My first job was a summer job before college as a waitress at a casual chain restaurant (think Chili's or Applebee's). If anything, it taught me how rude some people can be to a stranger who is serving them. Most customers were nice and decent tippers, but the bad ones could really ruin your day. Since that experience, I always go out of my way to be kind and pleasant to servers and tip very well. Honestly, I think everyone should be required to have a job in the service industry when they are young if only to teach them how to treat people or rather how not to treat them! Just my 2 cents. :)
Going to college cost me quite a bit of money/seniority in my chosen field of aviation. I had a particularly bad schedule at the airline I was working for and decided to finish my degree to make me more competitive with the major airlines. I graduated with a degree in sociology from NC State, forever changing my political alignment and social views. No regrets.
Good article! There really are a lot of job options if you love to read. While many people think of "blogging" as a hobby, it can be a career if you're passionate about it and dedicated to it.
Our family suv had some mechanical problems and it's our only vehicle so we had to take out small loan through our credit union to fix and it comes out automatically from bank account
Good points. I've also found some apps helpful in saving money when traveling, such as trip advisor and gas buddy. Also checking out the city's visitors' center may lead to coupons and special promotions as well.
I practice gratitude on a daily basis, but all too often I feel our society has let gratitude for the minor things in life fall under the radar. We should all be thankful for everything and everyone we have in life, because not everyone is as fortunate. Sometimes, I feel I am being annoying to my friends and family that I express gratitude often towards or create notes for them expressing my thanks, but I feel if we do not share it with them often enough, we may miss the opportunity to tell them. Even if you have only a small handful of people with you in your life journey, be thankful and grateful for their presence. I always find 3-4 different things to start and end the day with being grateful for. It really works wonders. :)
Wouldn't the best way to launder money is to sell art. Not art forgery or something like that, but sell your own art. You don't necessarily have to be all that talented either, there's all that crap abstract art with swirls, lines, dots and just random splashes of paint on a canvas anyway and thoughts "fantastic" works of art are going for millions. Who says you can't take an artist dump on canvas and someone didn't buy it from you with straight up cash. All you have to do is make a little fake name for yourself. Go buy some old ugly paintings from like Goodwill or Salvation Army for like 5 dollars, remove the frames paint over the canvases with your abstract bullcrap, take photos of them for proof, then "sell" them to a mysterious buyer who supposedly bought them with cash . Make am online footprint with a twitter and Facebook page for your professional trade, LinkedIn account about how your this amazing professional artist and make a quick website with your portfolio of all the over priced paintings you supposedly sold. This is one of the truly only products you can do this with because know one can tell you how much one of your art pieces is, you make the price no matter how much it cost to make it. Beauty and price is in the eye of the beholder. The cool thing about this business is it's not uncommon for people all over the world buying artwork privately. It's impossible to prove foul play,
I really like http://reallybigsavings.com while some of the other sites have hundreds of coupons for each store, I find most of them do not work. Really Big Savings have fewer coupons per store, but I have yet to find one that has expired or just doesn't work.
Hello, I am leading a book club like this and am wondering if you know if there is a social science term to describe this - bringing out personal stories through book discussion. I would love to read some articles on it but am having trouble finding a search term.

My first job was working for my dad at his video store. Definitely gave me perspective on the value of money!
My first job was working as a closing shift cashier at KFC. I learned that some jobs have perks, like free food.
My first job was a paper route. I had two of them!
My first job was babysitting & it taught me how to take care of infants...I gave birth to my 4th last month.

Play is the building blocks for our kids. We just need to ensure they learn real lessons along the way.
Your kids are really only as good as the time as you put into them.
I've got my kids splitting their money, into 3 jars. Saving - Spending - Donating
Hopefully, I can teach them to be generous as well as thrifty.
my surprise expenses was new car tires

Car repair!
None so far *knock on wood*

Yes medical expenses
I had car trouble this year and had to dig into my savings to pay for it.

Yes I had to get an MRI this year and that was definitely unexpected and expensive!
We've had some surprise construction costs for our home addition, but that's almost to be expected.
I don't risk it with anything but Lavilin. It is all-natural and long-lasting, and it works incredibly well.
