This is not and should not be accepted as a social norm. As a man in his mid-20s, I have never said anything to a woman on the street in passing. It doesn't matter that you think you are being friendly bycomplimenting someone. Walking down the street is not the same as being in a social...

Simple savings/investing that everyone should do: 1. Have an emergency fund of preferably 6 months worth of living expenses in a simple savings account (use Ally or CapitalOne360 as they have the highest interest rate) 2. Invest in your company's 401K at least up to the full match. It's free...

You need to get a better sense of your finances. There's no reason for you to not know the terms of your loan. Your number one priority should be to pay off those student loans as quickly as possible over the next decade. You have a good emergency find saved. Are you investing in a 401K? IRA...

Just finished the season after a long-day marathon. The first episode was a great start to what I think was a disappointing season. I found it strange that so many story lines that seemed central to this show and the characters were not pursued more, and others took center stage. Still, great...

Keep up the good work with the Blackzillians.

We're actually leaning towards Silver Spring, but I haven't seen any 1 bdrs for less than $1,500. Mind sharing where this is?

I've been on NT for almost a decade now and thought I'd raise this question here since NTers are generally very helpful. I'll be relocating to the D.C. area for a job in the next few weeks. I'll be working downtown (near Farragut North Metro station) and need some advice on where to live. I'm...

For those who are waiting for deals on TV, the time to buy is right now! The best TV deals are not to be had on Black Friday, but usually during the week leading up to it, or immediately afterwards. I just bought a 60 inch LED Sharp from Target this morning for $699 which rivals the best BF...

So you tell someone that investing in a 401K is worthless because of high fees (false), the risk of the government seizing your account (unlikely) and the devaluation of the dollar over time yet you recommend stashing money in the mattress? I hope you aren't giving out financial advice to anyone...

For $35, Chromecast is great. I can stream Youtube from my phone and computer, and anything else I'm playing in the browser. To me, that's worth $35.

Anyone here been to Croatia? I really want to go to Dubrovnik and maybe squeeze in some Italian cities on the same vacation.

I've been following your posts in this thread and have been waiting for some enlightening information that you learned from your "studies" to come forth, but have yet to see nothing but generalizations and conspiracy theories. Do you honestly not see the prejudice, hatred, and yes, anti-Semitism...

Go ahead and enlighten us rather than just speak in generalities and put down a whole group of people based on what you "studied in your spare time." Niketalk is a large community, don't forget that there are people here who know as much, or more than you, on certain topics (perhaps even topics...

Of course there are many young people who do not have the slightest clue as to how to conduct themselves leading up to, during, and after an interview and have no idea on how to market their skills effectively. Yet, there are many others out there who do, and still cannot find decent employment...

It'd be interested to hear how all of you are investing for your retirement. What's your asset allocation like? Are you as risky as you are with your day trading? On a separate note, any advice on where/how to invest a few thousands to grow a future (3-5 years from now) down payment on a house?

People grow out of it and the brands realize that they need to release products/market to those who are purchasing their product: mostly teenagers. I stopped "collecting" when I started paying my own bills and haven't looked back since. I'll probably buy a few more Jordans in my lifetime when I...

Yes, that was a stupid thing for Obama to say knowing that thousands of plans won't be continued due to not meeting the minimum requirements. Does this mean that thousands of others won't be able to keep their plan? No. What it means is, that any government policy is much messier than a single...

Are you talking about those who are on SS that are not yet able to enroll for Medicare? If you're retired and pulling SS, you are most likely eligible for Medicare. Secondly, if your premiums double and you aren't able to afford them you can find a more affordable plan on the exchanges, and...
