    What I meant was, that's what he used to say on the show during the race across Alaska (several teams vying for the win) when something looked dangerous. "That looks sketchy", he would say, when something looked dangerous. I figured you would know that saying. I have all the respect in the...

    So, I'm 3 miles into my 4 mile walk in 83 degree, 84% humidity. Sweating like a pig, and I come upon my 90 year old neighbor cutting up a tree that's in his path... I don't think I will age that well.

    I lucked out in '75. I was 15 and my brother hired me to work the summer on his concrete crew (let the jokes begin...(I can't bench press 425, lol)). He paid me $4.25/hr and I was on cloud nine making 2X the minimum wage.

"Obamacare" prices your premiums, deductibles, and max out-of-pocket based...

    Pester, Very good points. I agree that everyone has to assess their risk, income and savings to make good choices. In my situation, the loan info was in reference to being retired, no earned income, simply using saved monies to pay cash or to finance a truck and let the savings earn interest. In...
