Making Money Shopping
When we’re kids, shopping seems easy. Mom or Dad go to the store and get things. You ask them for something that looks delicious, and they either say yes or no. You don’t really understand everything that goes into it, especially if you’re a family on a budget. Back in the '90s and even the early '00s it was all about the coupons. A show had even been made called Extreme Couponing. Now, they have apps for that, and several of these apps are extremely useful.

How To Say No
We all know somebody who never takes no for an answer. Or, maybe you're just not that great at saying no. Below are 75 different ways you can say no, ranging from polite for your boss to firmly declining for that telemarketer to mildly offensive when that jerk on the street won't leave you alone.

Don't Just Shop, Be Smart at It!
With the economy fluctuating like a roller-coaster ride over the past few years, the inflation rates are huge and the prices for everything are going up by the day. That holds true for the stuff we use on a daily basis like groceries, toiletries, baby products, stationery, medicines, etc. Even when it comes to travelling or taking loans, things have become a bit on the steeper side for the average earner. In such a scenario, how can one help himself and his pocket? Does he stop buying the stuff that he needs? Does he stop stepping out of the house for an occasional vacation?

4 Steps to Un-F*ck Your Life a Little
We've all had those moments when we feel like we're drowning in our stuff. It's an uncomfortable feeling for two reasons: It is completely and entirely our own doing. A little elf didn't buy a bunch of shit and put it all over your home. It's an unfriendly reminder of the materialistic culture we don't like to associate ourselves with. How can we complain about having so much while others have so little?

How to Become A Mole in About Five Seconds
I'm a little bit strapped for cash right now, and after dropping a load of money another costume, my organic chemistry professor offered extra credit if we came to class in a chemistry-related costume. I had absolutely no idea what to go as. Ultimately, I decided to go as a mole, and anybody that's had even one chemistry class in their lifetime knows exactly why this is related to chemistry.

Clever Ways to Spend Less Money This Month
A lot of us, and I mean a lot of us spend so much money on unnecessary things. From splurge shopping to dropping $50 on lunch with friends, we really do let our money go to waste. And most of the time, we spend money out of pleasure… Yes, I’m admitting it. I’m the type of person to drop $100 on a bottle of wine, and I actually have once (but I slightly don’t regret it) — but my wallet wasn’t too happy. I could've used that $100 to pay off some of my credit card debt. Instead, I added more onto my plate and soon I'll be drowning in debt if I don't start spending less these days.
