I was just talking about this with a friend the other day. We both agreed that to date, it was the most fun either of us have had with a computer football game. Watching your ficti…

My experience was similar. I sold a 2006 to them that had major visible rust issues. The KBB was 1650, they gave me 1600. I was surprised they bought it at all to be honest.

No one complained because they acquired user consent to use the data. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/page/ct-perspec-p...

Not to mention I find Spotify's discover weekly feature to be worth at least 50% of it's monthly cost. Every week it generates a 30-song playlist tailored to my tastes and I end up…

Although I agree with you that many pension funds have been mismanaged, it's not 100% your fault if your 401k plan only offers poorly-performing, high fee funds as many do. I'm not…

* I use hourly mostly because it is common and is met with the least resistance. Either way, raise your rate at least a little after each gig. Don't get complacent, just keep ratch…

I've been doing contract work since 2004 * LLC with S-Corp designation. This is very tax-advantaged vs. Sole Proprietor. * Currently, I'm mostly on-site for one client. * 1-person …

I've been doing freelance/contract work since 2004. My advice would be to start by doing hourly contract work through agencies/recruiting firms. It's not glamorous, but it initiall…

The definitions of most Americans doesn't matter in this case. What's in the proposed congressional bills matters.

Why would you be shocked? There's all sorts of nasty things in these tax proposals for the less than wealthy. They are looking everywhere they can to find offsets to make the tax c…

Agreed. I'm 47 and I get hit up every week for good positions. Today I make more than I ever have. When I was 27 I was working at a Big Corp that laid off a good portion of their 6…

I briefly had a Facebook account years ago before deciding I didn't like it. I deleted/deactivated my account. About 6 months ago I received an email saying that 'someone' had reac…

I have no evidence other than a person that works in claims for an insurance company looked at my claim, drafted a letter citing relevant statutes and the bill went away. I agree t…

I had this same thing happen. My daughter was admitted via ER and it turned into a 6 day stay. At the end we received a bill for 40k for being out of network. Luckily I have friend…

I'm over 40 and have been doing contract/freelance work for 15 years. The very simple but unglamorous advice on getting started that you never see is to get a few initial gigs thro…

Not heresy at all. Everyone I know that has used it, including myself, really likes it. Yet no one I know has ever used it a real production environment. I guess it has some tracti…

Why?

Or Blackwater (Xe) mercenaries.

I just started a new gig at a place that enforces a 35-hour work week. I get just as much done as I did working 40+ hours, but I'm way happier and just generally more relaxed. It's…

I totally agree. Capitalism should be the means for generating enough wealth for everyone to eventually no longer have to spend their lives toiling away. Unfortunately, it's been p…

I had one of their cards years ago when I was in college. It was as you describe. Years later I now have a personal and business card with them and the terms are good with a decent…

Because our society supported you when you were a energy/water guzzling sprog.

Not the OP, but I would have had Arkham Horror: The card game on this list. It came out fairly late and hasn't ended up on many best of 2016s, although Quinns from Shut up and Sit …

You're right. I didn't say it did. I was just trying to give some insight into how it works for people that have maybe never worked for tips. I am of two minds about tipping. As a …
