    Paying down mortgage: Best way to make monthly payments?

    With the way the tax code works it really doesn't pay to pay down on your principal in the early years. By my calculations it works out the same whether you pay extra every month or you just save extra every month and then pay it all off at once. The advantage to paying it all off at once and...

    "Canadian Only" Subgroup or Topics

    How about a subgroup for those of us with no money, no savings, lots of debt and think retirement is for lazy people too busy having fun to dig themselves a grave on their last day of work? :D

    You may not be eating often enough. IF you are just getting your calories all at once it puts your body into starvation mode and it slows your metabolism storing energy as fat when it can. Try eating a third of your meal, then two hours later eat another thirdthen two hours later another third...

    do you hate your neighbor? solutions?

    All that stuff an easily be seen with an inspection before you by it which is just standard practice. A simple line tester will let you know the wiring gauge and power. you can see it when you open the box as well. If the city wasn't doing inspections it would open the door for private...

    do you hate your neighbor? solutions?

    Ha! That's rich. Everyone knows building inspectors are just tax collectors. If they approve a structure and it falls down next week The city and inspector aren't going to accept any responsibility. There's no legitimate reason for home construction inspectors.

    Open borders is sort of a last priority as it would take the dismantlement of all entitlement program, withdraw and decommissioning of all military bases and conflicts outside of our borders, and dismantle ment of the DEA and ATF first for it to be feasible. It would turn immigration into what...

    5% less than on the scale? Sure your trainer wasn't just trying to play mind games with ya? The important thing is to have clean feet when you use the scale. If my feet are dirty it reads 5% higher than if I just stepped out of the shower and dried off.

    I know exactly what you're talking about, I'm an extreme libertarian some might even label me an anarchist. But I've had many conversations where I end up defending republican views against socialist who think I'm a conservative. The only way to disabuse them of that thought is to then mention...

    Remember the good old days when "Too big to fail" was pronounced "monopoly" and the solution was to tear them down immediately instead of giving them unlimited monies? Not to worry though, The USSR thoroughly tested out the method of inflating their way out of debt and spending multiple times...

    Life Insurance: single or multiple policies

    I take the frugal option of no life insurance. The only reason I could see to get life insurance s to fake your death by a train to collect double indemnity and then skip off to mexico with the cash under the pseudonym of your name spelled backwards and wearing a fake beard and nose.

    Employability after felony

    That may be your opinion but it's not the law. Most states have selling pot as an instant felony no matter what the amount. Cops do unspecified stings where they aren't looking for anyone in particular and just ask people if they will sell them some pot. They run it just like the prostitution...

    Men: Why is suicide the answer to business losses?

    Much of it depends on the type of person it is. As a society men are discouraged from depending on others and for the most part soul searching is discouraged. Most men have few friends and after they get married they may not have any personal friends and only have their wife and their married...
