If I want to buy something online, I first search at Walmart.com and select the retailer as Walmart (I never buy from their 3rd party...that's what ebay is for...) Walmart will actively price match Amazon. I know it won't be count

A middle man doesn't necessarily increase prices. If you want to letter a package from the east coast to the west coast, do you forgo the USPS stamp simply on principal they are the middle man and thus increases your cost? I can think

I didn't hear about Meta rescinding so I googled a bit. A few sources came up and it looks like it was a pretty specific scenario(s) about contractors, visa etc...but regular straight up offers are still good. This summarizes a few oth

"...We've got to go to non-negotiated price..." Who's to say Ford can't "markup" either? To me that's exactly what it is...non-negotiated. If the dealer can sell a Mach-E for $5k above MSRP, Ford is l

Right - which is why I put a 2% take home instead of a 3% which the seller would pay per agent. "As you become a more established real estate agent, you can often negotiate a split that leans more in your favor. For example, you may re

I hate it when people who have no context of the economy throws in the stock price as a point of data. Author is clearly bias. What tech stock has not plummeted in the last few months? If you want to include financial data maybe consider th

I'm a little surprised it cites carpenters make more than real estate agents. I'd assume a full time agent (not your neighbor who just happened to have a license) could make more than 50k a year. If I recall, average home price no

Thought the article points out Berkshire Hathaway owns 5.6% of Apple, Apple represents almost a 50% of Berkshire's holdings. If you ask me, quite a concentrated portfolio risk for a fund that is perceived to be stable. But anyways - in

Well, did you ever try calling? Because their call center is open late, weekends and resolved any issue I had with my advisor (i.e. an appraisal being late, clarification on cash out refinance as it was my first time doing it) American Expr

I had no issues using them last year. As a matter of fact there was a whole subindustry of churning your mortgage as interest rates kept falling. Better.com allowed for that because of how seamless everything is and they would price match a

Switching Twitter to timeline mode rather than their poor excuse of an algorithm helps. Learned that from HN....but I have a browser plug-in that also removes all their recommended and "Joe also owed this tweet" junk.

TicWatch Pro (I do not own it) has a 2nd layer screen that uses very little power and can last many days. However the watch is too big for my taste, but always on is a must. I purchased a refurbished Samsung Galaxy 42mm. I can last well in

If you go to the Dollar Tree - they have tiny composition notebooks that fit well in your back pocket. A pack for $1 - or I guess, $1.25 now that they raised the prices. I carry a pen that fits on my keychain. If I'm out and about I ca

I would expect some sensor to detect some kind of impact/resistance and just stop. I mean if my robot vacuum can do it, I'd think a machine capable of killing someone would too. But maybe that's a feature that'll come wi

That is a very handy and unfortunately hidden feature. I just enabled it, and even knowing the feature exist I had to Google to know I need to tap that funky icon on mobile. Unfortunately for Twitter I will keep using the browser plug-in wh
