Great question, I went back and looked to see what my wife's and my education would cost today if we were starting over. I'm a teacher and when I graduated my total bill for undergrad was a little more than 10K more than what I would make my first year of teaching. Today, that same education wo...

re: Do you like College Sports more or less than you did 10 years ago? - grsharky
Less, and there are a few reasons that have come together at the same time that led to my checking out more. 1. WVU hasn't done much of consequence in the past decade, by mid October they're not playing for anything other than an also ran bowl. I still have my season tickets and go to most of th...

re: Credit card recs - grsharky
We use the Citi Double Cash card for pretty much everything. I also have a Southwest card that we use for certain things to rack up points for flights. I like the Citi card because there is no fees and I don't need to activate the rewards each qtr. I know it's a bit lazy, but it works for us. ...

I had no clue that there wasn't a beach in Key West, guess I just assumed there was since it's an island. I don't live in South Florida and we've never planned a trip there so I was just in the assumption camp there. ...

re: Can someone help me explain how people are affording a house in today's market? - grsharky
I know this is about houses, but today I was looking at used 4Runners online and I think the chickens are coming home to roost for some people. Just tons of 2020-2022's for sale on Carfax. I figured cars are now like houses, too many people buy too much for their budgets and then get underwater. ...
