Hey guys. Do you know of any apps that will allow you to slow the shutter speed on an iPhone? Looking to take some nice fireworks pics and I heard that's the best way to get nice images of the show and not just colored dots in the sky. Thanks!!...

I have a BSME, but I have no field experience. Graduated in 2010, but found job in an unrelated field. Going back to local CC for an AutoCAD certification program.

Debt is exposure to risk. I prefer to limit it as much as possible. Slow and steady wins the race. It's paying for impatience in my book. Not going to sit here and argue about going into debt to save money. Your money, do what you want. I will not be teaching my kids that debt is ever a good thing...

Not saying take all your investment money out to buy the car. Wait, save up and pay cash.That 20 bucks a month you would save for 60 months would be put into your investments, along with the "payment" each month you would have been spending on the car. What good is it to make 4% on 40k when your los...

[quote]You do understand that debt can be used to save money, right?[/quote] Probably one of the most financially incorrect statements I've seen in a while. How can you save money by paying 2% interest, versus paying none by using cash? Then you could use the money you would have been paying the ...

Although such a thing as "responsible 18 yr old" is up for debate because they have relatively nothing to be responsible for, if he is responsible as you say he is, then show him how much more money and potential headaches he could save by not needing a loan for cars and other things. Why make it OK...

Co-signing a loan, cc is a really really bad idea. If he can't get the credit himself, he shouldn't have it. I understand he may not have credit due to his age, but it is giving him the wrong impression for future situations. I'm going to get reamed here, but I'm a Dave Ramsey listener and I will n...

13k per parent I believe. And the child can have multiple accounts. But you are handing over money to a particular state and betting on them to manage it well. Once I found this out I didn't do much more research on 529s....
