LIFESTYLE<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

There was a time not so long ago when cash was king, and people literally carried some at all times. These days you can pay for a lot more things with credit and debit cards, but there are still times when one might need cash. So how much cash should an adult carry on them at any given time these days? Opinions on that vary. A survey found 42 percent of people carry no more than $40 in cash, and 30 percent carry between $41 and $99. But an aggregation of data from various sources finds popular opinion says carrying $200 is just the right amount because it is enough to handle a standard emergency, and it’s likely enough to cover your bill at a restaurant if your credit card gets declined or if they don\u2019t accept plastic.<\/p>\n

A company just analyzed what having a phone is going to cost you in your lifetime.\u00a0 And the answer is . . . more than $75,000.<\/p>\n

Here’s the breakdown:<\/p>\n

The phones, buying one every two or three years for 60 years:\u00a0 An average of $567 per phone, for a total of $12,474.<\/p>\n

Your monthly bill for the next 60 years:\u00a0 $960 per year, for a total of $57,600.<\/p>\n

Apps and accessories:\u00a0 $88 per year, for a total of $5,280.<\/p>\n

Now . . . this study assumes that we’ll still be using phones in the year 2078, and not just sending telepathic messages or whatever.\u00a0 But it also uses today’s prices, so it’s not banking on inflation or general price increases.<\/p>\n

In an interview, Mark Wahlberg said his kids are embarrassed by his ‘Marky Mark’ past . . . as, you know, they probably should be. He said that he was at his son’s football game last week, and they started playing “Good Vibrations” in the stadium, and his son was, quote, “burying his head in his helmet.”<\/p>\n

Even though Andrew Lincoln made his last appearance on \u201cThe Walking Dead\u201d on Sunday, don\u2019t put a fork in the show just yet.\u00a0 AMC has signed new deals with stars Norman Reedus and Melissa McBride for the next three seasons.\u00a0 The actors, who have played fan-favorite characters Daryl and Carol since the first season, will receive significant pay increases, and could potentially move from one Walking Dead property to another, as Lennie James did when he left the main series and joined \u201cFear the Walking Dead\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cInternational Merlot Day\u201d, saluting the wine made from the most widely-planted grape in France, which also grows well in Argentina, Australia, California, and Switzerland. Hmm, how should we celebrate?<\/p>\n
