how long ago were the mortgages and how old were you when you tried to obtain them? i think the climate is different now. i have a friend who is reasonably fresh out of school and tried to buy a place, but got turned down for mortgages due

this is how i typically recommend people to prioritize their money: (1) pay your bills (2) get a small emergency fund together (enough to pay for a small emergency, car breakdown, 1 month's living expenses, etc) (3) pay down high interest

ah, that makes more sense. though, its tough to judge them on it yet. they decided to try out a different type of product to see how it works. if it doesn't work out for them, i'm sure they'll tone it down in the future.

i agree, but based on all the stuff i've read about the situation, they do all of this stuff because it works . it feels more internet marketer-ish because internet marketer-ish stuff is the stuff that converts better, and appsumo is a bu

i think this is a false dichotomy. there's a lot of shades of gray between "employed = not using linkedin" and "unemployed/contracter = using linkedin" i mean, i'm gainfully employed, but i maintain a portfolio type of website.

pricing is my major concern and the only reason i'm not throwing sites onto dotcloud. i don't want to migrate stuff to dotcloud and then have to migrate it back again if pricing doesn't work for me.

typically, higher salary = higher stress, more hours, difficult problems. if you want a lower stress job, go find one that pays less. either they'll expect less of you, or the problems will be easier for you to solve, so you'll not be str
