    Has anyone stayed at a hostel? How much will I save versus staying at a regular hotel?

    Dealman replied to this a year ago

    3 of 3 people found this helpful

    It's definitely cheaper, but it can also be a lot like roughing it. The cost depends on the hostel and location, but they generally run between $15-$50 dollars a night, which is way below the cost of most hotels. However, if you're into fresh sheets and a mint on your pillow, it's not really the way to go. It is a good way to meet people from all over the world, though, because it can be a really communal atmosphere. Check out hostel bookers to find a deal, but do some research about the location of the hostel, amenities, and the like, to make sure about safety.

    Is it wise to get the usual vaccination prior to traveling to India, or are they overrated?

    Dealman replied to this a year ago

    Probably not overrated to be healthy. Malaria and Typhoid fever are very dangerous, even for people in the peak of health. Some may have already had vaccinations for certain illnesses - like polio - so you'll need your complete medical history and see a doctor who specializes in travel medicine. Here's the CDC's page about everything you need to know - http://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/destinations… - but better safe than sorry is a good mantra.

    I need some high end wall art, preferably oil paintings. Are there any merchants you suggest?

    Dealman replied to this a year ago

    The aptly named "Wall Art Store" is a good bet. Type "oil painting" in the search bar to see the selection. Allows you to zoom in to check paintings out. Most ship free too. Also check out Art.com.

    What could bring in extra income to put food on the table for an employee?

    Dealman replied to this a year ago

    Assuming you don't have the time to get a second job (or don't want to), the internet can be a valuable income source. If you sell products from a website, you can get a cut from each sale - called affiliate marketing. Check out services like Linkshare.com, CJ.com, and Pepperjam.com to find companies that will let you market their products and take a cut of the profit. A good thing about affiliate marketing is it works 24-hours a day. A website's up all the time, so you can potentially make money while you're still at work.

    What is the difference between savings and investments?

    Dealman replied to this a year ago

    2 of 2 people found this helpful

    Savings are the money you have on hand that you don't touch. Investments are the money you use to potentially turn a profit via stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and other methods. Ideally, your investments will pay off, which you can then add to a savings account - or you can turn that profit towards investing in something else.

    One other thing to consider: a savings account can be an investment source, as you can earn interest on money you put into a savings account. However, this is a much slower investment source than an investment in stock, which can pay off quickly and with a bigger payout. So...a savings account has low risk, while traditional investments have a higher risk.

    Who has better membership rewards programs – Borders or Barnes & Noble?

    Dealman replied to this a year ago

    Here's the lowdown: Barnes and Noble costs $25 a year, but you get 10% off everything, 20% off every adult hardcover, 40% off bestsellers, and other discounts throughout the year. Border's has a deal where if you spend $150, you get $5 back - but that will expire at the end of the month. The Borders card is free but it can't be used on as many items as B&N. So the B&N card is most worth it if you spend a lot of money on books every year and will save more than the $25 fee.

    Is there a coupon I can print to save on my H&R Block tax prep office visit?

    Dealman replied to this 2 years ago

    All of the coupons on this site are for online tax prep (I've attached one of those). For an in-office visit go directly to http://www.hrblock.com/ and check out the coupon banner in the upper right. Often these deals are for people who have a specific type of membership (like the NEA). Search for "printable hr block coupon" to find others. Many have a short window for the expiration date.

    Does anyone have a Credit Card that gives them great rewards?

    Dealman replied to this 2 years ago

    It sort of depends what you use the card for. If you travel a lot, or spend a lot on entertainment or gas, you'll want to get a corresponding reward card on the stuff you purchase the most. For a general reward card with a good point payout, try the Chase Freedom card (attached). So long as you're up-to-date with payments, it's a solid rebate card. No annual fee (so your rewards points won't get absorbed by the card itself), get 5% back on popular purchases, up to 20% back on online purchases, and 1% for every other dollar spent.

    I want to buy Disney stock for my niece's birthday. Where can I find a good price on it?

    Dealman replied to this 2 years ago

    One Share is fairly awesome. You can get stocks framed and they've currently got a deal for $10 off Disney stock, so there you go.

    Can anybody tell me what's the best online tax prep service?

    Dealman replied to this 2 years ago

    Most have heard of Turbo Tax - that's because it's the best & easiest to use. However, it's also a bit more expensive. There's a current deal for H&R block to get 15% off online Basic, Deluxe, or Premium, so I'd say go with that because it does the same stuff as Turbo Tax.
