CA Refunds I feel your pain. Massachusetts has to rank near the top for states that delay refunds the longest for exactly this reason: increased fraud and identity theft. Their website said expect to wait 4-8 additional weeks. After chasing them for 5 months, I finally received my 2016...

I've never leased because I keep cars eight years+ then bite the bullet and return to the dealer for a good used car, typically 2-3 yrs. old with about 20-40K on them, keep them 5, 6 years until paid, enjoy ~ 2yrs. of 0 payments and use that savings to rinse, repeat. Got a 2010 RAV 4 with 217K...

Oh, misplacing eyeglasses/reading glasses ..... DW has lost 3 pair in the last 2 months. We did find a portion of one pair in the dryer ....

No flu shot and no flu (although DW got it, and I somehow escaped it ...)

This is the among the best investments you can make in your overall health from a preventative standpoint. Myself and DW both had Mohs procedures in 2016 as a result of a routine screening. The 'scars' are virtually invisible, and should be covered by most comprehensive insurance plans...

" Charbucks " LOL !

Has anyone retired to (or at least visited), the Athens GA or Aiken SC areas ? I have repeatedly ready very good things about both these locations

Absolutely loved the " Daryl " reference (Newhart was a funny show), as we date ourselves once again .... Booking.com is everywhere and their customer service is non-existent.

DW and I went down to 1 car 6 years ago, and we both work FT in different states - try pulling that off ... (full disclosure: I get to WFH often, it was the only way we could do it). It's often awfully frustrating, but has allowed us to pile the ' no car payment ' amount into ER savings

The Den Mother ... every company has one. A sweet, middle-aged busy body who knows everything from who ordered the cheese queso at lunch last week, to the boss' pin number: and everything in between. Often considered truly indispensable, she is the one go-to person who has an answer for...

I read this quote on this forum, and it stuck with me: " If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together ..." great quote to use for someone newly married.

I want to retire yesterday. I am 55 - Megacorp.is pure misery. May actually do it in Spring, 2018. 50

I got to a million just recently .... largely due to the market appreciation, but also 30 years of relentless saving, even when it hurt: through 2 layoffs, divorce, adult children who can't get it together, etc. etc. etc. Good thing too because my job is going away in 2018. Prepare for the...

Cars I loved/hated Couldn't afford car unitl out of college (yes, was brutal getting around for 4 years): - 1982 Ford Fairmont Futura ... a family sedan for a single guy. I felt like an idiot at times:facepalm: paid $2K thanks to a generous graduation gift form my grandparents. Drove it...
