Modern Money Managers: ManageME7
In continuation of our Modern Money Managers series, I tested out ManageME7.
Oh My Pumpkin
It’s fall. Begrudgingly we must accept that summer is over. With the absence of that large orange sun comes the revival of those large orange squash that we know and love. You know what I’m talkin’ about. Oh yeah…it’s pumpkin time!
Goodbye My Faithful Followers!
Well brassers, it's time for me to ride off into the sunset on an awesome horse (with authentic western tunes playing in the background, naturally). I have reached the end of my editorial internship, and must leave my friends (and all of you faithful followers). This is the part where I blab about all that I've learned and leave some helpful life advice, so get ready for an earful.
Pack Your Lunch
I know I've mentioned that school is starting soon, and I hate to remind you again, but there's no avoiding it. To make matters worse, you will soon be faced with the horror of cafeteria food--glistening, greasy pizza slices or sad, wilty iceberg salads.
Smart School Supplies
The first day of school is looming on the horizon. Hopefully, you've managed to save some cash from your summer job; otherwise the prospect of buying new school supplies is probably going to make your wallet scream in terror.
Plastic Baddies
Plastic bags are everywhere. You can't drive down a road or walk on a sidewalk without seeing these colorful culprits tangled around telephone poles, trees, and weeds. They even manage to find their way into rivers and other natural areas, resulting in death of animals who accidentally eat or get tangled in them.
Golden Eggs
Would you pay $8,000 for a couple of eggs? How about if they resulted in a healthy baby instead of the most amazing breakfast on earth?
A female is born with about 1-2 million oocytes (potential egg cells), but only about 400 mature eggs are released during a woman's reproductive life. These microscopic eggs may not look like much, but to reproductively challenged couples and fertility clinics around the world, they may as well be made of gold.
Out With The Old
Here in Oregon, June is the transition month between rainy spring to glorious summer. If your closet looks anything like mine, it is a mess of winter sweaters, summer t-shirts, and old long sleeved shirts. So, the question is: what should you do to conquer your seasonally confused wardrobe?
There are plenty of consignment shops who are in need of your old winter clothes, and they will pay cash for that sweater you accidentally shrunk last winter.
Facebook Vanity
Starting at midnight Eastern time on Saturday (June 13th), Facebookers around the world will be able to personalize their URLs. This means that the URL for your Facebook Pages and profile will no longer be a randomly assigned number. The idea behind this change is that Facebook is trying to make it easier to find people via search engines while boosting its Internet traffic.
