ThinkGeek’s Parent Company Says A New Suitor Has Followed Hot Topic Into The Bidding Ring

What’s a little retail merger romance without a love triangle thrown in for good measure? After the news yesterday Hot Topic was buying online retailer ThinkGeek’s parent company GeekNet in a deal worth $122 million, the purveyor of sci-fi curiosities and comic book inspirations says another suitor has thrown in a bid to buy it. On Wednesday, Geeknet confirmed that it’d received an unsolicited offer from a strategic buyer that remains nameless, to buy all oustanding common stock for $20 per share in cash. That’s in comparison to the $17.50 per share offer Hot Topic threw down on Tuesday. It’s now up to Geeknet’s board of directors to consult legal teams and financial advisors to mull over this latest proposal.

Taco Bell Confirms It’s Testing Delivery Near College Campuses Because Obviously

(kenfagerdotcom)When the folks at Taco Bell sat down to think about where they could find a population likely to want fast food Mexican fare delivered to their doorsteps, they likely didn’t have to work that one out for very long. After earlier reports that the chain might be testing delivery, Taco Bell confirms it’s trying things out in certain likely areas, namely college campuses. With dorm room upon dorm room and crappy apartment/house upon crappy apartment/house potentially sheltering hungry, young people who stay up late, places of higher learning seem to be a natural fit for Taco Bell. Heck, we had Taco Bell delivery in college but it was bribing that guy down the hall with beer so he’d run over at 4

Do You Have a Fear of Spending? Here’s How I Managed It…

When I was 19 and on my own for the first time, grocery shopping was always a struggle. Not only was I completely clueless when it came to cooking anything besides spaghetti, but the thought of handing over such a huge chunk of my money at the end of every shopping trip made my stomach churn. I was terrified of spending money and running out of the cash reserves I had, so I would spend days at a time eating whatever I could pull together. Usually these makeshift meals were almost completely void of nutrition. Truth be told, I was worrying for nothing. Not only did I still have some financial support from my parents, but I had a steady job and could more than afford to pay

I Lost Control of Money During a Break Up, Don’t Make The Same Mistakes I did

After breaking up with a guy who I had dated for almost 10 years, I immediately went to the mall and spent over $1,000 on new clothing. The next day, I decided that I wanted to learn how to go camping and went to REI to buy over $500 in camping supplies. Retail confession: this was the start of a debt-filled journey to get over my ex. Spending a ton of money on new clothing, new hobbies (along with every accessory for that hobby), and all-girls trips to the spa, fancy restaurants, and the hottest new bars would make me feel better, right? My plan in retail therapy completely backfired months later when I came to the realization that I had racked up thousands of dollars

Talking About Money With Friends Can Be Difficult, Here’s How You Do it

No one likes a friend who brags about being rich or constantly complains about being broke. The Miss Manners in me never liked to speak about the specifics of my money problems.  After all, we’re all taught that mixing friends and money is never a good idea. But what would change if we were more transparent in everyday conversations about the realities and problems we all face: credit card debt, student loans, paying bills and taxes, saving for retirement, and managing investments? Would friendships really end? Money problems and disputes can end friendships, but the actual cause of money being an uncomfortable topic for discussion is usually buried in emotions attached to how society values people. Perhaps the greatest evil of capitalism is that it makes people
