Looks like we'll automatically get a replacement Citi Visa card for Costco?  That'll make it painless.  Hopefully, same benefits and rebates? >>> The retailer expects the existing portfolio to be sold, spokesman Bob Nelson said. When that happens, existing Costco members will have their new...

Is that a bath tub next to the kitchen counter?  If so, it would be a no-no since Japanese don't wash themselves inside the tub. 

Hey, we had a potential 3 or 4 first-rounders on defense this year and we still sucked.  They're all gone now.  I already know this coming football season will be a long one, especially if the Seahawks go kaput from here.  Thank God there's Men's Crew and Women's volleyball. :P

Sorry if there's been other threads like this but I don't read this section much since we don't go out that often. But can anyone recommend a casual dining place where it is kid friendly?  Where the adults can talk and the kids can have fun (Not necessarily Chuckie Cheese kind of fun) without a...

Where do we start with this lady?  :P $300,000 a month for intercontinental private-jet travel >>> Take Southwest Air to save money. $160,000 a month for vacation rentals >>> Try camping with tents or rent a cheap cabin. and $60,000 a month for office space and professional staff. >>>...

Wow, none of us believed things were 100% fair but if there's really a point system like this, that is something else. 

This is the Irvinehusky recommended "minimum" guideline.  :P  This is assuming your income is at least $100K.  If less, the multiple has to be higher.  If you make a mil a year then obviously you can lower the multiple. 55 - 20x 60 - 25x 65 - 30x Disclaimer:  Do as I say, not what I'm...

Very true.  That's why I find these things about "millionaires" useless since a millionaire isn't what it used to be.  Back in the 60's and maybe even in the 70's when someone mentioned a millionaire it really meant someone with a lot of money.  Especially now that young people can earn six...

I would imagine Irvine (especially in some SHADY areas) has its fair share but I would guess a good chunk of the Orange County millionaires live south of here near the ocean. 

Early on, I realized my financial sense of timing was not very good so I lost a good deal of money on options.  Yes, I bought one of the option courses from one of the guys that used to come out on the financial news a lot.  With regular stocks (no shorting, etc.), even if my timing is off, if...

Yup, might help.  :P

Unfortunately, I think you (and I) are in the minority in this area (city)?  I think most parents here whose kids' birthdays are after 9/1 or whatever would be arguing to get in earlier, like they were able to before.  Delay Ivy league by one year, when Suzy next door is already in, but my...

Yes, we did that for all of our kids.  In our case, WA state made it easier since the birthday cutoff was earlier than in CA.  I think it was 8/31 or something like that.  All of our kids were born after 8/31 so if we wanted to enroll them in Kindergarten, we would have had to make them take a...

Saw one dash across the street yesterday in the early afternoon on Alton, near Costco.  Maybe a Costco member?  :P  Saw it dash across heavy traffic to the other side in front of me but lost track of it behind some cars so I was hoping it made it.  But then it came dashing back right in front...

USCTrojanCPA and IrvineRealtor are our two resident agents, who are both highly recommended by many and I believe will work with you with sharing the rebate from the builder, but please confirm with them.  You can't go wrong with them.

This is so confusing.  I thought SoCal was thinking of moving back to Irvine.  :P

Usually, these kinds of stories are good for a few chuckles but unfortunately in this lady's case and habits, $36 mil will not last her too long.  She's too out of touch with reality that she'll never be happy...even if she gets the billion dollar check like my original post.  Sad.

Yes, absolutely.  100% biased. :P But more of a NE hater from long ago.  Seahawks have only been decent the past few year only.

So, does anyone think Brady or Belichick will be suspended before the Super Bowl?  Or, will they lose a draft choice or something similar after the SB? Anyone believe Brady or Belichick? Who will be tossed first?  Brady, Belichick, Sherman or Lynch? Whodunit?  I think Brady or Belichick (or...

Thank you for the info.  It doesn't sound like Intuit learned enough of a lesson though by just giving back rebates for Premier or above this year.  They didn't say from next year Deluxe will include those things again. If not, they should rename the Deluxe version to the "Not-so-Deluxe"...
