Deal: 2GB Flash Drive for only $4.95 (or $9.95)

Buy.com today has a good deal on flash drive. If you are looking for drives with large capacity, then this ACP-EP Memory 2GB Hi-Speed USB 2.0 Flash Drive [Buy.com affiliate link] may be the right one for you. Priced at $50.00, this piece is eligible for the $20 off $50 Google Checkout promotion offer, plus $25.05 mail-in-rebate ($20.05 and $5.00 which expires today). However, when I checked the rebate forms, I found that both of them require original UPC label, making the $5.00 rebate impossible to get. Nonetheless, $9.95 is still quite good for a 2GB drive. Amazon.com has the same product for $49.99.

I  have never dealt with ACP before, thus don't know about their rebates.

Get Prepared for 2007 with Six Best Ideas from CNNMoney

While we are still mulling the year-end moves, CNNMoney already has some ideas on what we can do for 2007:

• Best investment idea: Invest in Vanguard Growth Index Fund (VIGRX).
• Best home-buying idea: Start the bidding at least 15% below the asking price for the house you really want.
• Best home-selling idea: Price your house like a buyer, not a seller.
• Best tax idea: Directly deposit your tax refund, if any, in your IRA account.
• Best savings idea: Lock in high yield with a long-term CD before interest rates start to fall.
• Best energy idea: Inflate your tires properly, replace the dirty spark plugs and air filter, and avoid quick break and acceleration.

So Money Can Indeed Buy (Limited) Happiness

So much have we heard what money can buy and can't buy and top the list of can'ts is happiness. 

Yesterday an article on USAToday, however, offered the opposite: Money can indeed buy happiness, though only to some limited extent. The conclusion (only one among many) is supported by findings from a research conducted by economist Andrew Oswald in England, who claimed that there's no doubt money makes people happier. The main debate is by how much.

If you are among people who still believe happiness has nothing to do with income or net worth, another article on AP Health has some simple actions you can take to make your life happier:

• Think of three good things that happened that day every night, and analyze why they occurred.
• Discover your personal strengths (through a specialized questionnaire [registration required]) and choose the five most prominent ones and apply one or more of your strengths in a new way every day.
• Write down what you want to be remembered for, to help you bring your daily activities in line with what's really important to you.
• Think about the happiest day in your life over and over again, without analyzing it, and write about how you'll be 10 years from now.

However, no matter which practice you want to choose, always keep in your mind that happiness is "about work and striving." As psychologist Ed Diener of the University of Illinois said:

Happiness is the process, not the place …… So many of us think that when we get everything just right, and obtain certain goals and circumstances, everything will be in place and we will be happy…. But once we get everything in place, we still need new goals and activities. The Princess could not just stop when she got the Prince.
