Re: Qualification Translations

Re: How often did you change the oil in your car in the UK?

I go for the $30 changes which throws in a free car wash and 20-point inspection as well.

Re: 401K's, IRA's, 403B's, KGB's, VC's, Heebeegeebee's.

Thanks for the info - thats really helpful. So an IRA doesnt have any company matching but it can be tax deductible (standard IRA).

On the topic: I'm in my early twenties and am feeling pressure to sign up for this 401K thingy- is that normal? Luckily, I'm due a talk about fidelity (?) financing at work soon.

Actually, I think it may be legal to have 6 or more of the 'educational devices' as long as they dont look like a certain part of the male anatomy. Dont quote me when in jail though.. :P

Re: XE.com: wiring money using BACS or CHAPS?

So I shouldnt have to include the fee if I used the BACS sort-code?

Thanks :)
