Comment on: 'Airlines layering fees on top of fees'

Comment on: Taxes%20need%20to%20be%20raised%20in%20Massachusetts
Could we please have a progressive income tax? I would argue that the sales tax should be kept at 5% (or raised to 10%)--there is actual value in having the sales tax be a nice round number. I can cal more »

Forum Post: Best way to save money on a wedding
Elope! We did and have never regretted it. We had family and a few close friends there. We bought flowers at a local market, and my dress off the rack. Total budget under $500 (including a celebratory more »
