  When Should We Kick Our Kids Off Our Car Insurance?

  My question is on adult children and car insurance: I need to figure out if I should put my adult son on our insurance policy. We've all had accidents (so no judgment here), but he just hit a deer, got a speeding ticket, and also got into an accident with our car not long ago. If we get him his insurance, he will be paying about $3,100 per year (he just got a job that pays about $500 per week). Are we better off putting him on our policy and have him pay us, or should he get his own policy?

  My 2 Cents on 50 Cent: Are You Making the Same Mistakes as the Rapper?

  So many celebrities make millions of dollars, and then end up in bankruptcy. If 50 Cent can't make it, how can someone like me make it with so much less money?
