We all think we know the parts of the tax code that affect us. But do we really? If you believe some of these myths, you could pay more tax than you should.

Santa Claus. The tooth fairy. Babe Ruth pointing to where he would hit a home run in the 1932 World Series. Someone who knocks on your door, smiles and announces, “I’m from the government, and I’m here to help you.”

Our culture is full of myths. And our tax system is full of myths, half-truths and untruths that can cost you big bucks if you don’t understand the rules.

Unless you’ve recently won the lottery, it’s probably safe to say you wouldn’t be opposed to making more money if you could. But like most things in life, nothing comes that easy. You’ve gotta work for it.

Whether you’re working full time and need help making ends meet or the nine-to-five grind just isn’t your scene, part-time jobs are something for you to explore. These positions allow you to earn a regular (albeit reduced) paycheck, work fewer hours and still fill a potential void on your résumé.

The best way to burn less fuel is to buy a car that gets better gas mileage. But our tests with a Toyota Camry and other vehicles show there are ways to minimize what you spend at the pump with your current car.

1. Drive at a moderate speed. This is the biggest factor. You may have to be a little patient, but driving at 55 mph instead of 65 or 75 will save you money. When we increased the Camry’s highway cruising speed from 55 mph to 65, the car’s fuel economy dropped from 40 mpg to 35. Speeding up to 75 mph cost the car another 5 mpg. One reason is that aerodynamic drag increases exponentially the faster you drive; it simply takes more fuel to power the car through the air.

Alaskan King Crab
High in protein and low in fat, the sweet flesh of the king crab is spiked with zinc — a whopping 7 milligrams per 3.5-ounce serving. “Zinc is an antioxidant, but more important, it helps support healthy bone mass and immune function,” says Susan Bowerman, assistant director of the Center for Human Nutrition at the University of California at Los Angeles.

“Several studies have linked adequate zinc intake to increased immunity and decreased incidences of respiratory infection.” And you can reap all these benefits by swapping one of your weekly fish meals for a six-ounce serving of crab.
