Tips for online buying

Stack coupons.  If you're shopping on Black Friday or Cyber Monday, there are bound to be various coupons you can use ― many of which are stackable. "These might not show up until Cyber Monday, but they're really valuable for making sure you're able to grab serious price lows," Ramhold said. Use coupon-tracking and cash back tools such as Honey, Wikibuy and Rakuten to find them.

Re: Mirrorless Lexus on sale in Japan

I looked at the photos and it does make some sense.  Hmm.  Reduced window noise and improved visibility.  It's just if the tech goes bad... what then.  I also like folding mirrors because I have then autofold when I lock it.  That way I can tell immediately if it's locked or not.

Congress Has a Dangerous Idea for Your 401(k)

401k savings are a great way to save for retirement.   However...

Watch out for risky fund options: bad annuities and less fiduciary responsibilities as companies buy republicans to add these into 401k savings.
