The AR-15 is one of my top three favorite guns to shoot, but lately it seems that the gun and it's ammunition have gone through the roof. A friend called me from Dallas last Friday, he asked me if I still wanted an AR-15. I told him "yes but I'm not about to pay these absurd prices everyone is asking for AR's now, besides I'm in radio I can't afford it." AR-15's are selling for as low as 1,100 to 3,500 dollars, it's simple low supply and high demand.

The NRA show travels to different cities every year, this year it will be held at the George R. Brown Convention Center in downtown Houston, promising over eight acres of guns and gear.

As I did my research I was surprised to find so many 'classics' on the list as were many books that have recently been made into movies.

I'm on the fence with technology sometimes; it can be great and time saving but it can also put people out of jobs. Take for example this new idea that Wal-Mart is trying in about 200 of it's more than 4000 stores. It's called Scan & Go and it allows you to use your iPhone to scan your purchases as you go and simply pay when you leave. However, I have a feeling that it will eliminate peoples jobs too.

When it comes to marriage, or any type of long term relationship, money can be the root of some pretty jacked up arguments as far as managing your finances together.
