    Anybody score successfully on the GMATS?

    The don't overstudy rule applies for the GMAT. I studied hard and got a 670 and wasn't happy but didn't have time so I took it a few months later and scored a 710. Just get familiar with the format and take it relaxed.

    For those of you who travel for work...

    At work for me, any meal being reimbursed for less than $25 bucks can be done so without a receipt. So ... I'm sure people spend 10 bucks and just book 20 and pocket the extra cash. I would say $25 bucks for dinner is plenty for most people in most cities.

    YA Roth 401k T

    We have our 401k through Fidelity and I think I can change my contribution % whenever I want. I think it's 0-60% of my salary so that was what I was thinking about doing. I was thinking of funding my 6% of my yearly salary early on.

    YA Roth 401k T

    Ah, pre-tax match sounds much nicer than an after-tax match. This is the first year we have a Roth 401k at work so I look forward to taking advantage of that while I'm still young. I'm assuming it doesn't matter if I contribute 6% of my total salary now or spread it out over the year? The...

    YA Roth 401k T

    If a company matches 6% of your income in a Roth 401k, is that match based on your pre-tax income or after-tax income? For example, if you make 100k/yr is the match $6000 or is it based on your after-tax income of 60k which would mean the match is $3600?

    Credit Card Question

    For FICO utilization, does it matter about my utilization for each card or is it based on total credit utilization? I currently have a high credit utilization due to a 0% BT APR for 1 yr and have no balances on any of my other cards.

    xbox 360: only vga can upconvert? Is that even true?

    I have the HD-DVD player for the Xbox 360 and I feel that the upconvert through VGA at 1080p looks better than the 720p/1080i component upconvert. This is through a 42" LCD HDTV 1080p.
