Is your child a tax credit to you?

Agree with your limits, but you have to address SS and Medicare at the same time.  Lowering the birthrate makes those programs even more in the red.  I am definitly for scraping most of SS and giving people back their tax % for savings or at least letting me have more control over it (private accounts were a great idea...more

Is your child a tax credit to you?

Agree on some limits to it and not supporting people who arn't willing to work.  But the Gov does need to encourage higher birthrate becuase those kids are going to be paying for your SS when you are old and broke.  Unless there is a decent birth rate the whole SS and Medicare system crashes and burns (which is happeni...more

Very obviously a paid product review!!  no mention of real differentiating factors and bogus throwoff comparsion on screen resolution within apple products only - does not mention that competitors 7" tablets have much higher PPI on their screens at ~50% less cost.  How about you actually mention competting products lik...more

Should college students pay their own co...

My parents told me they could not pay for any of my college when i started highschool and it was a great motivator to work hard for scholarships (which i got very good ones).  I had to take out some loans, but was able to pay them all off within 1 year of graduating.  My brother went a slightly different route with the...more

Can the luxury market survive as consume...

My bet is the Wegmens is goign to profit from whole foods decline as well.  At least by us Wegmens offers very good prices on excellent very good quality food.  Plus they do offer much of the organic & higher end food as well.  We usually do a combination of Walmart and Wegmens for most of our food as we find that is t...more

Watch for sneaky new bank charges

Paid nothing for their services?  That is exactly what the banks want you to believe.  How about giving my money to a bank so that they can use it to loan out to others for free.  That is the cost that anyone with a traditional checking account pays.  So it is not free, they are just trying to rake in more profits to s...more

Liz Pulliam Weston - Underwater mortgage...

I liked a good number of the points Liz makes.  However i find one aspect clearly missing.  Not that i blame her as almost no one is willing to tackle this issue.    The issue is that you can't talk about morality without a basis for morality.  If morality is a "statistic" based on what the majority of people believ...more

AMC theaters ban outside snacks

Theaters are way way way overpriced because Hollywood i way way overpriced.  I wouldn't mind seeing the breakdown on my ticket of at least what portion goes to Hollywood /procuders/etc. . vs what stays at the theater.  The fact remains though that i can buy a DVD/Blue-ray disk that i can watch over and over again for j...more

Is there a generation gap in saving?

I don't buy the tellers observations.  I agree they might be accurate for people who actually use a physical bank, which in my experience is heavily skewed towards an older crowd (who grew up with that).  Most of the younger generation is very comfortable doing all of our banking online.  I filled out my entire mortgag...more
