ST Quiz: Who is the Highest Grossing actor of alltime? - Strongbad Oct 27, 10:17 7
- Harrison Ford? -- nm - poxie Oct 27, 10:17
- samuel l jackson -- nm - Bloger Blore Oct 27, 10:17 5
  - Correct. ST is too smart. -- nm - Strongbad Oct 27, 10:18 4
    - It's probably debatable though. I bet it includes all the Marvel movie cameos, etc, as well as the obvious supporting roles in Jurassic Park, Patriot - Bloger Blore Oct 27, 10:21 3
      - not Star Wars though. Those are excluded. -- nm - TFox Oct 27, 10:22 2
        
        Huh? He wasn't in any of the only three Star Wars movies ever made. -- nm - Bloger Blore Oct 27, 10:25 1

color of money chat q: should they take money out of their retirement account to pay down high-interest credit card debt? - poxie Oct 27, 10:12 12
- Depending on your tax bracket you're looking at paying in the neighborhood of 40% in taxes and penalties on the amount in order to pay off the debt. - pmb Oct 27, 10:26
- If it's a one time withdrawal and you behave responsibly with the CC from then on, I would. - TWuG Oct 27, 10:17 3
  - and pay the tax penalty on withdrawal? -- nm - loosilu Oct 27, 10:20 2
    - On $2k I doubt it's high enough to offset the gains you'd make in paying down the CC debt. -- nm - TWuG Oct 27, 10:46 1
      - I think it almost certainly is, actually. -- nm - loosilu Oct 27, 10:48
- no. -- nm - loosilu Oct 27, 10:16
- Ask Paul Newman to help you -- nm - Capstern Oct 27, 10:15
- get a bank loan with a low interest rate to pay of the CC debt. Then cut up your cards -- nm - Evil Beaker Oct 27, 10:14
- If you really want to pay off $2k of CC debt, that's just a year of belt-tightening for most people. - TFox Oct 27, 10:14 1
  - seriously -- nm - poxie Oct 27, 10:14
- no -- nm - psilotum Oct 27, 10:13 1
  - this -- nm - 4,198,574,430 Oct 27, 10:15

      - I am impressed that the seemingly cool and sane Albert and Sophie are abiding this madness so well. - TFox Oct 27, 10:20 1
