Would you rather pay the bank? Or keep the money?
Comments (6)The banks know how to manage money! Most of us don't. And TV, whose advertisers want us to spend more than we have, doesn't help. The schools, who teach very little about money management and other consumer issues, don't help much, either. It's an uphill grind to convince folks that, as no one cares about their welfare in the use of their money as they, it's to their advantage to learn how to use it effectively. I was going to say, " ... no one cares about their money ... " - but others *do* care about their money - they want to shift as much of it as possible from the pocket of the present holder into their own pocket. If the current holder gets good value, and other financial needs, present and future, are provided for, then it may be beneficial to both parties to the exchange. Just one proviso - many people have been making quite substantialy inadequate provision for funding their retirement. Filet mignon now may be nice - but if it results in being forced to eat mainly turnips in retirement - not so hot a deal. Or foregoing necessary medicine ... or food, etc. As many, especially women, now are forced to do. Have a happy, healthy, peaceful, recreating and prosperous weekend, everyone. When you're retired - every day is weekend. And I've told a lot of people over the years - if you give me 10% of your income - I'll have you retire early. Not actually " ... give me ... ", for I've been dedicated to helping people learn how to manage their own money more effectively, and helping them do it, so far as they wish. ole joyful...See MoreWould you rather have no computer or no cellphone
Comments (47)"I'm almost 100% certain that the "911" works, here." I checked and double checked and yes, deactivated phones must provide 911 service in Canada but.............from what I have read some of the remote areas in Canada that are sparsely populated do not have 911 service at all. Make sure you are covered by checking with your local government to know if 911 service is in your area. Having a deactivated phone handy for 911 emergencies is both frugal and smart. Make sure the battery stays charged or it will not work. And speaking of batteries..........make sure your flashlight batteries stay charged for emergencies. Everyone should have a flashlight in their auto and one on each floor of their home. I have kicked myself for not doing this, finding dead flashlights or flashlights with leaking batteries during a power outage. -------------------- *It is recommended that parents who give old deactivated phones to their children to play with take out the batteries so that they do not accidentally call the 911 call centers - especially if the kids have been taught that number to dial. ----------------------------- *Everyone: Please consider donating your old deactivated phone to charity. They are given to elderly persons and battered women who cannot afford phone service so they can at least have 911 access for emergencies. http://www.recyclingforcharities.com/blog/?p=35...See MoreName 3 Things You Would Rather Be Doing
Comments (18)I just had lunch out. Someone will clean my house on Monday. So..... I'd love to be relaxing at the beach. I'd love to be relaxing by a fire in the mountains. I'd rather be enjoying traveling in Italy, or Germany or Switzerland. Does that count as one since I said "or"?-)...See Moreif you were a teenage girl which would you rather?
Comments (15)Odd man out here...From my experience... I'd prefer the cup. Granted I'm not sure of your instructions... but if I recall correctly, with the sticks there are some precautions...like don't let the urine splash up on the stick past a certain point, don't over saturate, but pee directly on for 5 seconds (what if your stream changes?),etc... You also may have to worry about the stick hitting toilet water without even knowing it and maybe deluting the results. And, I wouldn't doubt sometimes enough urine may not even hit the stick. I would just think the cup may be more precise and accurate. If there are no precautions, then the stick may be easier, but if there are and you need accuracy, I would suggest the cup....See More
