His story is far more akin to that of a toothless, trailer-park denizen who buys a winning lottery ticket at the nearest liquor store. It says more about McAfee's hedonistic tendencies than about the decline of value. LBYM applies to those worth more than 100 Million, too.

It sounds like one of those private moment accidents that you really don't want to have listed as your cause of death.

If she is going to get all this national publicity, she had better figure out the story of her credit card debt and how she is going to explain it. Seems like she must have had about $40K as far as I can guess.

I am mystified as to how this financial miscreant could expand his story into a "book". No review I have read states that he gives either a financial analysis of his situation, nor does he have a redemptive resolution to this. It's basically an expanded one-time article full of omissions...

Saw him briefly on CNBC last night. He was a weasel (no disrespect to our animal bretheren). He really did not seem to have any real insight or guilt about what he did. They mentioned he had also been on the Today show. So he is evidently out promoting his book. I hope his editors decide...

This article is good cautionary tale about second marriages. I agree with the comment that this is a story about personal relationships. He certainly wasn't honest with himself about planning for the future of this blended family. Both he and his wife had to sign all those mortage...

Make sure and get any available information about water testing from wells in the area you look at before buying. A great deal of the well water in arid places in the the Great Basin like Nevada and Utah (which are basically dried-out ancient seabeds) is steeped in arsenic, selenium, uranium...

As others have said, your diagnosis of CLL makes the decision for you. I certainly don't like the way you were made privy to the other human resources issue for the other fellow, and made party to his termination. I would watch out for this company. Get all you can get from them. If they...

On the South Rim, there is also a nice trail/walk that goes along the west road toward's Hermit's rest. You don't have to travel very far to be away from the crowds and have a chance to experience the beauty in solitude. I believe there is also a free bus that runs near the route in the summer...

1. April would be a good time for this trip, snow mostly gone, not too hot. 2. A week in GC? The GC is worth an overnight or two at most, as mentioned above, there are other outstanding parks/sights in this area to see. 3. It is imperative to get reservations for in-park lodgings as soon...

Yeah, too much stuff for such a short visit. The general rule of thumb is one island per week, so you've already got too much on your plate. Unless, you must do something every day and just don't want to spend time on beaches. As to Maui- Road to Hana is one full long day. Do you really...

Sooo, how difficult is this Wii and the fun Bowling, Fit, Driving, etc to hook up to your TV? My TV is big and it's difficult to get to the back.

The USA or the world could not possibly pay for bone marrow transplants to cure all the AIDS patients.

I haven't read all the other posts, but the one physician who became a "concierge physician" in my area is not at all well regarded by his peers. He doesn't have hospital priviledges, so if you have to be hospitalized, you must pay someone else for the care.

I'm buying me a big 'ol mattress and pulling out the stuffing so at least I'll know where some of my money is. Half I'll fill with cash, half with shotgun shells.

OMG- This so reminds me of The Attack of the Killer Shrews (1959 Horror Movie)

My experience with SB is that the 1.5% fee is assessed QUARTERLY. It doesn't sound like much, until you look at your statements. In round numbers, and in a VERY basic example: On a $1 million portfolio, SB takes $15,000 out every quarter, and lists it on a small line in the 6 page report...

A negative colonoscopy gives you great peace of mind.

Suze Orman is approachable. My 80 year old mother listens to her. If this is what it takes to make my 80 year old mother somewhat financially literate, it's great to me.

1. Health insurance companies are regulated, and need a special license. I think there are covenants and restrictions about ownership. I also think you need physicians on your board. 2. "We don't need a lot of overhead to run this type of organization" is hopelessly naieve. Administrative...

My research on Waikiki has convinced me not to rent a car for the week, but to rent on a daily basis, when we go to the North Shore.

My head is still spinning a bit, but you guys have great info. If were solely up to me, I'd go with Trombone Al's great find. However..... One thing that TripAdvisor is good for is looking at traveler photos. Many travelers are nice enough to post the views from their rooms and mention if...

Agree with splitting your accounts so they are both under $100K. Cap1's rates have been steadily declining. They do not alert you when the rate changes. If you could get a lock on a better rate, may be OK. It also depends on your tax bracket.

The Royal Hawaiian ( pink palace) is closed for about a year for renovations. Cross that one off the list.

Oh, and I'm a big fan of the Prince Hotels on Maui and Hawaii, but the one on Oahu is atop the marina, and has been vetoed by the group because of the lack of a beach.
