That "Quality of Life" index is lame as hell. Maybe I'm biased as a New Yorker, but I'd live here over Raleigh any day. The access & immersion in culture, food, entertainment, diversity etc. is the best part of livin

Not true. Jcrew Factory does $5 flat rate, or more frequently offers it free. A prepaid label is also provided with the shipment. And unlike Amazon, these clothes are not add-on or pantry-like items (i.e. need to spend some crazy amount of

I'm fairly certain stopping the tides would be devastating to the environment since several ecosystems (tidal plains, marshes, riparian zones, etc.) depend upon them.

Do you have any good guides for beginner investing? I save most of my salary but have no idea where to get started with investing.
