Freebies always deserve a good tip ... which brings up a great point: If you aren't charged for your meal because it wasn't cooked right or you found a bug dancing around in your salad, make sure you tip on the original bill amount. The waiter shouldn't be penalized for the kitchen's mistake!
I did VERY well the the eventbrite referral program. I wrote about it and I guess someone saw it and hosted a major paid event...my referral payout was over $900!
I need to see pictures of your rats sitting in hammocks! I had hooded rats as a child, so this idea brings back such nice memories. Rats make great pets.
Hi there! Your quote effectively describes of one method of study. As you know, scientific experiments vary, and feeding lab animals pure aspartame does not recreate the same conditions of a human consuming a large Diet Coke with their burger in the wild. Habitual consumption of aspartame tends to go hand-in-hand with other consumption behaviors that are also considered unhealthy.
We don't know yet if aspartame is a confounder or a cause of the diabetes, cancer and other illnesses we're seeing in people who consume it. As always, science is never completed nor definitive, and there are many studies being conducted even now.
If you can't avoid loans.... and think very carefully before taking them out..... calculate what your monthly payment will be after you graduate. Keep track of these payments. "Let's see, $50 from last year's loans, $175 from this year's loan....." etc. Don't take out more loans if the expected loan payments exceed your worst-case, post-graduation income scenario. (And remember--some loans accumulate interest while you are in school.)
Check out your local community college. Cheaper rates and some have transfer credit arrangements with nearby 4-year schools, if that is where you are headed. (And classes at both will usually be taught by folks with similar qualifications. Actually, you are probably more likely to get a Ph.D English prof at the community college and a master's-level TA at the four-year college.)
Don't scorn trade school/community college type careers. Go for what you like. If you'd rather work with your hands, there are lots of lucrative, challenging careers out there for you, many in which you can end up running your own business. Don't go to a 4-year college on auto-pilot or because someone else thinks you should.
I have a Ph.D. in English literature. I'm not opposed to liberal arts or higher education! But you've got to do your research about your earning potential and then adjust accordingly. You can still major in art or literature--you may just have to fund it differently.
A lot of eye openers here, though I already knew about the risks of energy drinks. A relative of mine died from a heart attack after drinking one. (I think it was Monster.)
Because timeshares have been a decades long punch-line, we figured most people were aware of the traps involved in timesharing. A timeshare is basically a money pit!
Eric, I totally agree with you. The main point is that while we all want to be savvy, most of us don't actually game the system. If we did, first month free gym memberships and zero-interest credit lures would not so popular as marketing practices.
And what you said about credit reporting is very true. There are so many ways to check your score for free, plus it's the law! ( http://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0155-free-credit-reports )
My advice would be to differentiate between "wants" and "needs", limit borrowing to the absolute minimunm, buy used text books after finding out if former students enrolled in that class actually needed them.
The raw honey is dangerous only if it was heated above 36 degrees celsious. In USA it's usally heated over 62,5 which is the point where it becomes toxic. Unheated honey is super healthy and it is actualy the only healthy sugar.
Our old jeans get used to make hammocks for our rat cages. Rats love hammocks, but they also chew everything, and denim's about the toughest for making them.
Very poor article. Even the link from cancer.org you provided on Aspartame disagrees with you:
"Many studies have looked for health effects in lab animals fed aspartame, often in doses higher than 4,000 mg/kg per day over their lifetimes. These studies have not found any health problems that are consistently linked with aspartame."
My advice to a college student would be to take out the least amount of student loans possible, and to save a portion of any income - opportunities that cost money could come up and you shouldn't go into debt for them, so have a budget and savings.
Want to save money on books and supplies? Be friends with people who have similar majors as you. It doesn't matter if they are behind or ahead of you. They are willing to part with supplies, books, notes, etc. if you are trust worthy. I have taken same classes to share books and supplies and passed the "torch" of goodwill to them.
If you want to save on tuition it's also best to ask the professors just in case they know of any scholarships that they don't normally post.
Oh I think my advice would be to be very careful with credit cards! They always have those recruiters trying to get them more cards...and so many times get too far in debt.
Do not fall for the credit card offers! Pay in cash :)
I believe it, Lance! I guess having "been-there-done-that" has its benefits - and drawbacks!

Regarding #11:
(2x + 9 - 3)/2 - x = y
(2x + 6)/2 - x = y
x + 3 - x = y
y = 3

Another easy one:
The library.
It's a big favorite at our house. Right now we're getting a kick out of watching Bewitched re-runs, DVD checked out for free.
Because timeshares have been a decades long punch-line, we figured most people were aware of the traps involved in timesharing. A timeshare is basically a money pit!
I just canceled cable. So long Time Warner, hello Netflix & Hulu!

You forgot Ebates
I thought you would include timeshares.

Good ideas. Here are some we use.
Use cash instead of whipping out a credit card. We tend to be more conscious of the actual cost of something when paying in "real money".
This may seem silly, but it works. Dump all your change in a jar at the end of the day.

My advice would be to not spend money you don't have and to really think about want versus need before making any purchases,
My advice would be to only take out student loans for tuition costs and to use part time job and summer earnings for living expenses.
Oh I think my advice would be to be very careful with credit cards! They always have those recruiters trying to get them more cards...and so many times get too far in debt.
