Are you sure he is actually wealthy, or does he just have the illusion of wealth? I know people who earn $200k+ per year, and are broke as a joke - dozens of credit cards maxed out, a huge house with multiple new cars parked in the driveway, and they live from one paycheck to the next. In other...

2012 - 1 star out of 5. What a bloated, preposterous, ludicrous, sappy turd of a movie. You know you have a bad movie when you care so little about the characters that you are hoping that they ALL DIE. I can't believe that I wasted 2.5 hours of my life watching this "movie". Shame on EVERY...

I swear by SyncBack SE for all of my synchronizing/backup needs. Easy to use, and you can schedule backups and syncs any way you want. I wouldn't be caught without it. 2BrightSparks | SyncBackSE

I can't believe this thread has grown to 3 pages and not a single person has mentioned Michael Jackson yet. Off The Wall and Thriller are (IMO) among some of the best sounding records of all time. Also none of the following songs/albums are slouches: Allen Toussaint - The Bright Mississippi...

It's actually very simple to save money, but very few people have the discipline to follow a few simple rules: 1) Do a written budget each month, and follow it as close as humanly possible. This will likely free up a couple of hundred dollars each month since you will see where all of your...

Good for you! Feel blessed that your ears are happy with such affordable buds. Your Denons will easily sell in the For Sale forums, so you can recoup your money that way. I would recommend selling the Denons, leaving Head-Fi and never look back! Congratulations - I wish I was as blessed as...

Saw Avatar with the wife. We opted to see it in Real 3D, as neither of us like IMAX (too loud, too big, disorientating, too expensive, too many people, just way too much of everything for us to comfortably enjoy a movie). WARNING POTENTIAL SPOILERS AHEAD Pros: Sure was pretty to look at...

I have owned, and extensively listened to, all models of the Current Denon Headphone Lineup. Are the D7000s worth going for over the D5000s? Short answer: YES! Long Answer: YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS SSSSSSSSSSSSS!

Holy crap. Hearing about other people's horrible lives/problems makes me realize just how great my life is... At any rate, my "mulligan" would be to invest 15% of my annual income starting at age 13 (when I got my first paying job), and continued to do that for the rest of my working life...

Borderlands is fantastic fun, assuming you have 3 other buddies who will play regularly with you. The online portion isn't "Massive" though - only 4 players at a time. Assuming you have other buddies who play regularly with you, and you play all 4 of the classes up to level 50 and complete 2...

Always Sunny is the funniest show on TV right now, IMO. And it is a good replacement for Arrested Development (which I sorely miss and am still pissed to this day that they took it off the air). I digress. Believe it or not, my wife and I went and saw a live version of "The Nightman...

Good for you! I too am working toward a Debt Free goal. I am doing pretty well at age 39, with my only debt being my house mortgage, which I am paying down at an accelerated rate - and all the while putting 20% of my annual income into retirement accounts (Roth IRA, and 401k). Very exciting...
