Retired at 60.5 years. Enjoyed every minute of it so far. One simple fact everybody reading this needs to understand - If you don't plan EARLY and save for a financially secure retirement, you simple are not going to have one. Pay attention - because working till you drop or living on meager...

Remove the block and brick the window up. Windows are never a good idea in tub or shower locations. Condensation is almost always going to be a problem.

For those of you very near or in retirement, keep 3-5 years of money for expenses in liquid accounts - meaning keep it in savings, laddered CDs, and very short term bonds. When the stock market craters like this, and if it stays down for as long as 3-5 years, you should be able to live off of...

Interesting to read all the genius investors posting how they successfully timed the market. Hope they realize they don't need to work a job for a living since they appear to be able to accurately predict market direction and timing. Sorry but I call BS. Study after study has been published that...

I have enough in the 401k to fund a 30+ year retirement. So on weeks like this I don't look - why should I, no need to sell to fund current expenses. When the market is down it is time to buy not sell. Only the sheep get fleeced when the market goes into a correction. And there will always be...

I probably would never buy a car that I thought might need an extended warranty. We have always owned Honda, Toyota, Lexus, Mazda cars/suvs - not much need for extended warranty on super reliable cars. After 45 years of owning reliable, low maintenance, and low cost of ownership cars, I can...

Costco usually has excellent deals on relatively high quality car jacks. I personally prefer a 3.5 ton jack or above regardless of car weight. A 3.5 just feels a lot safer and more stable than something lighter.

It is really very simple. Wealthy people earn interest and poor people pay interest. Wealthy people tend to stay wealthy because they are more likely to be smarter/better educated and consistently make good decisions about money and financial matters. Poor people tend to stay poor because...

Ouch - that is a bad story. Pretty sure there is not going to be a happy ending. Whoever sold the car may not have had any right to sell it unless they were the owner that is named on the title. If so a valid bill of sale signed and dated by the owner listed on the car title would solve the...

School acceptance criteria based on any type of ethnicity, religion, or skin color needs to be 100% outlawed and banned in the US. A student's ability to be accepted into a selective school should be 100% about your achievements, leadership, and grades/test scores and not your racial or ethnic...

Puncturing the oil filter with screwdriver (or any other implement) in an attempt to remove a stuck filter is a really bad idea. If it doesn't work you have just bricked your car. Filters cases and internals currently are much more lightly constructed than 40-50 years ago when the screw driver...
