Sounds very logical, but marriage usually carries a great deal of emotional weight with at least one of the people in the relationship. There are also some legal advantages in case the relationship ends with regards to income, assets, and c

I'm picturing the conversation like this: You: "The credit card fee is 1.75% until 2016, but Amazon can use your data against you." Coffee shop owner: "I can add .75% to my bottom line for a year?" You: "Yes, b
