    Southwest is giving 50,000 points again

    50,000 is back. Some earlier posts were saying you get the points on first cycle. Is that after you spend the $2000 in 3 months? Or do they front you the bonus points? I guess my concern is, if I get the card now, then I have 3 months to spend...won't get points till February but we want to...

    Nook Color for newspapers

    I too have a Nook Color. The magazines on there are not good. At least the USA Today isn't. You don't get the colors, etc you do say from the magazines. Other than that, magazines are great, just like the real thing. I love mine!

    For the DR followers...

    Thanks all! My DD starts kindergarten in August and my other DD will be one next week and we were thinking of going somewhere next summer. So not as much to do at that age but the beach or Disney. We are also in St. Louis, Mo, so not many places that are too close to us that I would call fun...

    For the DR followers...

    We are pretty close to being done with BB2, just have 1 SL to pay off(another year or so) My question is, do you all still vacation during any of the steps. It doesn't seem very "gazelle" like, but I would like to take some kind of family vacation next year. Also, BB6 is paying off...

    for 2011(October)? Can you book now to secure a room and then add free DDP when/if it comes out next year? Also, what if discounts come out next year for those rooms? Basically, what is the advantage of booking now vs waiting till next year to book? Sorry, I am not up with all the ins...

    Anyone had to give up any "beauty rituals"

    in order to cut spending? Anything you refuse to give up? For example, I used to get pedicures every 5-6 weeks or so, but last week I used my own pedicure set and painted my own toes. While it's just not the same as going, it looks good and it's saving me $35. On the other hand, I do...

    need some budget help

    I vote to pay online also. You can set up automatic payments if they are the same amount every month. Takes the thinking out of things! We use YNAB for budgeting and this has really helped organize things.

    Do you carry full coverage insurance on your older, high mileage vehicle?

    I think on a 13 year old vehicle you probably should. I work auto claims and most people with older vehicles(older then 2000) have liability only. One option is to keep comprehensive only (deer hits, hail) which are common losses, and drop collision. Trucks do hold their value more then...

    Primetime: What Would You Do?

    DH and I watch it and love it! I think they are doing repeats now. My favorite is when they were at the grocery store and someone would ask to get in front of someone because they only had a few items and when they get the counter a bunch of bells go off and they are like the millionth...

    MTV-If you really knew me

    I did not watch last nights (they will repeat it this week) but I did watch it last week, which was the first episode. It was actually really interesting. I will be interested to watch more.

    Equinox, Rav4 or CR-V

    I agree with JoiseyMom. I have also have a 2010 Equinox and love it. We too test drove an older model Equinox several years ago and did not like it. The new one's are totally different. Go test drive one, you will fall in love!

    Dishwasher recommendations needed

    We just got a new Bosch to replace our old GE that came with the house. The basic GE was the loudest worst dishwasher ever!!! We got the Bosch during the appliance rebate program at Sears back in April and it's supposed to be the quietest of them all according to Consumer Reports. We spent...

    Help us buy an Equinox

    Not sure what year those OP Equinox's are, but I have a 2010 and I love it. You can go to Yahoo Auto or AOL Auto and you will find people love theirs also. We test drove one back in 07 and hated it also, but the new one's are great. We got the back up camera (about $350), which may help with...
