Howevr, what would you say about a mortgage in the current crisis? As house prices are falling, does it make sense to pay more or stay put? I know housing market will recover in the future, but what about now? http://moneygirl.quickanddirtytips.com/good-debt-versus-bad-debt.aspx?commentid=15984#Comments http://moneygirl.quickanddirtytips.com/good-debt-versus-bad-debt.aspx?commentid=15984#Comments Tue, 03 Mar 2009 13:57:26 GMT Matt money Question about dept: How does inflation impact dept? A simple model: If I have a savings account, I take the interest minus inflation rate and that is the actual rate of return for my savings. SO, if I have a credit card with intrest of 10% and inflation is 4% what is my actual rate of return, or dept in the case?

Good reason to avoid using "rule of thumb" in the future. Thanks for sharing the origin of the term. http://moneygirl.quickanddirtytips.com/good-debt-versus-bad-debt.aspx?commentid=1147#Comments http://moneygirl.quickanddirtytips.com/good-debt-versus-bad-debt.aspx?commentid=1147#Comments Mon, 01 Jan 2007 02:28:52 GMT Robert Evans money I did a quick Lexis search for legal references on "rule of thumb" inrelation to wife beating. I didn't have time for a really refined searchbut below are short relevant excerpts.n86 The husband's right to discipline his wife has a longhistory at commonlaw, related to the concept of wives aschattel. For a review of the changing scope of thedisciplinary prerogative at common law, see UNITED STATESCOMM'N ON CIVIL RIGHTS, UNDER THE RULE OF THUMB: BATTEREDWOMEN AND THE ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE 14, 21 (1982), supranote 41, at 1-3; Eppler, supra note 13, at 791-93; Note,supra note 16, at 705. 34 Emory L.J. 855, *874 Historically, wife beating has been an acceptablepractice both socially and legally. The right of a husbandto physically chastise his wife was inherited from theBritish Common Law tradition which considered married peopleto be one person, specifically the husband, n91 and, whichgave the husband who beat his wife immunity fromprosecution. In Bradley v. State, n92 aMississippi court articulated and adopted this form ofimmunity, holding that a husband should be able tomoderately chastise his wife without subjecting himselfto vexatious prosecution for assault and battery. Moderatechastisement was measured by the " rule of thumb" whichallowed a husband to beat his wife with a stick no thickerthan his thumb. n93 The societal basis for this legalacceptance of wife beating may be seen in the results of asurvey conducted for [*875] the National Commission onthe Causes and Prevention ofViolence, which found thattwenty-five percent of college educated men interviewed feltthat physical chastisement of a spouse was acceptable insome situations. n94 106 Harv. L. Rev. 1501, *1502 II. Historical Underpinnings of Wife AbuseWhen you see your wife commit an offense, don't rush ather with insults and violent blows . . . . Scold hersharply, bully and terrify her. And if this still doesn'twork . . . take up a stick and beat her soundly, for it isbetter to punish the body and correct the soul than todamage the soul and spare the body . . . . Then readilybeat her, not in rage but out of charity and concern for hersoul, so that the beating will redound to your merit andher good. n4 106 Harv. L. Rev. 1501, *1501 Domestic violence is not a new problem. History isreplete with reports of domestic abuse, n11 and despite thecommunity-wide repercussions of domestic violence, anadequate legal response has long been lacking. In fact,United States law condoned wife abuse and protected theright of men to beat their wives through the midnineteenthcentury. n12 In the late 1800s, shifting public attitudesprompted some states to eliminate explicit legal protectionfor batterers, and several instituted a range of punishmentsfor abusive husbands. n13 Most early reform efforts,however, focused primarily on maintaining the familystructure and failed http://moneygirl.quickanddirtytips.com/good-debt-versus-bad-debt.aspx?commentid=1143#Comments http://moneygirl.quickanddirtytips.com/good-debt-versus-bad-debt.aspx?commentid=1143#Comments Sun, 31 Dec 2006 10:40:42 GMT Bryan Person money Great first podcast, Money Girl!
