The money in deferred compensation accounts is your own money. No different from a 401(k). I know this because I have two of them and my wife has one. The deferred part is simply in reference to taxes. In a 457 plan the money is being held in trust for you but you are legally entitled to it. This i...

Research taco salad all you want and I expect you will find it is neither Pennsylvania Dutch nor Mexican. But probably arose in the US in Tex-Mex restaurants sometime in the 1960s and started showing up in middle America cookbooks like Betty Crocker by the early 1970s. Szdfan beat you to it. A numb...

Ken, Re-read the abstract. I don't know what abstract you are talking about. I'm referring to the safewise article that Soloist posted, the link of which was contained in the post that you responded to and quoted two posts up. It has no abstract. Try the link in this post , where Josh was replying ...

Oddly enough, having a CB radio in my church would be very much frowned upon... The church I grew up in was heading toward a split at the time they first became popular. The "conservatives" very much frowned upon the "liberals" who got them. There was plenty of talk about the gu...

Peanut butter smear is another name.

In my neighborhood it's called Amish peanut butter.

Finally with every risk, one has to do a cost-benefit analysis to determine whether the costs outweigh the benefits. I'm not sure why you feel compelled to argue so vociferously against people whose life circumstances and worldview produce different results from their analysis. That's another analy...
