To pull together for one of their own, what a great community to live in. Kudos to the young gentleman that was her date.

To mortgage and debt free,   you,re partially right,  eliminate all taxes but don't tax wages, have a consumption tax instead.  That will encourge companies & jobs and discourage wasting.  Let the little guy (or even the big guy) keep their hard earned money but make them more aware(taxes) of what & how they spend

That's the way it shld be.   That would be taxing consumption and encourage earning.   This way the guy who buys a basic car to get him and his family around would pay less tax then the guy who buys the 6 figure car to show off.  Taxing consumption and not wages is actually a far better way to help the environment then...more

You are right, but its built into the system already and you're not very smart to not take it.   I do pay for it so why not get itt back, it is free to me.  It may have cost me $29-30 or even $50 in higher costs, but $750 back to me is quite a profit.   Do you actually think that any company, not just banks, actually l...more

OPinion1, you would be a fool not to save 15%,especially if it was a lot of money.  You fall to these bozos who write these kinds of articles.  Consider this,  a while ago they wrote articales about how you shld close inactive cards, it looks like you have an opp to spend to much, this hurts your credit;  later new art...more

Wait, 2 of the people are retired(?) for 3 years, 1 36 and the other 47,  at that age thats just an extended vacation.  Write about these 2 when they've been retired for 12-15 yrs.   See if they can still keep that modest living, with inflation and socialistic spending(which will mean big tax increases to fund the nann...more

The Saudis don't have a lock on stupidity,  there are  no bounds to stupity, just check out tarpapers comments

Ya gotta love it when people say you don't need credit, 0 balance = 0 payments.  You live down south, your A/C goes out or up north and the furnace goes out.  the roof leaks & needs repair or the car goes kaput.  what, wait until you save enough money to fix these.  Savings only goes so far, especially if your relative...more
