    Credit Card Insecurity at the Gas Pump?

    It's too much of a headache to pay cash with the prepay gas pump setups. You either have to prepay less than what your car will take, and end up with a non-full tank, or overpay and go back inside to get your change. Of course waiting in line each time behind the cigarette and lottery ticket...

    Is the used car market dead right now?(2017)

    Originally Posted By: eljefino This is true and when you sell a used car you have to consider that the buyer will not be cut from the same cloth as you.

    Originally Posted By: eljefino He was rude b/c of the "take it or leave it" right out of the gate. IMO negotiating should happen after a couple minutes of small talk like "how long have you had the car" and "why are you selling it". Preferably in person. It shows the potential buyer is...

    Originally Posted By: eljefino Mr $5700 was rude but the time he invested was 30 seconds. So if he has 1/10 successes he still wasted less time than driving across town and making an offer in person. When I get lowballed I just say give me your number and if it doesn't sell in two weeks I'll...

    Got in trouble at school

    Welcome to high school, where a bunch of low-paid people take out their frustrations on kids. So stupid that in that situation, you had no recourse. You guys were just messing around and apparently the other dude took it too far after you left. Do you know why there was a two month gap between...

    2016 Nissan Versa Note

    I rented one. Good little basic car. I would go with the manual over CVT. Make sure your wife takes it for a nice long test drive on the highway. My experience was that the car would wander at highway speeds. This may vary based on how much you wiggle the steering wheel and how much wind there...

    Rutgers barred students from career fair

    It must be nice to have had parents who paid your way through your younger years. When I was in college I could barely rub two nickles together, let alone unnecessarily buy a suit that is a slightly different color than the one I already owned.

    Best budget used family hauler

    I don't have a first-hand suggestion for you, but thank you for the reminder to not have kids anytime soon. I'd personally look at a Toyota van or Ford SUV first (Explorer/Edge/Escape.) If the price is not suitable, then the Chrysler van, so long as you can budget a transmission replacement or...

    Cabin Living And A Secluded Lifestyle

    I would have a normal electricity source and a well for water. I don't see it as practical to continuously put gas in a generator. The solar panel idea above is good if you don't want to rely on the grid.
