The Best Customer Service is Now on Twitter
Most kids dream about becoming a firefighter or an astronaut or maybe even a customer service representative when they’re young. Oh wait, that last one might be more of a nightmare. Let’s face it: a job as a CS rep isn’t exactly a high paying one and most of the reps I’ve talked to haven’t […]
How to Rent Kindle Library Books That Never Expire
I don’t read a ton of books these days but I do go through phases where I’ll read intensely for a few months and then take a break. I’ve always enjoyed reading and I feel like reading is the best preparation you can do for reading comprehension and standardized tests. Reading a lot has also […]

5 Ways To Reduce or Eliminate Your Coffee Budget
A lot of personal finance sites out there focus on saving you a few bucks here and there, but I’m more concerned with the big stuff.

Is Restaurant Week Even a Good Deal?
Have you heard of restaurant week? Most large metropolitan cities have some form of it, but the general idea is that you pay a discounted rate for a three course price fixed dinner at a top restaurant in your city.

How to Really Save Money at Chipotle
This post was inspired by an article I read the other day entitled: 15 Ways to Save Money at Chipotle. Now I don’t want to throw another blog under the bus, but man were their ideas lame(google the article title to find it). I’ve actually been obsessed with Chipotle for a while now and I […]
A Guide to Buying on Craigslist

Keep Your CD’s Liquid and Still Earn a High Rate of Return
Most investors probably don’t have too many high yielding ‘safe’ investments lying around from the high interest rate days. The 5% CD’s that we all took for granted in 2007-2008 are a thing of the past and I know most people wish they would have locked in a couple more 5 year CD’s at these […]
