On Are You Ready to Buy Your First Home?
@gimlet It is entirely possible for a person with a decent salary, who is careful with money, to buy a house. Maybe not in Orange County or a similarly priced high-end area, but it is possible. For example, my husband and I were able to buy a nice home because it was located in a less popular area. Don't despair, just adjust your variables.

On Are You Ready to Buy Your First Home?
@eraserface I'm going to third that NYT calculator. The more familiar you can make yourself with things like local property tax rates, the more comfortable you'll be when you're ready to go speak with a lender.

On On Leaving Too Much
@Sh Alexander@facebook Why are you so mean? Did you even read the article, or just the angrier of the comments? The author does tip. She tips what society has decided is the acceptable amount. I've read a lot of hate-filled, irrationally angry comments on blogs and new stories and yet yours really stands out.

On It Only Took Me the Whole Terrible Cab Ride to Rationalize Its Expense
This was great! I always love cost-benefit analysis, and as an added bonus I was transported back to my college days and the wonderful silence of my dorm room after an awesome night out.

On WWYD: The Wrong Credit Card Number
I would call to clear it up. It's simply the kind thing to do. Besides, the agency should be aware that their system is faulty for future transactions.
