Theme: Spending Money On Gas

April 23, 2008

With gas prices going up (and expected to go higher as the summer approaches), I often wonder whether or not it’s necessary to use premium gasoline for my car. Obviously, if you have a fancy sports car, you use supreme (or if the manual tells you definitely use supreme, then use it). But a lot of us fall into that grey area of not really knowing whether or not to use premium gas.I recently came across a helpful article about whether or not to use premium gas. Seems like a lot of us pay more at the pump than we should.

Theme: Saving Money With A Free Hobby

April 21, 2008

One way a lot of us spend money is by enjoying our favorite hobbies. Whether its going bowling, going out to bars with friends, or watching sports games, we often find ways to spend money. One idea to save money is to pursue a hobby or interest that doesn’t cost anything. Obviously, blogging comes to mind. Just sign up for a free Blogger account and get going! Blogging isn’t for everyone. Some of us are more into self improvement. A lot of us try to learn an extra language in our free time, something which can take a lot of time and money. Just a simple Google search though can bring up a ton of websites that can help you learn for free. For example, if you are an immigrant or someone else that doesn’t speak English well, you can better your English with this free English course.Other ideas for self improvement involve reading classics. Instead of shelling out $20 to read the latest novel, check out an older, famous novel whose copyright has expired. Project Guttenberg has over a thousand such books available online.
