    Why NOT Turbo Tax?

    I've been using Turbo Tax for around 10 years now. It gets easier every year. My biggest advice is that the state return is a ripoff. NJ efile is very straightforward and easy and I think Turbo Tax wanted around $40 to file the state return.

    Best cruise for kids that won't break the bank?

    I would highly suggest using cruisecritic.com for some research. It's probably the cruise version of disboards. Summer is the most expensive cruise season in general. The prices also vary greatly by embarkation ports. As far as lines go, to each is own. Carnival used to be known as the...

    What is the normal callback time for a job after an interview?

    I once had an interview for which the only reason I went was to have some leverage to get a raise. Well it went well, but I never heard from them. One year and 2 days later I got a message on my machine from the department manager asking me when I could start and they were excited to have me...

    Does anyone have whole house water filtration?

    I am looking into the filters too! We have a small water company that invests no money into the aging system, they only repair pipes when they break. I don't like soft water, but we have a lot of sediment and residue in our system. I actually replaced a dishwasher thinking it was shot, but...

    What Sec. 501(c)(18) Pension Plan is exactly

    Box 1 should equal Box 5- Box 12 - Box 14. So if your Box 5 was 60,000 and Box 12 was 3,000 and pension contribution was 4,000 than Box 1 should be 53,000. If your Box 1 is not including your pension contribution you need to find out why not?

    EBAY info/help selling concert tix

    I've used StubHub numerous times for buying and selling and have never had a bad experience. You can also get paid by either paypal or check. The only drawback is a 15% commission. Go on the StubHub just to get a rough idea what they are going for. Remember, just because tickets are listed...

    Is the economy getting better or worse in you area?

    I live in a mixed blue collared and middle management neighborhood and there are a lot of unemployed people. The one saving grace of a two income family is they can withstand 1 layoff at least temporarily. It just scares the heck out of me that the government is going to spend so much money...

    you have $750,000 what do you do with it?

    I own gold mine in Nigeria. Being Nigerian national I cannot sell gold. If you deposit $750k US in my account I will transfer ownership to you and being a US citizen you can legally sell gold and make millions and millions. :-)

    WOW - I just sold my old gold........

    Be very careful with any gold parties, hotel gold buyers, and even jewelry stores. You are basically just adding a middleman and reducing profits. These same people are just buying your gold and selling it for huge profits. That is why they give out gift baskets. Companies like US Gold...

    WOW - I just sold my old gold........

    Silver jewelry is more or less worthless to sell as scrap metal. You will only get about $4.50 for a 1 oz. chain, which is a pretty nice sized chain. I would try selling it on ebay as a jewelry piece.

    Getting ready to buy Turbo Tax - any good deals?

    I've used Turbo Tax for years and just use the online version. My previous returns are simply stored on their servers. Saves a lot of headaches when hard drives crash and such. Like I said I've done it for years and have never had a problem.

    WOW - I just sold my old gold........

    2.4 oz = 68 grams 68 grams = 43.73 dwt (pennyweight) today's payout from USGB for 14k is $23.95/dwt. So 43.73x23.95= $1047.33. I would suggest you do take this to a local jewler to get a more accurate weight in grams and to verify it is all 14k. I sent some gold in on friday and...

    Anyone file their taxes yet?

    I filed and was accepted last Saturday (1/24) thru Turbotax. Money was in the bank friday (1/30). I know I should get less withheld, but we got back $7900. Planning a Colorado vacation this summer and going to buy some stocks with the rest.
