I have the Chase Sapphire and have used points for a car rental. I have points saved for a future vacation.
Sometimes I get a better rental car rate through the site than I can even with my corporate discount code.
For a lot of airline flights, you are better off transferring the points for m...

if you do online purchases from Home Depot or Lowes, or if you have the time to start doing some, you can always get 5%, sometimes 10% cashback on your Discover. When I have a big project I am planning, or when I buy a new tool that is 100 or more, I order online and do in-store pick up. You have ...

[quote]True story. Several years ago I bought 300 shares of Apple at $15/share. Gradually over 6 months it climbed to $22 or 23 a share. One day it dropped a coouple of points, and worried that I might lose my profit, I called in a stop loss at $20/share. Next day it dropped to $19 and a fraction fo...

So how do you determine the right percentage? Is a higher or lower percentage appropriate based on your investing strategy or the volatility? Or is it more closely related to your risk tolerance? ...

We have 529 plans for each kid (2). They will probably fund a year of college at Alabama or another state school. Our deal to them is if they earn a scholarship, they go where they earned it. If not, it is two years at a community college, living at home, then two more locally at a four year college...
