    USA - Not Cities

    All you'd have to do is go to a gun range, rent a gun, and buy some ammo. Then you just go out to the range and shoot away. It can be indoor or outdoor depending on what you find.

    Battlefield V

    If you ignore the naval battle for a moment. The Japanese officers disagreed on whether they'd be able to keep Midway resupplied even if they were able to take the island during the landings. The landing force was a mix of army and naval infantry that had never trained together. Plus the island...

    Battlefield V

    That would have been entirely unlikely even if they got lucky and won at Midway. Japan had no capability of maintaining a supply chain to support an invasion of the mainland.

    Eh, it depends entirely on location. Looking at homes listed for weeks and then a month long negotiation process isn't completely unheard of in my area. I was able to sell my own within 4 days, but there was barely any other comparable inventory in January.

    I don't believe they're doing new franchises at the moment. You'd have to buy an existing franchise or just wait until they decide to expand via franchising again.

    All Inclusive for Couple in Punta Cana

    I think the AMResorts brands are pretty solid choices. I think you'd want to go with Breathless, Secrets, or Zoetry for more adult oriented. From what I've read they typically have the same quality at all of their various resorts. I went to Secrets the Vine with my wife in Cancun and the food...

    The rule is that it must be your primary residence for 2 out of the last 5 years. The gain is only tax free up to $500,000 for married filing joint. So in four years he'll lose the exemption. He'll have a mix of ordinary income and capital gains if he sells the rental after that. Once you start...

    Best Credit Card with Cash Back Rewards

    I think Chase rewards cards are hard to beat at the moment. You need a Freedom, Freedom Unlimited, and a Sapphire Preferred to really max points out though. Both of the Freedom versions typically give $150 back on $500 spent in the first three months. The Sapphire Preferred was $500 back on $4k...

    Your filter is going to catch all of that, but it seems pretty pointless since it's all going to suck into the filter at some point anyway. Your best option would be to just vacuum everything that's sitting under your floor registers and then not worry about it. Duct cleaning is pretty...

    I've been playing this lately. It's pretty fun, but seems that the RNG for clubs and balls really forces you into spending money on the higher tours. It's very polished though. I think I'll burn out before the grind of the higher tours. The frequent tournaments keep it interesting for now...

    The only mileage that's going away would be for unreimbursed employee expenses on schedule A. I can't remember if medical or charitable mileage stays. If your business is a pass through or on schedule c you'll still be able to deduct it. Plus there will be 100% depreciation next year for sure...

    Tax Reform and You

    It's a good idea to make your January mortgage payments in December if you'll be itemizing this year and think that you won't want to next year with the new standard deduction. Prepaying state and local taxes will also be beneficial for the same reason if it doesn't bump you into AMT for 2017.

    In those two scenarios there's no guarantee that you'll see a return. The premise is that you already have available cash for a guaranteed return. I agree that you're better off in the market, but we have various people in this thread that are sitting on cash if you read back. I don't think...

    With the new tax law it is possible to make money if you live in a state with income tax. Here's a rough 3% people could possibly get if they're sitting on cash anyway. This also hinges on the taxpayer already being able to itemize deductions for 2017 without adding this extra state income tax...

    I was stuck with American Funds through my 401(k) for my first few years. Luckily the plan changed a bit and we were able to buy stocks of our own choosing. I switched everything over to VTI about a year ago and I'm loving life. The returns are amazing without American Funds stealing your money.

    Best Credit Card with Cash Back Rewards

    The store card would still function like a credit card. I don't have one but I'd guess you can't use a credit card to pay your Amazon store card bill. You could just have a circle of debt if you were able to pay credit cards with credit cards.

    Best Credit Card with Cash Back Rewards

    I recently activated a 5/3 Trio Rewards Master card with $250 cash back on $500 spent in three months. It looks like it's a targeted mailer, but well worth it if they send you one. I couldn't pass it up when I saw it. I'll pay the card off with my bonus and then add it to the CC graveyard in my...
