Is it cheaper to buy designer things in China compared to a city like London?
Q. I am planning on buying cosmetics from brand names like YSL or Dior, but is it actually going to be cheaper to buy (real) cosmetics there than it would be in London? I want to buy real cosmetics, NOT fakes. Lip-gloss, eyeliner, that kind of stuff.

Is there a cheaper way to plaster my son's hand print than buying a bunch of kits?
Q. I wanted to do one of those hand print plasters for my son's hand or foot for part of the family's Christmas gift this year. I saw some kits at Wal-Mart that are like $8 each and it comes with the plaster, the mold and the stand to display it. I was wondering since I need to do like 5-6 of these if there is a cheaper way to go about it or if those kits would be the best way.

A. Get a small tin (like a pie tin) for like a buck at the dollar store. Go to your local hardware store and get their smallest batch of plaster of paris. Its simple to make (just mix in water) and you can prolly make this for about $5 and make a bunch of them instead of just 1 or 2.

I would like to retire overseas. I am concidering Thailand and the Philippines. Which one would be cheaper? Which one has the better quality of life for retirees?

A. I have lived in both places at different times as a civilian and in the military. Both countries have something good for retirees but if I had to choose again one over the other Thailand is still my choice. I have (retired) friends that lived in the Philippines and they moved to Thailand. They felt safer and believe that their life would be a little better in Thailand. Before you make any decisions spend some time in both places. Talk to expats in both places and see what they think. You will find retirees in the Angeles City area, Subic Bay area and Manila. (Other areas too of course.) Some of the places in Thailand where you will find foreign retirees will be Bangkok, Pattaya and Phuket. Visit first and then decide! Thailand… [cont.]
