re: Wife and I seriously considering building a house
Posted by GaryOwen on 2/8/13 at 8:50 am
3 areas of advice, from experience.
1. If you do use a general contractor, make sure you put a deadline for completion on the contract with daily monetary penalties if not completed by the deadline.
2. If you are building in Louisiana, the New Home Warranty Act is basically to protect the ...

Was watching Fox and they had a story that talked about consequences of not having the debt ceiling rasied. Stated that one of the consequences could be the fed raising rates. Went on to talk about how that would effect on car loans and mortgages. Guess Fox New doesn't understand interest rates th...
Possible Interest Rate Increase

Any chance that this conjured up "debt crisis" is just a back door way for the Fed to raise interest rates?
Fed can claim we had no choice, we had to do it....

1st- I don't work for Wal Mart, so I don't see why I need to scan items and go through the check out process myself. Basically this is free labor for Wal Mart.
2nd- #1 wouldn't be that big of a deal in and of itself, except for the fact that you are depending on the typical Wal Mart patron to go...

Hate to be the one to break it to you, but after the split you only have 1 share. My understanding is they didn't do partial shares. Your 8/10 of a share should have got refunded to you in cash....

re: FAFSA & Pell Grant question
Posted by GaryOwen on 3/1/11 at 2:58 pm

I did this (although it was 20 years ago), and got a PELL grant the following year. Not sure if anything has changed since then.
You should still have the Army College Fund (if you were in the Army) or GI...
