They anticipate that within a few weeks of joining the majority of people who made a resolution to get in shape will abandon their resolution...

The person you name has no rights to the money until you die, so you can spend it all or change the beneficiary whenever you want. A payable on death account is created when you make an agreement with your financial institution – usually your bank. The bank has...

One great choice is the Dutch Iris, which is known for its gorgeous flowers, straight stems and...

We talk about "style and functionality" a lot and it's mainly because these two factors are really important to us in anything we design – for our own home or someone else's! For us, we can't have one without the other. Our primary goal is to design spaces that are meant to be lived in and enjoyed, aesthetically, playfully and usefully! So yes, style and functionality are some of our top considerations for all projects big and small ... especially this time of year, when we're looking to give ou...

Why is a Roth IRA desirable for some people? Here are the key benefits: • Tax-free withdrawals - You put in after-tax dollars to a Roth IRA, so you can withdraw your contributions a...
