Stuff costs a lot. Stuff we buy, stuff we have, stuff we want to get rid of, stuff we don't buy because we can't afford it, stuff we bought that we can't afford, stuff that isn't stuff, but is actually a service of some kind. This week in the Best of Personal Finance, we looka t the cost of stuff, even stuff you don't really think about.

Making improvements to your quality of life isn't always going to be about money. Usually, the sea changes that make our lives more livable are things that don't involve coupons or frugality at all. I know that the best gifts I have given myself had little to do with my credit score. What have you done to make your life better?

If you've recently lost your job due to the shaky economy, and you've filed for unemployment benefits, you might be surprised when your former employer attempts to block your unemployment by saying that you were fired.

There isn't one sure-fire method for getting rid of acne, because the types and causes of acne are varied.

The store that I work at offers a rewards card to frequent shoppers, and there are quite a few people who refuse to sign up for it - I can understand why they wouldn't want to have another shopping card on hand, but trust me, if you regularly spend a hundred dollars in a particular store, you deserve some kind of reward. You might even be surprised how much money you actually spend at a particular store - I'm regularly handing out free gifts to shoppers who look shocked that they qualify for them.

As times get tougher, I have began to wonder how many people will turn to hunting and fishing as a means to provide food for their families. I don't think I have the stamina to track and shoot a deer, and the Seattle area really isn't that good for hunting - hipsters don't taste very good, anyway.
