Anecdotal: Both my sister and my husband are on the spectrum. Both studied some form of math, physics, computer science. Not being on the spectrum myself, I have observed that I've learned/taught myself STEM subjects differently t

I work for a religious organization. My boss likes to take the 4 members of his group out to lunch for our birthdays. Three out of four of the group are female. Due to the environment, he takes the 3 women out as a group on each birthday (w

It would be ideal, but the government has no money, and cities are going bankrupt. I would think some sort of tax incentives (or other something) for on job training, make hiring cheaper/easier or moving offshore jobs to local would be

Who will create these jobs, part of the issue is that no one is willing to pay the amount it takes to create the jobs (pay rate, training, taxes, insurance). Unless absolutely necessary, companies don't want to hire extra people just t

When I go out to eat with my Mom we usually have books/ereaders with us, and if we don't have anything to talk about, we read. We enjoy eachothers company without talking. There has been a few times when one of my sisters would jo

Like the article says, there are other factors. There are those that are genetically predisposed to addictions (alcoholism, drugs), but that doesn't mean all of them are addicts.

Great book on the topic. Talks a lot about how they do function in society (great business man-jerk of a boss, Provides well for family-controlling husband/father, etc). The book 'Sociopath Next Door' also goes further on how

While I agree that a lot of it is cultural based, I do agree that there is some biological basis also. As a woman also, I can see myself in the points the author makes. While I had good grades (was in high school math club) I avoided risks

While I raised my younger siblings and was often referred to as more 'grown up' than my peers, I still have that 'imposter' feeling described above. Married, good job, have adult worries about kids, house, job. But my h

This will open up the jobs to teenagers- those not eligible by age to receive the basic income. They learn value of work, value of money and will be better off then many teenagers that can't get gas money/college savings since tho

Agreed, and since I'm paying my loans, can't save for a downpayment for a house (which is cheaper than renting).

Same here. ReadyForZero works for somethings, Mint works for others. Can't one of them buy the other out?

My issue with Mint is that it is an OK budgeting/finance tracking app, but not too good with debt payoff. If I could use the integration of accounts (with all the interest and what not) and be able to show when interest is added to a l

I have to agree. With my social anxiety I tend to be internally thinking 'Why are you talking to me, when can I get out of here'

Kids cause damage. They spill on carpets and draw on walls. My biggest reason for me personally, be able to take down walls, paint, dig holes, build XYZ without asking landlords permission.

There are a lot of places that after so many foreclosures, people have to rent and that increases demand/prices of renting. I know of many places where it is equivalent or cheaper to pay a mortgage than it is to rent. Right now the big

I think if this was implemented in the US, the best way to do it would be to include a mandatory financial education class every x time (one a year, every quarter, etc). Have it online or at local community (YMCA, library, etc). If I had a

I don't know. I see that currently due to the recession. My siblings and I have been supporting our parents in some form or fashion for years (and they aren't even close to retirement).

When analyzing corporate emails, men use those 'powerful' words (making them seem angry/violent as you mentioned) and women used 'emotional or caring' words. Blame it on gender roles or natural inclinations.

I don't think that having mostly men as coworkers is a deterrent. I had a conversation with a co-worker about general work life in our company. There are no work from home opportunities and no paid time off for maternity leave. Most o
