Well, just to be clear, I'm including: Being in college 4 years Deferring a year after I got out (no good job) Paying for 4 years Deferring for 2 years while back in grad school Paying for 10 years since It was only during this past 10 year stretch that I could have paid...

So,?by the time they are 18 and I have contributed 85k?and the account earns 12% ($10,200)=95,200 would be available for college.? Now, say my daughter uses 45k and their is 50, 200 left and she wants to use that to buy a house....I would pay no taxes on the withdrawal of that money?? Is that right, too good to be true? Will I have to pay taxes on the 50,200 as this would be for a non qualified expense? At my tax rate? ? Withdrawals are not...

It looks like my post was eaten. To those that believe that we are not affecting the environment, I wish to provide some facts. Makind has historically been changing the envorionment we live in and it has been documnented in history books and other references, mostly science related journals. How can anyone say we aren't changing the ecology of the planet by destroying? parts of that ecology almost every day. Examples- The Dodo bird was...

black, gray, pin stripe, some shade of brown, and a dark charcoal ? Black, gray and?charcoal?? Why not just black, black and black.? There really isn't a huge difference here.? And what color is that pin stripe - probably a stripe on black or stripe on navy?? You really know variety! ? Mix it up, man - throw in an olive or something.?

Check out TKTS. I wouldn't. ? 1. Their tickets aren't half-priced. 2. The have a huge board out front that keeps an up-to-the-minute listing of what shows they have tickets for.... they don't have tickets for those shows. 3. You have to pay in cash 4. You have to wait 4 - 6 hours to get anything. ? TKTS was a pretty good deal at one time.? Now I think it's one of the city's biggest tourist rip-offs.

Scientists tend to find what the want to find And someone who has?a vested interest in getting you to read his articles, buy his books, watch his shows,?etc doesn't? ? I will not disagree with you, that does happen, however that doesn't the other side more credible.? They have just as much of an agenda and interest in finding and presenting only the things that will benefit them.

Here are some new vocabulary words for you:? Filene's Basement, Burlington Coat Factory, Marshall's, Daffy's, Century 21. If any of these chains are in your area, you should be able to buy basic businesswear for a song.? Fie on business casual.? Why do bosses think up a third wardrobe for you to buy? Buy clothing that is not too fitted so that you can still wear it with a belt if you drop a size or your can layer another piece...

I have almost been in that same spot! Was expecting 10 and found at the last minute there were 25!!!!!! At that point, customizing the menu to fit everyone's dietary preferences includes asking everyone which dish they like best from the local Chinese takeout.? ? Good! Cuz I was thinking you were MEAN!!!! Well, I am mean, but this time it was at the OP's request.?

"Sillymommie" (aside from the snide comment) you obviously haven't been reading what I said. I don't like to have the same thing over and over again. And I already stated that most of the veggies I like can't be frozen (no broccoli or Brussels sprouts). Personally, I don't mind frozen veggies--organic edamame or lima beans... yummm! --but I don't do dinner rolls or bread.? I'm not anti-carb or...
