There are a lot of people follow the "holding money is generally not a good idea" life plan and then become unable or unwilling to work. Sure would be nice to have some savings at that point.

The weather is horrible, IMO. You only have two seasons, and it hardly ever rains.

It matters to me how they got there. There's a limit to what I'm prepared to do to rescue someone from his own bad decisions. Besides, this was a point on language. If you make a lot of money but blow it all on expensive cars an

That's why top colleges give generous scholarships to exceptional poor kids.

But private schools have to compete with each other. If this was really about increased demand from students who would have otherwise gone to public schools, what we'd see is an increase in the number of private schools, not an increa

Meh. The restaurant business is always in constant churn, and it's almost as trendy as fashion. This week "casual dining" is out; next week it'll be back in and the analysts will have some plausible-sounding explanatio

Your #3 isn't completely accurate. Nuclear attack submarines have a primary tactical role in that they're expected to destroy enemy ships and submarines with torpedoes. In peacetime they spend a lot of time shadowing vessels bel

The math on this really depends on the assumptions you make. $5 in gas would carry my car an extra 40 miles, which isn't really my idea of dropping something off on the way home. As far as insurance goes, it would be easy for Walmart

That's only public universities, though. How does that explain the corresponding increases at private schools?

For a few years now I've been thinking as a high school graduate you'd learn far more by taking your college money and starting a business or two. Assuming, of course, you didn't want to do something highly technical like me

College in the US is used by employers as a proxy for intelligence, something that's an outgrowth of laws and court rulings that date back to the '70s. So if you want to put yourself on the path to the C-Suite in a Fortune 500 com

>Some dealerships like GM, used to also have a bank. GMAC. Ford w/ FMC. If you went by profitability, for many years it was probably more correct to describe GM and Ford as banks that had a side business in automobile manufacture.

Getting even more money out of the consumer doesn't need to be a shady thing. Lots of people simply don't have the money to buy a car outright. Or enough to purchase on traditional loan terms.

It's difficult to disentangle high priced housing from the availability of high paying jobs. Some of those people are in NYC or SF because that's the only way they're going to make $300k. I would hate every minute of living
