So You Wanna Learn a Language?
Growing up in America, I spoke English at home my whole life. It's pretty normal in American culture to only know one language—English, even if your family speaks more than one. I often begged my mother to teach me her native language of Tagalog but I never ended up learning it. It felt odd to me that I only spoke one language and my cousins halfway across the world all spoke at least three. But then one day my world changed.

Investment & Finance
In today’s economy it is getting harder and harder to save. Minimum wage goes up resulting in the cost of living to go up. We still strive as a society to the image of “keeping up with the Jones’” when in reality it is making people spend money they don’t have. Putting thousands of dollars on credit cards, refinancing their homes, and having to get multiple jobs to just keep up with bills. Most of the time ending with people losing their homes or filling bankruptcy. People try these programs such as ItWorks, Youngliving, Beachbody, etc. But what they don’t tell you is that most people who try to make that their income source can barely make extra side money. There is a very low percentage of people who actually come out on top from doing programs like those listed above.

Not-So-Extreme Couponing
You’ve probably seen it before - the women (and some men) on TLC’s Extreme Couponing, spending hours tirelessly collecting coupons and planning shopping trips in order to purchase a $1000 haul of grocery and toiletry items for under $30. It seems a little insane to many, but, they’re on to something.
