My wife and I paid off our 1982 1st mortgage (16%) in 5 years, 9 months, at age 34. We found not having a mortgage made our lives less stressful and gave us more options about spending post mortgage.
Oh, we also bought a minivan without a loan while paying off the mortgage. They would only let us pay 10% of the Principle, once a year, in addition to the regular mortgage payments. That 1986 van lasted us until the oil pump broke in 2006, although we bought a 2nd mini-van in 1992. Buying a new vehicle every 3 years or less is insanity, despite it being a common bad financial habit. I used transit from 1985 on, when I didn't bike to work.
One employer even let me expense my monthly transit pass, as a cheaper alternative to subsidising a parking spot by $100 per month plus tax. My kids and wife could also use the pass, when they didn't have a youth pass or College Student Card as Bus Pass of their own. An Express bus stops next block, something we considered when buying our home. | 00 | not toxic |

Democrats just cannot get out of their own way. Although I tend to vote Democratic, I am troubled by Ms. Hogue's demand that all Democratic candidates stand up and salute to her organization. All politics is local, Ms. Hogue does not live in my district, and I think her expectation is devastating to the Democratic party.

Really? The government provided no grants, no refundable tax credits, no assistance of any kind while you "paid yourself" $3 an hour?
And now they are taking half? Just how much are you raking in? They don't take half until your 202801st dollar, and those above it.

Alceste, you keep focusing on the legal aspects, but there is more to social and political life than the law.
This incident reflects a political climate in which students have incredible power to victimise respected academics for peccadilloes, and no one will defend them because they cower in terror at being the next victims themselves if they do.

Why doesn't anyone know how many jobs went to TFWs? Why are the Liberals so disinterested in tracking those numbers?

So much for the polls.......I guess you all still don't get it. My suggestion - keep doing what your doing. Maybe your inability to face reality will eventually come around. How about report the news honestly and try to come up with a message that helps everyone instead of just pandering to your base. The voters understand that your present message of take from one group of people and give to another doesnt work out so well for them. Until then the RNC will keep raking in the dough and the only DNC donor will be George Soros. You know the guy who wants open borders, socialism, and the destruction of American values. Kind of tough to square that with us average citizens trying to make a better life for our children. | 00 | not toxic |

"Foreign Affairs Minister Freeland rejects Russian offer to lift travel ban".
What a glorious headline. If you try and trace it to the sources - there was no "offer", and so there was nothing to "reject".
Russian media asked unnamed Russian official for a comment as it seems to be the first time in world's history that a Foreign minister is banned entry to another country. The source explained that Russia did not start all this and so can not technically move first, but that they are always ready to cooperate.
Freeland responded that it is important to engage.

I was just commenting on the idea that any increase in the cost of production will create an equivalent rise in prices, based on an actual recent increase in cost for me.
So, I agree that every step in the supply chain is potentially vulnerable to cost increases, although even if production costs rise it may not get passed on. On the other hand, 5% of jobs are minimum wage, and many of those are restaurant/retail, so the number of minimum wage jobs that touch a supply chain can be high (agriculture) to low (specialized tool construction). | 00 | not toxic |

Trayvon Martin didn't cause his own death. He was a 16 year old boy who wasn't committing any crime at the time he was being followed by an adult stranger. Martin ran away from him because thats what we teach kids to do when being followed by some one unknown, its called stranger danger. George Zimmerman was in his 30s at that time and as an adult should have been able to de-escalate the situation and could have by simply NOT FOLLOWING Martin to begin with.
Martin and all of us We have a right to not be stalked nor do we have to answer any question by any person NOT A COP as zimmerman wasn't. Zimmerman provoked a confrontation and he knows it. The only reason he got off is because FLA state laws don't recognize degrees of manslaughter. And since he story is the only one told the DA went with that.

Sorry, but those ideas are only for those who really don't know Church history. First of all Vatican II is a real bona-fide ecumenical council. It has more authority than any pope alone. This is because the bishops of the world---who are the successors to the apostles VOTE on documents proposed there. NO pope has a right to repudiate any ecumenical council. But JP II and Benedict XVI did their best to circumnavigate the V II. That's not fake-history. Pope Francis is bringing back many of the Constitutions and Decrees of Vatican II which were 'side-stepped'.
It's a good thing that there is a written history of not only the documents passed at Vatican II but also copies of all the debate and discussion on the floor of the council---that gives 'flesh' to what was passed. | 00 | not toxic |

My daughter is going to Cardinal Carter (TCDSB but I don't think it makes a difference). The majority of the kids in some programs seem to be Asian, so I don't buy the argument about whites. She managed to get in just with her talent and her hard work - long weekends and nights working on her portfolio, with no private lessons. She wakes up at 6:30 every day and spends 1h commuting each way (subway and 2 buses). So you don't need to be wealthy. Teachers, family and friends must recognize potential, encourage, plant some seeds and let the kids choose their way (all we did is register her in a few art camps over the years, take her to the AGO and limit the time spent on gadgets). Schools can provide exposure to the arts and plant the early seeds with little funding. However, we cannot equalize downwards. The talented kids who make it into specialty programs thrive because they are challenged in the right environment. In another setting they would probably lose interest. | 00 | not toxic |

I am sure that John Bowlen is looking to cash out before the full effect of the CTE issue lands on the league. Throw in the effect of the recent political controversy on the NFL and I'd be looking to cash out too. But I doubt there will be much demand for a one third ownership stake with no management or voting rights. Certainly not at 1/3 of the valuation of $2.4 billion. I suspect that once Pat passes the rest of the family will be looking to sell. The will as described is a path to decades long litigation. I suspect most of the kids would rather have a couple hundred million cash than a 8% interest in the Broncos.
