Some financial terms are so similar that they end up being used interchangeably. But that doesn’t mean they’re the exact same thing. One especially common mix-up: the difference between cosigners and guarantors, who are both people who can help you get a loan if your individual financial history isn’t strong enough.

Stuffing has two primary forms: bread casserole and damp bread. This is why the add-ins—herbs, alliums, etc.—are so important. And while I love herby, oniony stuffing, I’m going to suggest you add another ingredient that is neither vegetable nor herb. I’m going to suggest you add smoked turkey.

I’m not that big into game streaming services, because I’m cheap, but I’ve noticed a number of deals for Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass subscription floating around the web (and real world) lately. And after doing a little sleuthing, I discovered this fact: People have all sorts of crazy ways to get many months of an Xbox…

As smartphone cameras get more sophisticated, they make it easier for the average user to create effects that would normally require high-end equipment and technical skill to achieve. The Pixel 4's astrophotography mode, for instance, is capable of taking photos of the night sky with minimal effort, but it has also…

Mary Cain is not the first or the last person to be told she has to be thinner to be a better athlete, but her powerful story about quitting Nike’s running team shows just how harmful this idea can be. She says she was the “fastest girl in America” before she switched coaches and found herself told over and over to…

Overbooked flights are back, baby! In spring 2017, after a man was physically dragged off an overbooked United flight and the United CEO blamed the man, airlines dramatically improved at only selling the number of seats they actually have on the plane. By mid-2018, there were only a sixth as many “bumped” passengers…

When presidential candidate Sen. Kamala Harris introduced a bill yesterday that would lengthen the school day by three hours—to better align with the traditional work day—it raised a bigger question: Does the school day need to be longer or should the work day be shorter?

If you’re unsure whether you’re finding the absolute best deal for a flight—and want to better understand all of your options—Google Flights just rolled out a new update that’ll make finding cheap airfare a little easier.

Remember me? I asked for your help a few weeks ago looking for sneaker recommendations for walking in Disney World. So many people had wonderful suggestions, and a few people felt the need to call me nasty names for wanting new shoes shortly before a trip. But the real MVPs of the Buy Committee comment section were…

Custom search engines are one of the coolest features of any modern browser. With just a few keystrokes, you can search Wikipedia right from your address bar, do a custom Google search for Lifehacker articles, or even get driving directions to a specific location.

I used to make the three-hour drive home from college on the weekends in an impractical uniform: Jeans, a hoodie, and maybe a winter hat if there was snow on the ground already. When I arrived, my father always scolded me for not being prepared. “Where’s your coat?” he would demand. “You need a coat. What if you break…

Nobody wants to think about their wallet being stolen—but if it is, you’ll want to give the potential thief as little as possible to steal.

The flavor profile of the Thanksgiving meal hasn’t changed much over the years, but that doesn’t stop the endless parade of wine pairing guides that appear each November. I don’t know why we’re still talking about this, as I solved this riddle last year—the only wine you need for Thanksgiving is Champagne (and maybe a…

If you’re hooked on smooth, caffeine-rich cold brew coffee, you can save a lot of money by making it at home, and KitchenAid’s brewer is the nicest looking option we’ve seen.

“Wow, you’re so hairy,” the boy standing to my daughter’s left said. He gazed in awe at her rounded seven-year-old arm, brown from the summer sun, and the silky, dark hair encircling it. It was the first day of second grade and the first time someone remarked about my daughter’s body hair. But I had been waiting for…

I like to think I’m pretty decent with Excel. I know my way around a pivot table, I love automating anything and everything with formulas and conditional formatting, and I am as skilled with a vlookup as the awesome new xlookup. Excel macros, however, are an entirely new ball game, and I only wish I could do what…

My second-worst experience thinking about insects in my eyes was a real-life encounter, when I jogged face-first into a cloud of gnats while running on a trail. I couldn’t shake the feeling that there was something still in my eye, and hours later I finally extracted a dead(?) gnat from the inner reaches of my eyelid…

They say it’s all about who you know, but how do you get to know the right people?

During a typical job interview, you can usually expect to answer familiar questions like “What are your strengths?” or “Why exactly do you want to work here?” Occasionally, you might also field not-so-legal questions from a hiring manager, the kind that involves your personal business or family plans, for instance.…

If you’re ever stuck for ideas or advice, and you feel like you can’t find a mentor, here’s how to become your own mentor: Look at everyone else who’s doing a similar thing. Some successful ones, and some failing ones. Find everything they could be doing better. And then don’t tell them. Tell yourself.

When it’s time to install a new version of macOS or download a new update, nearly everyone turns to the Mac App Store to start the process. While the App Store makes OS installations easy and relatively painless, it doesn’t always work—and it might be time to turn to Terminal (and a little creativity) instead.

When I was trying to learn Spanish, everybody told me to listen to Radio Ambulante. It’s a Spanish-language NPR show that aims to bring the depth of longform journalism to the world of podcasts. And it’s great—but I could never quite catch what everyone was saying.
