Money Matters - Part 13

Along the lines of re-distributing starter veggies... The SNAP program allows veggie seeds but I never see anyone getting them.

If anyone needs a credit card there is this offer from Chase with no interest until Jan 2014 and no charge for balance transfers. I love these zero interest cards although it does encourage me to spend more than I should. I don't want to get in trouble so I changed the . in the link to DOT. I just get behind with all the vet bills and my house payment went up $80 a month partially because my homeowners insurance went up 33% last year and the escrow had been calculated before the change. I have got to move out of Connecticut when I retire - no choice - it is too expensive here.

Wow - 33% in one year?!! Probably influenced by the two storms last year? Yes, it is discouraging knowing you HAVE to move for retirement. We want to always be near the kids - especially when they are married and have kids - but the best retirement places are not always the best jobs places.

Holy crap!

Were do I sign up to teach in Chicago?

Tell me about it! Not too shabby around here either.

Holy crap!!! That's insane!!! How can even ONE admin be worth that much less dozens? Pyramid scheme...the more people 'under' you the more you must earn to be above them all.

Insane is a very appropriate word, Sallyg. Boggles the mind

They should be ashamed of themselves even thinking that they "earned" the right to steal from the society who put together the money for children's education.

Got that right Memory

I hated B o A and W Fgo before so will just continue to avoid them.

Closed on my refi tonight. Nice to save $$.

Glad to hear that, Victor.

We use a local bank and a credit union. The credit u ion's rate of interest is higher than the bank.

Incredible.

had heard about this, thanks for the article.

I wonder what would have happened to that guy if he'd actually managed to turn a profit for his company while drunk.

He'd have gotten a bonus.

For second straight year, social security payouts exceeded revenue - this time by 4%. But not to worry, we're told by some pols. The gov's obligations are 100% backed by - gov obligations.

My Flat Liner job. ‎2 weeks I will be getting a reassement for a raise. Yippee. Found out I am earning paid vacation time. Yippee.

Now the light at the end of the tunnel. I found out today that the company has taken on a new client. Only took 15 stores throughout New England. I had to sign a form I would not talk about companies business between each other. OK so, what I am leaning to is I could get another store, not 1 but maybe 2.

Not only that they will need Supervisors!!!! :-) Me Me Me Lets wait & see. :-)

Am I good candiate to move up? Test Me

Hoping for the best for you, schicken!!

Just had an EarthQuake, Serious

Centered in Portland, ME.

Fracking?

Wish it was the fiscal cliff crumbling! I'm paying lots of attention to emerging growth mutual funds in my retirement account right now. Unlike stocks I can pull out quickly. Account manager said lots of people are putting it all there. I wouldn't do that!

After what was said in last nights debate, it looks like high interest paying stocks might do allrignt too. In order to have these accounts that are still growing well, I don't spend money.

Good news, Sherrie!

Google's shares were slammed today when their earning's were accidentally released during market hours. They lost a ton of money and shares dipped 9% before they actually halted selling. Of course, this doesn't bode well for a lot of the other tech companies not to mention what it says about the companies that would have been paying Google money for advertising.

Did not surprise me. Microsoft did badly too. It's coming...

Wow.

http://philadelphia.cbslocal.com/2012/10/19/survey-40-percent-of-americans-have-500-or-less-in-savings/

I'm in that 40%. My entire savings account is a fairly new jar with coins collected from my pockets daily, and has probably less that $50.

wow is right

Son loves chocolate chip waffles, I usually buy the Eggos cause it's just fast and easy on school mornings
Went to buy some today the 24 count was 6.99!!!! YIKES, needless to say I bought the no name brand this time

flowAjen, 30¢ for one breakfast of a chocolate chip waffle... and you desisted? Yes, prices have gone up, but what are your kids worth?

(frankly I think a breakfast of carbs and sugar is worthless...)

Yeah, I know, and he has to have them EVERY morning, he's a little ocd, highly intelligent and has to have things a certain way. I make sure he has his multi vitamins every morn

I knew those waffles were too expensive got them at another store $1.70 less

Prices can vary wildly! I really feel I earned my keep as stay at home mom by shopping better and using my labor in food prep.

Another bad day for the stock market - this time it was Apple's turn to lead the way down. Apparently investors didn't like the pricing on the new iPad Mini. The stock was down 3% today and is down about 13% from its high of $705 a month ago.

No surprise. Worse coming.

i thought it bad results from 3m and a few other large corps that caused the drop.

Bad earnings in general.
