Why I'll Never Work in a Restaurant Again
Before I start this, I want to put out a full disclosure. I am by no means trying to upset or insult anyone who works in the restaurant industry. I know plenty of close friends who absolutely love their job and have turned it into a passionate career. This is merely an opinion that should be taken with a grain of salt. For me, working at a restaurant was not a career path to follow. My views are being shared for another perspective, one that rarely gets spoken about. While a lot of people enjoy this job, I also know people who have hated it as well as some who are unaware of the struggles jobs like this have.

A Comfy Retirement Is a Luxury Denied to Many…
A time will come when you’re ready to give a big middle finger to the monotony of everyday employment and wade peacefully in the waters of uninterrupted retreat, travel, family, hobbies, or just infinite boredom and nudeness. Well if you haven’t yet thought about how you’re going to fund those 25 to 30, “I’m going to do what the hell I want” years, you’re bound to die working. That is, unless you think you’ll be able to live on the projected social security retirement benefits that will fall right around $1,300 a month. This amount could be even less if you choose to start receiving your social security at the earliest age of 62, which is only a 75 percent payout. You’d have to wait four years longer at the age of 66 to receive 100 percent of what you’re entitled to. Who the hell wants to work all their life just to struggle once they step into their golden years? We’d be idiots to concentrate and rely on this one resource of retirement funding. Let’s not put all of our eggs into a single government basket—we must invest in ourselves!

5 Ways College Students Can Save Money in a Practical Way
College is no doubt the most money-consuming time of your life. Throughout the whole process, there is so much "free money" that students overlook, as well as opportunities to not pay anything at all. Many websites, apps, and even your school have opportunities to save money that you may not even know exist.
