Nice to see a list of the best...thought I would add some comments about my vehicles. I have an '09 Porsche Boxster. The sound system is horrible. I also have a 2011 Subaru Forester. The sound system is horrible X 5. I hung on to my 2003 Nissan Pathfinder for my kids to abuse. The sound system, (Bose) rocks! Best car a...more

Fathis...you're right, I did not understand the 4% rule. Thanks, your comment prompted me to do some research. I found an article (MSN blocked posting the link) that speaks to abandoning the 4% rule because it's flawed, but goes on to state that we don't have anything better! Personally, I'd like to see some consistenc...more

Another one of those silly, "doom and gloom" recyled articles with a lot of flawed logic. I couldn't get past the first part "Guesswork, not Legwork". Anybody do the math? So, according to the survey, the average number required for retirement is $60,000 a year. That's not unreasonable for many retirees. The author cla...more

Many are complaining that their favorite sports car isn't included - I'm surprised that the Porsche Boxster isn't in there. It's less than the caddy (one hot car) and with limited options, a little less than the vet. It really is "on the fringe" as far as affordability goes. I bought one and I love it, but if you're lo...more

Greg in San Jose - my apologies...I was a bit condescending. When I start reading many of these posts, I get a little testy. One person wrote something about "more tax breaks for the wealthy'. As you know, you don't have to be wealthy to take advantage of any tax credits. These are the things that help the average taxp...more

Ed...I thought that the only requirement for the energy credit was that the appliance had to have the energy star certification label? Is that right?

Cbix...I had to bite! As far as the first items is concerned, the whole reason we set up trusts is for the preservation of assets and to keep financial transactions at arms length. (The fairness doctrine? C'mon!!) On to number 2...the 14 day rental rule is nothing new...been around since I was in college, over 30 years...more

Greg in San Jose...I'm a CPA...I had a tax law professor in College once tell our class that if we didn't get audited every now and then, we probably weren't taking enough deductions! A person should never fear the IRS when they prepare their tax return properly. Every bit of information in this article was legit!  I d...more

I live in Syracuse, and Bret Michael's show was simply not promoted. I saw a sign outside of a pizza place a week or so ago stating "Bret Michael's Tickets on sale here" and I thought "Bret Michaels is coming to Syracuse? Nothing on the radio, nothing in the newspaper. If I was Bret Michaels, I would be pretty upset to...more
