I just wanted to buy a Monster and this one person has been at the counter for 15 minutes! What the hell is going on?! I should have picked the other line.

Haha, all coupons were in my cvs membership card so no manual scanning

Three things:

1) good job
2) surprised you were allowed to use a percentage and dollar discount
3) I usually peg cvs markup at 100%, so you saved money, but not as much as they want you to believe

I have been looking at the curriculums for Harvard Business School's Master of Business Administration and Harvard Extension School's Master's in Management. They both have the same requirements, generally speaking, including a field immersion course that serves as a capstone in the Master's in Management, which is fairly new. If I am not able to gain admission to Harvard Business School, but wanted a similar educational experience to become a consultant, should I attend Harvard Extension?

I have a lot of student debt from law school. I’ve refinanced a couple of times and received the best fixed rate available, but I’ve seen others refinance with a variable rate which of course is lower. I’ve read some other comments of people refinancing at a super low variable rate....isn’t this risky? Of course I am afraid of going variable and then the interest rates going up a lot. Am I missing something?
