I ride my bike on the Curtis Trail to work 1 day every week or so. Also on Wednesdays I go to work early to avoid the extra metro fair for rush hour, and get lots of extra work done too.
I think money market accounts have a lot of benefits that people don't know about, including the ability to write checks while earning a decent return on their money.
Love the idea about using Twitter, great for giving someone a shout out. You could also use Facebook or an email. I'll add that though saying congrats may seem like a small thing, others -- esp. those who don't like to brag or draw attention to themselves -- really appreciate the gesture.
We do what we can. We buy used, and have only one vehicle. We combine trips and seek the best prices on gas. We plan our schedules to work with each other's. Keep current with oil changes. We increased our insurance deductable.
I dont find that rule. Apparently tthat makes a lot of things happen. Also, I am yet to see an unkempt Vampire. Hence, I like Zombies more than Vampires.
I think the most important thing is to be natural. I usually don’t take an interview as an interview. I mean I am enjoying its process by taking it as a sincerely face to face conversation. To figure out what the interviewer wants to hear before keeping talking about your ideas. As an old Chinese saying goes, “Do think before act”. Then, I think be relax is really helpful to eliminate the nervousness. Also, here I recommend another interview tips that is given by an insider expert. Yesterday I repost it on Facebook, and one of my friends was like “omg, why I didn’t see earlier.. I was so struggling with the interview.” So please click the here to take a glance! http://www.argopoint.com/management-consulting-case-interviews-advice-tips/
Thanks, Julie. Now I know what to do with my next free 15 minutes. I especially like #15—send a congratulatory note. If Twitter counts, I can get out at least 5 notes in that time.
Thank you! I'm a child of a major hoarder, my mom. She had the money to be a major shopper, at least for brand new items of clothing for her just to be stored (floor to ceiling) in her large house and NEVER WORN! I could've used the 1980's blazers when fresh out of undergrad or law school. I would've been out of style but very "work appropriate." In the '80s clothing was made in the USA (not China) and hence very expensive, in case you didn't know this. I worked hard to make sure part of her hoard went to places other than a landfill after her death, but much of it was completely wasted due to mildew and having served as a rodent reserve for decades. I only share this unpleasantness to say that overshopping for items is really disgusting to me, even if the items are pretty. It will likely end up n a huge landfill and that will be your lasting legacy Shoppers! Thanks for your blogs!
On weekends, I try to combined my errands. My commute to work is only about 4 miles, so not too bad. My biggest expense is the car and insurance. I'm usually driving alone, so a safe car is worth the cost to me.
Lest you think Target is making charitable donations to Goodwill, please know that expired clearance items and unsellable returns are SOLD to them, and Target dictates the selling prices. I have seen items that were unsuccessfully clearanced at 75% off, selling for 30% off retail at the GW.
But vampires have to wear tuxedos, which are probably expensive
to clean, particularly the blood stains. It's got to be cheaper (i.e. more
frugal) and easier to be authentic, by being a zombie. And if
anything, zombies are probably even MORE 'in' than vampires
these days.......
Right now, we're down to one car. It means that I do all the driving, which means that I've got to really be careful with the rest of my day if I want to get anything done (*cough*dishes*cough*).
It also is allowing us to spend more time together as a family -- more time talking, so we're growing closer.
Two ways: drive a small, fuel efficient car (and buy gas at Costco) and live across the street from the light rail so we can take it easily without feeling put out. also, living in the neighborhood you work in helps, too.
My money saving ideas with gas are fairly common sense. We try to run all of our errands in one day, check the tire pressure in the tires, and we take our smaller car instead of the truck... It helps a little bit... but it is better than nothing!

Drive 55 mph saves money on gas. Anything over 60 mph and you are going to the pump often!

I live very close to work.

i carpool with my husband to work.
Hi Eric--
The owner of my favorite consignment store has polish in every color. She told me to bring in my odd-colored shoes when they need a buffing.
Also, my I've sent my local cobbler so much business, he will generally polish my shoes for me gratis.
Right now, we're down to one car. It means that I do all the driving, which means that I've got to really be careful with the rest of my day if I want to get anything done (*cough*dishes*cough*).
It also is allowing us to spend more time together as a family -- more time talking, so we're growing closer.
I can use the city buses for free with my work ID, or I walk to work. Saves me money and is good for my health.
We take the bus everywhere. Fortunately, in our community, bus service is free, subsidized by all taxpayers in the area. It's a terrific service.
I sold my car and ride my bike to work, run, or walk. Cheaper and I'm also getting a workout.
Combine trips for essentials.
We only have one car in my family and we try to carpool for everything.
I stay home as often as possible. To run errands, I go to whichever shopping center has the most stores having good deals for items I need that week.
