re: The 3 missing SEC charter members

At the time GT was a national powerhouse. Dodd wanted unlimited football scholarships and didn't want to split Bowl revenue. It's a matter of record in the NY Times. Just read the history...books have been written about the old SEC....

Same for Medi-care.
Do any of you people understand?

Remember, the government can take your land and pay you their fair market price.
I would probably try to lease the right-a-way. Remember, the right-a-way also includes new utility lines, etc.
Go for payments instead of an outright sale..... ...

If you can't spend a few hours a week on your retirement then just throw the money away.
Either you want to be able to let your money work for you, or you work for your money.
You decide, the money is there, managed accounts are not the road to success.
Do your homework, invest wisely, and...

This is a no-brainer, raise your deductable. I carry a 5k deductable....if the company wants your business they will write the policy. They don't like it but they will, or change insurance companies. Your ride is over insured ....ask around...look at the Blue Book....
re: Student-Loan Delinquencies Now Surpass Credit Cards
Posted by RetiredG8tr on 11/28/12 at 5:46 pm
Teddy,
I'm 62 and can tell you I have been debt free since I was 42. Including cars, mortgage, credit cards, etc.
If the interest on your debt is less than the interest you can borrow, keep the debt. But, soon interest rates will return to their norms. If you have a fixed interest rate and it...

Buy you some IBD....it pays for itself. Remember, magazines have a lead time..30-90 day old news is worthless. Buy a Barrons every week....I still say IBD is the way to go for print material. Their website prints the next days paper at 18:00. Great info, plus other useful tools.
Good Luck........

nikki6,
Who do you think is on the hook for those loans? What if Obama pulls another GM? Average, middle-class citizens will lose money. You know, pension plans, 401ks, etc.
Remember, Obama bragged about taking away student loans from big business (bankers) and now we have a student loan bubb...

Based on the body of work on the college level, SOS is the best coach in the SEC. Look at Duke, at UF, and USC. Besides, he's cheap and produces results.
Will UTK go after DC at Duke? They should..........

SOS isn't butthurt, he tells the truth. The SEC has always been tilted toward old favorites. Any idiot fan can look at past schedules and draw an intelligent conclusion.
Look at the Stats, the "BEAR" wasn't really great eventhough he enjoyed "cheating", he even bragged about it. Read his Bio, it'...
re: What credit card can I get with a 7500 or 10,000 credit
Posted by RetiredG8tr on 11/22/12 at 5:38 pm
No offense to anyone. Why would anyone need a 20k credit card limit? I'm just curious? Is there a credit card out there that offers prime+1? I don't know, I don't use credit cards.
If one needs 20k why not use your local bank? I would think the interest rates would be much less. I don't understan...

4par, The general rule was (70s-80s) one could expect inside sales for one month to equal yearly income for the owner. There are many factors though. When it comes to convenience stores I probably would only buy one from a private owner. Large chains sell losing/troubled locations for a discount jus...

Are you saying 0% interest on loans the fed will not back up in default? GinnieMae is soon to go, just like the FHA billions the taxpayers owe.
Remember, the GM trick. Hell is going to be paid. I doubt the 40+% of non-tax-payers can afford the tickets........
