I live outside of Boston, where the median home price is way north of 500k. And living in a rich area doesn't make you rich - I can attest to that personally, too: I rent, I eat ra…

I really didn't have anything negative to say about the Craigslist post - we've all seen this sort of naivety before. Most of us have even been there. But what really bothered me p…

do you have any links to those "well-worn rules of thumb"? i'm looking at building a "purchase!" button, that's obviously quite important in the whole scheme of my site, so i'd rea…
