13 No Good, Very Bad Ways To Save Money
The Sun

Do you ever get pressured into saving money and don't have a clue how? Follow these super simple steps with no worries, no pressure, and no problem to start today! Disclaimer: the travel agency or life insurance is not responsible if you become scarred for the rest of your life.

1. Finding a hotel with the sign: "Unbelievable Bargain"

This one is really important. Vacations alone cost money, so why waste on hotels? Go ahead and search Priceline... or don't! Find the nearest abandoned house or creepy looking building with the sign quoted above.

2. Saving money on Winter Running Clothes

One time, someone told me to stay warm. It was good advice. What about it wasn't? When you have to pay for an extra outfit for cold runs. No need!

3. Holding Back on House Renovations

Follow these instructions: A. Take a visit to Dollar Tree and find a bucket. B. Place Bucket on water knob C. Enjoy and forget the rest!

4. Deciding you don't need a pool filter

If you've been feeling guilty for putting in that pool, it's OK! Save some money by "forgetting" to buy that filter, it really isn't that important.

5. Building your own water park

You know prices are going up. You know what else is going up? Creativity. Go out to the old barn, grab a tarp and wood, and give this sure-to-be-safe slide a ride!

6. Finding a Good Beach

Driving takes gas and gas takes money. Oceans, lakes, and even good creeks can be so far away. Find your nearest water hole to enjoy free swimming.

7. Free Movies!

Who doesn't like free movies? At freemoviesthatwilldefinitelygetyouintrouble.com they guarantee satisfaction.

8. Lower expectations for quality when it comes to sports

Sports are great and you shouldn't ever stop playing! But tightening your budget might just help you cut costs for them like by playing courses kept up like this one. Speaking of well kept quality...

9. Lawn Mower

If you happen to be one of those people who prefers cut grass, consider making this your next summer project.

10. Eating Out

The greatest chefs we could find put their talents together to handcraft mystery soups on a daily basis for your pleasure. We're not quite sure they passed Foods 101 in school, but does that really matter when the food is cheap?

11. You don't need headlights

These can get expensive, so why don't you cut the cost like the person did in this totally normal example?

12. Skipping any of these for a day or two or three or... more?

Washing your hair and brushing your teeth is so overrated. Eleven out of ten doctors we interviewed say it's a waste of time.

13. Live in the woods

"Are we outta the woods yet?" No, but at least it kind of blocks the rain...


Hope you enjoyed these "thoughts"!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
