Time to get all mushy

I lurked for awhile before joining way back. Remember 'wounded monitor children'? Yeah, HotDeals sucked me into joining. I made Golden Member recently, and I look forward to becoming a Lifer so I can be cool like you guys.

What do you do during a long flight?

Bonine and Dramamine, they are both effective against motion sickness. If the flight is 11 hours and you're that worried, then I suggest you get hold of Ambien or valium. I don't get any kind of motion sickness, but couple of friends swear by it. Ambien is effective for 7 to 8 hours, and you...

What do you do during a long flight?

I fly long distance flights frequently. Usually 4+ roundtrip transpacific flights per year, with additional legs once I get to Asia. We're talking 14+ hours each route, so 3+ hours would be considered a short flight for me. Even LAX to JFK takes longer than 3 hours. I'm usually asleep...

I think you will owe tax if you are single and claim 2 allowances. My ex used to owe money by claiming 2, but when she adjusted it to 1, she barely ended up getting refund.

Claiming zero allowances on W4 form

Yes, you can claim zero allowance. When I was much younger, I used to do this to maximize my returns (I wasn't disciplined enough to save back then). You should end up with sizable returns, but as others will tell you, you are giving Uncle Sam an interest-free loan. However, for compulsive...
