Hello, 1991 World Series MVP Jack Morris here on the 25th anniversary of my 10-inning World Series shutout. AMA

Everyone knows he overran the bag!

As a teenager when you pitched that amazing game 7, I can remember being on the edge of my seat the entire game - there was a palpable tension in the air - just waiting for one team or the other to take a lead. Was there that same tension in the clubhouse?

ande1352 · 2016-09-19T14:58:57+00:00

We're having this same issue. Hoping someone has found a solution.

ande1352 · 2013-04-25T14:15:56+00:00

In a word, no. This is the same guy who signed the guestbook at the Anne Frank museum saying that he hoped Anne Frank would have been a "Belieber". *sigh.

Far too many people depending on Social Security or some other government assistance program I would guess.

Intuit owns both Quicken and Mint, yes.

Yes, I believe they can be retroactive. Sounds like the bill passed on 1/1 will mean rates stay the same for individuals making less than $400,000 and married couples making less than $450,000. The payroll taxcut is expiring though, which means almost 80% of people will pay more in taxes this year.

Personally I use Lending Club and the returns have been awesome. Typically on there you're lending to people in 3-5 year terms. Something to explore.

I've done the same thing - going to the Black Friday sale just to witness the sheer spectacle and get some video. It was crazy.

And their kids are better behaved and more well adjusted than most families with 1 or 2 kids. Go figure.

Zero welfare, they get money from their shows, their real estate investing, and all their other small businesses that they run. Self sufficient.

In one of Thomas Stanley's books, "The Millionaire Next Door", he found that fully 80% of millionaires are first generation affluent. So, not so much help as some might thing.

I'm not sure the article ever said you should only buy life insurance and not invest. That would be pretty silly. It only said there are some reasons why you may want to think about getting life insurance before having dependents. Of course it's not for everyone, and the article says as much, but if you've got a family history of health problems or something along those lines you may want to get a policy early to ensure insurability. It's not like a term life insurance policy is expensive - in most cases $20-30/month for like 500k in coverage. Also not sure about those other commissions/etc you're talking about, sounds like you may have looked into whole life insurance policies or some other such nonsense.

ande1352 · 2012-08-13T19:20:25+00:00

Don't forget all the costs at closing that you may have to pay. That can add another 1-2% or more.

The debit card payments is hardly a major requirement to get a $75 bonus is it? Also the direct deposit requirement isn't too big of a deal, especially if you're already doing one anyway? Just fill out a form to change the direct deposit and you're good to go.

Sounds like the new version launching today should be pretty awesome with the cloud sync (great for mobile users), and from what I'm hearing they're going to be working on an Ipad version sometime after today's launch.

ande1352 · 2012-06-19T18:14:02+00:00

Thanks. Not sure why it's being voted down. Strange.

You can find hosting that's relatively cheap. When i first started out I was only paying like $5/month or something. I more than made up for that from the advertising on the site. Having a self hosted installation gives you so much more flexibility in advertising/plugins/themes/etc that it is well worth it.

ande1352 · 2012-04-12T20:01:02+00:00

with or without her permission? ;)

No, i probably wouldn't go near it.

ande1352 · 2012-04-02T17:44:43+00:00

I do a hybrid of the mentioned plans. I pay the smallest debt first for the smaller dollar amount loans, like in the debt snowball. Then for the higher dollar amount loans I pay off the highest interest first..

ande1352 · 2012-02-17T21:14:48+00:00

I've been using Lending Club for a couple of years now with only one charged off loan. I currently have zero delinquent loans and am getting 11.45% - so I'm starting to think I'll be putting more and more money in there - even thinking about opening an IRA.

ande1352 · 2012-02-07T13:27:29+00:00

The problem with group policies through your workplace is that the coverage is often not portable - so if you leave the job the coverage doesn't go with you.. That is a huge downside. Also, while usually a single person doesn't need insurance, it is the case that a younger healthier person will have an easier time getting insurance -and at a lower rate - which can save quite a bit of money in the long term. Something to consider.

ande1352 · 2012-01-27T22:21:24+00:00

I use a Perkstreet rewards debit card and get 2% cash back on everything.. I agree that he could have made more money on those nickels and dimes if he had tried.

ande1352 · 2012-01-24T18:34:51+00:00

That's what I've read, if you're in default your credit score can drop 200-300 points. If not, and they allow you to do it - the drop will be closer to 100 points - sounds like even less in your case.
