn't so worried about my financial situation all the time I would have taken up more extracurricular activities. I actually had to give up rejoining a club that I absolutely LOVED, cause I had to take up a second job to pay toward my last semester in college.
I made a lot of mistakes as far as my decides about college, but I also wish that my parents were there financial to support me even just a little. There is no harm in saving money and it doesn't necessarily have to go in a college fund. I say that parents, save for your kids education like you save for everything else and if junior doesn't go to college then -hey!- more for that retirement plan. Saving money when you didn't need to is so so so much better than not saving when you wish you had.
This has been a dry spring/summer here in Michigan. I'm built on a sandpit with very little topsoil to hold moisture or feed the lawn. So I am dry even in a rainy year. I've been watering like crazy this year to little avail. Also fertilized spring and summer. Used iron for quick greening. Nothing. Tried this, and one week later(and one good soaking rain later), I have the only green lawn in the area, and many others have in-ground sprinklinng systems and use the commercial companies with truck sprayers. They're bummin'- I'm NOT. I'd say this works, but I've also been watering and previously did use normal purchased products already. But this stuff did it as far as I'm concerned. I put it on using 5oz setting. If you killed your lawn with it, I'd guess you haven't watered after, or you put it on way too rich, or both.
Might also want to take a look at True Cost of Health Care -- a website a doctor in Northern California runs about health care costs. His part on prescription drug costs is pretty interesting. The site looks really old school, but there's good info.
You know, I always find articles like this one to be extremely tacky and would never even consider making the things suggested, let alone gifting them. BUT. This article was seriously amazing! These are ideas that are actually COOL, CUTE and FUN. I don't know if I would gift these things, but they're cool to make for yourself. Some of them I might gift for people, but only as a "just because" gift; I don't think I could seriously gift any of these things at a wedding or home-welcoming party but I would give them to somebody just because I felt like gifting.
It seemed to me that there was not clear delineation among types of plans when I was reviewing them, so I was glad to hear from Kim Lankford that she had a similar observation. It seems that as certain features become more accepted and expected, insurance carriers tend to add those no matter what kind of plan. But whatever you have, it does pay to see what it covers rather than make broad assumptions about how a plan will work.
You make an excellent point- the lines are often blurred. In many cases, your normal plan is not going to cover everything you may want or need it to cover. You need to do your research and find out exactly what your plan covers.
This is one of the most hilarious things I have read in a long time! Thank you for taking the time to write this piece.
I have been having a heckuva time trying to figure out how to divide what to keep and what to get rid of for some time now. More than a couple of years actually. When I read your piece I thought the advice was good but when I got to the part about the man with the plastic bag, I completely lost it--at work, in my cubicle! I don't think I've snorted like that since I was about eleven. I had to go outside my building for some air... and because my co-workers were looking at me like I was ready for the looney farm. "Are you crying or laughing," they asked. A little of both. It was a huge release and a welcome change from the insanity of holding on.
We have a family movie night every other Sunday and the kids love it we take turns picking the movie out of the redbox and we make different snacks each time, the latest was homemade poppycock. It is so much cheaper then going to out and you can pause the movie if one of the kids needs to run to the bathroom. :)
POM put out many spin-worthy articles SOUNDING as though the FTC lost the lawsuit, but in fact, POM is no longer allowed to make the health claims that they had previously been making.

Short term:payoff debt
Long term:be able to retire at 57
I liked your page and commented. :)
Also, I liked you on facebook. Fingers crossed!

I'm rebuilding my emergency fund after an unexpected move and a seriously sprained ankle, whose treatment straddled two insurance deductible years.

My goal is to make enough money to start my own company. I want to break the shackles of corporate life.
My biggest financial goal is to help my girlfriend pay down her massive student loans after we get married.

i give a lot away and sell some on craigslist
• Baking soda: a natural scourer and odour remover
• Lemon/lemon juice: a natural degreaser and lightener for stains
• Vinegar: another good degreaser
This is my recipe of removing stains from carpet, window cleaning and household products.

Thanks for the comment, John! I love pita but every time I try to stuff them, they tear! Maybe I should be warming them up!

I agree -- as much as I like having some solid furniture that will last me for years, I miss the days of being able to fit everything into my Chevy!

No, they do not. And despite what their marketing minions are paid to come here and post, they actually lost their lawsuit.
