My daughter is in third grade and she just got her own phone. We were unsure at first but she is beginning to get pretty involved in extra curricular activities and we wanted to be sure she could reach us if she needed to. It also has a gps locator that alerts us when she leaves/arrives to school or home. It has very limited access to anything other than her calling one of us. I am with her most of the time but I just feel better knowing she can reach us in an emergency when we aren’t with her.

Third grade isn’t necessarily too young for cell phones, especially considering a lot of families no longer have land lines.

Third grade is too young for SMARTphones, though. And unfortunately we have some students in second grade with those...

Since about the age of 4 or 5 I’ve dreamed of being a business owner/entrepreneur. I’m sales minded, think pig picture vs detailed and I’m a people person. I often lose sight that staying long term and making partner would get me to that goal I’ve had my whole life. Any tips on how to stay motivated? Is my thinking in line? Any advice?

Is that within the new bands? Or is it because of no consulting experience?

Also, how is the market for consulting in capital projects? M seems to be hiring heavily for Capital Excellence.

Legent is tasty! This bourbon is finished in red wine and sherry casks, and blended by Suntory Master Blender Shinji Fukuyo - who has experience with truly legendary distilleries Hakushu and Yamazaki. A bourbon with noticeable fruit, caramel, and vanilla elements — and a very good bourbon for $40 at Total Wine. I’d rate it 4 out of 5 stars.

How do you guys(those staying with parents at home) claim HRA for tax saving?

I joined Deloitte there, it's not allowed to put "relative" as your landlord and claim HRA even though you make rent agreement.

So I guess, my amount around ~1,80,000Rs of HRA won't be calculated automatically and TDS will happen.

I can, I believe, claim this while filing my IT Returns next year.

So question here is - what all evidence do I need to collate?

Receipts;? even Agreement is needed? What else?

My dad is turning 60 in January, and it popped into my head that I could get him a bottle of champagne from the year he was born (1963). But my research shows that Moët & Chandon's Dom Pérignon wasn't produced in 1963.

Can any wine or champagne enthusiasts recommend a good 1963 vintage, or was that an off year for champagnes? And if that's the case, have any other recommendable 1963 vintage wines?

I’m thinking about buying my first house in the next couple of years. I know it doesn’t really seem like the best time to buy a house, but I have heard that there are some programs to help teachers buy houses. Does anyone here have any experience with anything like that? I’m kind of clueless about it all, so please explain it to me like I’m 5. Thanks!!
