As I make the switch from my winter to spring wardrobe, I found myself with the decision to donate or sell my clothes. Over dinner with my best friend, she told me how she has made hundreds of dollars recently selling clothes on eBay. Now I’ll admit, it has been years since I’ve ventured onto the online marketplace and I remember the selling process being
I’m a library nerd: I love books, but I don’t love paying for them. For the holidays, I bought my brother-in-law a gift card to a book store so he could download eBooks, which he apparently spends a lot of money on. I asked my sister if he ever considered downloading them from the library. They didn’t even know that was an option! Did you?
Help! Money is harming my friendships. Most of my friends and family know I write about money for a living and sometimes I worry that it influences the way people talk around me. Do they feel pressure to justify splurges? To let me know they used a coupon? Do they hide certain purchases from me? Is my frugal lifestyle harming my relationships?
A few years ago, I was “stupid” broke. I say “stupid” because the reason for my lack of funds had nothing to do with serious things, like medical bills or job loss. I was broke because of very bad decisions when it came to saving money. I was contemplating a job change, and considering committing a serious money sin: cashing out a 401(k) just to
Have you ever paid for an app? I haven’t. Almost weekly, I hear friends and colleagues talk about a new app they purchased for $.99, or $2.99 or even $10.99! I refuse to whip out my wallet when there are so many amazing free apps out there – most of them you’ve never heard of. With over 2 million available, how could you catch them
Recently you may have heard about a mom that created a Facebook page for her special needs son, Colin, who was having a hard time making friends. She asked people to send birthday cards so her child wouldn’t feel friendless. Boy, was she stunned when her page collected over two million “Likes.” I was one of those people who “Liked” her page and had my
My best friend has been asked to be a bridesmaid in her cousin’s wedding. At first, she was very excited, but now the cost of being a bridesmaid has become overwhelming. As fun as it is to be in a wedding party, it can get pretty expensive…especially if the bride isn’t footing the bill. My friend’s cousin is getting married in a very lavish manner.
I’ve started to save a lot of money by making coffee at home and never realized the huge range of price in homemade coffee. From $18 per pound for fair trade coffee beans from Ethiopia to $2.50 per pound for generic label coffee from the grocery store. How much you spend – or save – on coffee says a lot about you. How much do you spend
I recently read an article on the Billfold about Merrill Edge’s new Face Retirement App.The app shows you a picture of your “old self” because “preparing for retirement is easier when it’s staring you in the face.” I’m not thinking about how to save for retirement – but should I be? Should I start saving for retirement at 23?
I love Ball mason jars and have used them for everything other than canning for years. My mom was born and raised in Muncie, Ind., home of the Ball family, so I watched my grandmother use them all over her home. Over the years I have inherited several beautiful jars, and place them around my apartment. Small disclaimer however: there are several blogs and Pinterest

Every evening when I prep my coffee pot for the next day I think, “There’s gotta be other uses for coffee grounds,” as I dump them into the compost bin. I asked around and scoured the internet to come up with this list of common – and not so common – coffee ground uses. 21 uses for coffee grounds 1. Freshen skin: I have been
I’ve been living at my Dad’s house since I graduated from college in May, without any college debt, might I add! While I like living with my siblings, I’ve been having trouble with my Dad’s rules and my step-mother. My dad is very traditional and thinks I should live at home until I get married (yikes!) and would not be supportive of me moving out.
