No matter what your money situation, it’s easy to spend like your money will never run out, especially when the company you keep tends to spend like mad.
One of the perks I had during my recent college experience was living within walking distance of all my friends, which meant rarely needing to spend a lot of money to have a good time. But things are different now and draining my wallet seems to be a consequence of hanging out with friends. Read More »- Let’s talk: Comment (13) | Blog

Being a college student can mean a lot of things, but along with all of the fun comes new responsibilities. It's the first time you learn how to do a lot of things on your own, including keeping a personal budget.

Even in a recession we still need to buy necessities but we are also going to continue to buy things we don't need either... We are human and still get are enjoyment from items that make us happy and that usually isn't a gallon of milk or a pack of eggs!

In a “recession” like we are in today everything seems to be on sale, discounted or better yet free and all you have to do is find the deals...
