Stuff it

Almost no air traveler checks their luggage anymore, but just how do you jam all your stuff into a carry-on bag?

I cast you out! A 23-year-old medical student has so far staved off foreclosure of her parents’ Southern California home.

The young woman has confounded the lender’s attorneys by teaching herself the law — and by holding meetings with opposing counsel at which she recites the lines spoken by the priests in “The Exorcist.”

White-collar crime: Arguments about money can lead to martial strife and even divorce. That’s why experts say a couple should designate one of them as the family’s chief financial officer, who then oversees all money matters.

Sounds like a plan — at least until the CFO cooks the books, absconds with company money and flees to the Bahamas.
