by Flexo

Money Magazine is running a feature that provides tips for getting the best deal for several specific purchases.

Best of 2006, January Through June

by Flexo

He kills the suspense only a few paragraphs into the story (and I’ll spoil it for you): Despite the behavior of the market during the last Presidential election, over longer periods of time, the stock market has done significantly better ...

Snowy Weekend Ahead

by Flexo

There is a major snowstorm headed its way to my area this weekend. I have enough food in my apartment to last me through the weekend, but I need to pick up some groceries for the week before the storm hits. That means I might have to go out tonight.
