    High cost of Weddings

    I'm a middle of the middle class kind of guy, and this event is so far north of my paygrade that anything I might have said in response to that proposition from my kid would have offended someone. Perhaps your son has lived well enough to feel such expectations are reasonable, I just can't imagine.

    USAA and W-9

    I've been with USAA for 40 years. I do banking, have credit cards, insurance, and most of my retirement portfolio with them. I have never sent them a W9, or been asked to send one.

    One day in New Orleans

    Just stayed at the Maison Dupuy, which is on Toulouse a few blocks from the French Quarter. It was nice, and the Bistreaux cafe in the hotel was great.

    SCOTUS Case Over Vacant House

    No.. it's not a get out of jail free card. This decision has exactly nothing to do with what happens if someone breaks into your house. People say they were charged with crimes they did not commit, and the decision is about whether the officers involved had probable cause to make the charge...

    SCOTUS Case Over Vacant House

    Its actually not a can of worms at all. I'm not sure how you could infer that from reading what is being decided here. If you are thinking that it might become possible for someone to force their way into one of your vacant properties, and when discovered by police they could simply say "I was...

    We just built our home with a builder in Central FL. We couldn't be happier. It cost more than we planned, but that was our fault - some of our choices were more expensive than the standard stuff. While making all the choices can be stressful, it's also fun and you appreciate things being the...
