    ER Home in Florida

    MSULLY76 - How did you arrange to locate a place to stay in Naples from Boston? Did you physically go down and look around, use a realtor, stay with friends until you located a place, etc? I live in PA and would like to explore Naples as well, but not sure as to the best way to approach the...

    Golf and Bi-Focal Glasses

    ZMAN, I have the good fortune that my eye doctor is an avid golfer. He fixed me up with a pair of bifocal sun glasses where he moved the bifocal part of the lens as low as he could on the eye piece. This allows me to be able to read the score card (much to my dismay) and allows me to look over...

    For the military folks - anyone crossed over from E to O?

    I was an "O" in a USAR medical unit where at times some of the "O" slots were given to a higher headquarters unit. This left some folks who were close to retirement without a home or they had to transfer to another unit. The soulution was for them to go the other way...they became an "E" and...

    Anyone use ADP for their payroll processing?

    The large firms such as the ADP's of the world do a good job. I would caution you to do some homework if you choose to use an unknown local or regional firm. I have seen instances where the service provider did not remit the payroll taxes and went bankrupt. You are still liable for the unpaid...

    How do you define "rich"

    In my case, the politicians decided. Several years ago, I went to bed only to wake up the next day to learn that Congress passed a new tax law that declared I was now, well, rich... and of course should therefore pay my fair share of taxes........and so it goes.......

    The Invisible Rich

    I happened to catch a reality type show where a real estate agent was trying to help a young married couple who were first time home buyers. I almost fell out of my chair when they indicated that their budget was $516,000.

    Financial Aid and receiving settlement money

    The FAFSA form asks for the amount in the student bank account as well as earnings information as reported on their tax return. The information reported is as of the date the report was signed. Therefore, I believe that your student would not report this settlement until the cash is actually...

    The Invisible Rich

    Clearly, there were a large number of folks who did not understand what they were getting into. Many were simply trying to buy a home for their family. However, from what I read/seen, there are hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of people heading into the financial ditch due to taking on...

    "On a fixed income"?

    Along the same lines, how about the term "Working Family"? Aren't most families working families? Of course, this is just political code.

    The Invisible Rich

    We all have seen/read the various profiles of families who are now in trouble and are about to go under. Maybe I am a little old fashioned, but many of these folks borrowed every last penny they could based on the most optimistic cash flow assumptions without any contingency for an unexpected...

    The Invisible Rich

    Yup....Even though the book is over 10 years old, it appears that LBYM hasn't gone out of style. I thought that maybe some of the "Young Dreamers" would find this short refresher beneficial.
