Even Hawaii can be cheap. I've been looking in Hawaii, but passed on this one. 13-4008 Lauone St, Pahoa, HI 96778 Your chance to own a piece of the rock for the future. A one acre lot covered by 2018 lava flow. NO access at this time. Unknown when any roads will be open in this area. $500...

Two words, ocean view. Seriously, developers are desperate and this a truly rare one that does not require tearing down an existing house. New homes in the neighborhood sell for up to $3M, and this is the "cheapest" of the three beach towns.

Retired at 60, five and a half years ago.

Got mine at Hawaii Volcanoes NP in June. Turned 62 in April. Already took advantage of the half price camping for Sequoia National Forest. It is accepted when making reservations on the recreation.gov site.

Just booked a Big Island Hawaii trip for the last two weeks of June. Taking sis and her grandson, who is graduating eighth grade the day we depart. A cousin moved there a year ago, so lodging is "free". I used a combination of Alaska miles and a $99 companion fare to get us there from San...

brett, I just checked Costco for a car rental in Kona, where there are no off-airport options. What a deal! No $10-13 a day extra driver charge with Avis, at least. AAA has the same agreement with Hertz, but the rates are higher.

Depending on the city, off-airport car rentals can be no inconvenience and have saved me $70 a week or more. Enterprise has a lot of city locations, but hours of operation are very limited. On Maui, Advantage is off airport, but has an airport shuttle. Thrifty/Dollar are just off airport in...

I volunteer at LAX and I see how risky it is to completely depend on your handheld device without a paper backup. Its not that hard with most airlines to print it out at a kiosk or before you leave your home or office and may save you from missing your flight.

Consumer Cellular uses AT&T's network. They state that you can use any AT&T phone and they provide a SIM card.

April Fools Departure I just put in my paperwork. Last day worked, 1 April 2013!

If you are traveling in the desert or mountain West, Verizon has the best coverage. Maybe there are other carriers that use Verizon's network. Since it is not GSM, there is no SIM card.

I stopped reinvesting dividends for the reason that manually calculating cost basis for taxes got to complicated. Now, its easy, just using what the brokerage provides.

I dont chase hot tech stocks, so never bought APPL. My best performer was EPD followed by KMP. In the non-MLP arena, it was NI. BAC was my biggest loser.
