Believe it or not, the process of planning a vacation can be an enjoyable one. Even the part where you determine how to pay for it.

You read that right. Just figuring out how to pull off your next getaway gives you a sense of relief and control that makes the actual trip all the more fun. Here are five steps to making it happen:

Gullible Americans

Dear Dave,

My wife received $100 from her parents for her birthday. When I asked what she planned to do with it, she said she was going to add it to her spending money. I think she should put it toward us paying off debt, but I bit my tongue and didn’t say anything. We’re in pretty good shape financially, so should I mention it or just let it go?

Charles

Dear Charles,

Dear Dave,

My wife and I are in our early 70s, and we’re retired. We have about $136,000 in corporate bonds and $200,000 in mutual funds. Considering our age, should we move the investments into a CD?

Dear Kurt,

There’s always a chance you’ll lose money if you leave it in mutual funds and bonds. That’s the nature of the market. But there’s another kind of risk based on what you’re proposing, and that’s risk of value due to inflation.

Expanding your culinary horizons doesn’t have to be limited to dinnertime. In fact, snacks are a perfect chance to experiment with unfamiliar flavors, whether they are completely new or a variation of a treat you already enjoy.

For recent grads and young professionals, first job interviews are a crash course in interpersonal skills, thinking on ones feet and the danger of homonyms. To ease the learning curve a bit, use these tips to take smart notes during your job interview, answer questions intelligently, schedule the second (or third) interview and, of course, land your perfect job.

Op-Ed: The Power of Flight 

As a lifelong pilot and the first sitting member of Congress to go into space, I know as well as anyone how important aviation is for our society and our future.  I spent many years with the Navy flying the Martin P5M surveillance aircraft, and then with the Utah Air National Guard flying the KC-97L Stratofreighter and a KC-135A Stratotanker. Now I fly my 1948 Ryan Navion.
