Working from home

Are you going to try and work from home to make a few extra dollars in these economic times. Before you sign up for a company and send them credit card numbers why not look them up. Scam.com has a forum of nothing but people who have the experience of already being there and done that why not just post on the forum asking them their opinion before buying.

How to get free merchandise

No you don't need to send me anymore, no you don't need to send me an email, and no you don't need to go to another website just read this. With your own money, well actually you have to do this correctly it may take some time to do. Go to your bank's web-site and check services. If you find something saying scorecard or rewards program click on that. It should take you to another web-site to where they are offering you rewards for spending your own money. How do you get the points? Well what you have to do is use your debit card as a credit card, don't worry most of the time according to your bank there is no interest. The only difference in the way it takes it out is that later it takes out the money, give or take 3 or 4 days. That is how you get the points. Me personally I'm trying to get the ipod touch and I need about 10,000 more points. It adds up quickly. I'm paying most of my bills using my card as credit where I can. Just thought everyone should know.

LOW Cash4Gold

If you have been thinking about sending in your cash4gold to get a few extra dollars during this time of need you are probably better off going to an authorized jewlery store to sell your items. If you don't believe me and you think that the people on the t.v. are actually telling you the truth why not take a third opinion. Maybe from someone who used to work there like this person.

Picka teacher

Most of us in school regret one or two teachers that we have taken. We all at on point wish that we could have known about how hard a teacher is going to be, how moody they are, racist, sexist, or even just a plain out b*tch that has the attitude about I have to teach because I can't do it. We all have probably ran into them.

Saving Step 1

I am going to start on saving a few dollars here and there. I am going to document the steps that I have taken. Some steps will be more than other but not too much. I am not going to be able to afford solar panels for my entire home, but reasonable steps.

Step 1. Start using blackle, ninja, or something similar with a black background. It costs less money to show a black screen than a white one.

Saving money at School

Saving money is really tough being a college student, especially during those finals week when every test seems like they come 10 minutes apart from each other and you have not time for anything else. Well While I've been attending college I have figured out a few tricks on how to save a few pennies here and there. So far I have been able to attend College without taking out any loans and able to buy a house, and I don't have a degree yet. How do I do it?

1. Don't just out right buy the book. Yes we all need to purchase text books. Try different web-sites or local places. Try some of the places like www.directtextbook.com it's kind of like the google for textbooks. Or you could try something local if you need it right now to see if someone has it like www.craigslist.com; however if you dont' want to purchase a text book and you think that your just going to sell it back then why not check your local library. That is the place that I found my humanities 3 book. Given it's not the 7th edition, but it is the 6th and the teacher said that it was fine. You could also check with your teacher to see if they have an old edition that they are not using I'm sure that they probably would not mind you using. But if you don't want to do any of that then check the bookstore for someone posting the books that they are trying to sell you mind find the one that you are looking for or even put a post up saying that you are willing to buy for a certain price.

2. Don't use all your paper, use scrap paper. Don't go out and buy a bunch of loose leaf paper that your going to do nothing with besides write some notes on for a test and maybe review for a final and then you just wasted that paper. Use scrap paper, go to the school's printer and most of the time they have paper sitting aside from regular paper saying scrap, and if you want to put it in a binder then just use the 3 hole punch, it's a lot cheaper than out right buying your own paper to use two times in your life.

3. Don't buy the softdrinks. I know you don't like water probably like me it doesn't have much taste well then buy a plastic bottle and go and get those drink mixing packets they are about 10 of them for less than 3.00. I think that they are more potent than what I like so I dilute them in a quart instead of a 20oz bottle powerade makes the best size bottle that I have found. I haven't found anything permanent yet. 3.00 for 10 drinks, and each one a quart size is a lot more than 1.00 for a 20oz, and these are a lot better for you than soft drinks they only have about 10 calories at most.

4. If you buy anything, and I mean anything save the slip. Put it into a shoe box with a slit cutout with tape holding the top and keep those for taxes, last year I wrote off everything that I bought all the way down to pens and pencials. I usually only use refills now and I usually only refill the same pen i've been using but I keep the records for taxes.

5. Print at the school. I have a printer and it's just the cheapest one I could find at walmart, but the ink is ridicuoulsy expensive about 30.00 or so and it's not that great. Whenever I acutally need a lot of files printed I go through the school because it's only 0.10 a page and that is if it's not school related.

6. Don't buy a thumb drive. I know that they are cheap very cheap on the internet, but it was no longer than 3 months ago that a 8gb thumb drive was 20.00. Now it's a 16gb thumb drive is 20.00. Technology is moving so fast that it makes no sense to buy technology right now. Instead of buying a thumb drive us a online file storage system something like livedirve or filesavr or you can even use gmail with the correct plug in.

7. One of the biggest ways that I have saved money is not through the school, but gas wise by selling my turbo'd rsx and getting a motorcycle. It is very fun, but I think that the best part is that the motorcycle uses only about 15.00 a week in gas and that is back and forth to work as well, it only sucks in the rain. But 15.00 a week is well worth it.

Slap Google in face

gog.is/

Type this in the navigation bar gog.is/whatever/you/want/to/search. and hit Enter. You should get the google search bar searching for "whatever you want to search" (without quotes of course). That should save some people some time. or you could just regularly space out what you want to search after the gog.is/"this box is what you are trying to search for".

Internet Radio

A very good web-site that I have grown to listen to a lot on the internet is Pandora. You have to make an account but they never send me any spam e-mail, you make a channel by putting in a type of music that you listen to like "Jack Johnson" and it plays other artists like him. I must have about 15 or 20 stations ranging from arcade fire, red hot chilli peppers, 311, to matisyahu. Try them out here www.Pandora.com

Don't buy software get it legally FREE

That is correct the world of the internet is moving more and more towards open source everyday. Because many people do not believe in making millions of dollars for simple software that they make. A web-site www.openoffice.org has many open source programs for everyday people such as a word processing program like word, and many other please check them out and quit buying.
