What Have I Done? Baby Boomers Reveal Their Deepest Financial Regrets

Image
Over 50, underfunded, and ill-prepared for retirement. Unfortunately, that’s an all-too-common scenario for the Baby Boomer generation – those born between 1946 and 1964 -- many of whom are still smarting from the economic downturn and are now looking back at their earlier financial choices with regret. Should they have bought that house at the height of the housing bubble? Should they have taken out that student loan? Should they have pursued a higher-paying career field? But doubts like these are just part of the new reality for today’s Boomers, says Stan Hinden, author of “How to Retire Happy and a widely published columnist on retirement issues.I think Boomers are somewhat disappointed in the way things have turned out in recent years he says and I think they have a right to feel that something unfair has taken place. You can’t any longer buy a CD or invest in a money market fund and get any kind of respectable return, because interest rates are so low and have been so low and will...

Guy Creates Video Game to Help Him Pop the Question

Image
It’s the stuff that gamer dreams are made of. Boy meets girl.Girl loves to play video games as much as he does. They become friends, sharing their passion for gaming and stories of childhoods spent with joysticks in hand. Boy eventually gets girl. Two and a half years later, he pops the question, gamer style, by designing a video game to propose to his girlfriend and catching her tear-jerking reaction on video. The most challenging part of building the game was keeping it a secret Robert Fink, 24, a 3D artist from Portland, Oregon, tells Yahoo Shine, adding that he had been telling his girlfriend, Angel White, 24, that he was working late at the office, to cover for the fact that he was actually at a friend’s house designing the game. All told, the project took five months to create from start to finish. When it came time to execute on the plan, Fink, who works at SuperGenius, an art and animation support studio for video game developers that's based in Oregon City, Oregon, asked W...

McDonald's Has To Get Rid Of 10 Million Pounds Of Mighty Wings

Image
McDonald's has 10 million pounds of Mighty Wings it needs to sell soon. The wings, which represent 20% of the chicken wings produced for a promotion, are in frozen storage writes Julie Jargon at The Wall Street Journal. McDonald's was unable to sell enough according to Jargon. Earlier this year, CEO Don Thompson said that the chicken wings aren't the smash success it had hoped for. While Mighty Wings apparently met internal targets, the item "was not strong enough to offset" weak sales trends, Thompson said on a conference call. Here are some of the reasons they flopped.     Price:  In McDonald's terms, Mighty Wings are a premium product. The wings come in packs of three for $3.69, five for $5.59, and 10 for $9.69. Thompson said the prices, which are similar to Buffalo Wild Wings, were  not the most competitive.Spice:  Thompson said the wings were too spicy for many customers' tastes.     Appearance:  The Mighty Wings looked too much li...

Hyundai ranks as most fuel-efficient U.S. automaker for 2013 — but the EPA won’t say so

Image
In an industry that fights for every last sale, claiming the title for being the most fuel-efficient automaker in the country has traditionally been a huge win. Even in times like these when gas prices have eased, shoppers often compare mileages as much as horsepower, and when gas prices soar — as they inevitably will — having that message at the ready gets more tire-kickers into dealerships.In the United States, it's a federal report that typically determines which automaker may call itself the most fuel-efficient. Yet this year, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency went out of its way to deny that accolade to the automaker with the highest average efficiency from vehicles it sold in the 2013 model year: Hyundai. The South Korean automaker has itself partly to blame: After touting its fuel efficiency for years, the company admitted in November 2012 that it had incorrectly measured the fuel economy of 900,000 Hyundais and Kias, forcing it to write down the MPG val...

Women Study Better According to the research, conducted at the University of Georgia, women are better students than men. This is mainly due to the fact that girls find it easier to expand the boundaries of their thinking, and their mind is more flexible and loyal to the unknown. In addition, women are more attentive and organized in terms of their homework. By the way, women are 34% more likely to complete their degree at the Institute, which is not the case with men, who are even likely to quit studying during the final year at the university.   2. Women Are Smarter According to the IQ-tests conducted by the research institutes in Australia, Britain, the U.S. and Western Europe, the average intelligence of women is much higher than that of men.

Technology, Time and Being

Image
In America at least, we are still in the ‘new toy’ phase of high technology. Every new gadget that comes out receives oohs and aahs in the media, with the subtext, ‘aren’t we the most amazing people for inventing all these wonderful things!’Multi-tasking can be defined as making a virtue out of doing three or four things at the same time without paying attention to any of them. The very machines that are supposed to free people from slavery to busyness are driving them to mindlessness. We need a basic reorientation in the relationship to our machines.For any mature adult, high technology is, by itself, quite boring. Disconnected from the deeper aspects of life, technology for technology’s sake is like talking just to talkan empty enterprise. The  interesting question has to do with how we integrate the emerging technologies into our lives.Underlying that issue is the age-old question of what it means to be a human being. Ironically, as technology sweeps everything before it, its ra...
