California Dad Sells Baby for $25
I've been approached on the Subway by kids selling candy bars for their school basketball team, and pursued after by street vendors aggrandizing their cheap merchandise, but never in my 20 years of experience as a consumer have I ever been sold a...baby.
Unlike myself however, one couple was.

Flip Flops: The Shoe That Fits ANY Budget
Flips flops and summer are two words that go hand in hand.
Whether from the beach to dinner, flip flops are the ultimate summer accessory.
Unlike the winter, where not everyone has Uggs (Not everyone has them....) or other winter boots, everyone has flip flops.
They can fit into everyone's budget, unlike Uggs or other types of shoes.

Help Wanted: Breaking the Proverbial "Student" Budget
Typically, a college student's financial life isn't an easy one. There's school loans, cafeteria meals, tuition costs, Ramen noodles, book costs, microwaved pizza, and pilfered bread rolls from local buffets.
Thankfully, I didn't experience any of those things when I was in college or graduate school.
My parents helped me pay for things here and there, while I received scholarships and worked part-time to pay for most everything else.
Now, however, I'm preparing to return to graduate school to pursue yet another degree.

Washing Laundry in the Tub - Fun/Cheap/Economical!
My fiance and I have never been very good at keeping up with the laundry. This is probably because we live in a fairly small apartment without a washer or a dryer. There are washers and dryers available to us, but they are very small, and at 1.50 for 3 pairs of pants, and a few shirts...it just isn't worth it!!!
So, often times, we would only wash clothing in small amounts, only when we ran out of underwear/socks/etc. Not the most fun way of living. Especially when I have to make sure not to get anything on my pants because I might have to wear them for a long time before I can wash them again.
Recently, I started learning how to do things around the house for cheap. One of these things was laundry.

I Don't Want To Depend On My Parents For Money
I don't know about you but being broke is probably one of the worst feelings in the world for me.
A lot of people don't think money is something that should be your life but money is life (it's the way I see it).

Fear Not, There is an Afterlife for the iPhone 3G.
I know you were one of those really (really really really) dedicated Apple junkies who stood on lines that could wrap themselves around the earth's equator twice, with left over. I know you endured the 10 hour arrangement in an anticipation that I'll never understand, but fortunately for you unscrambling your mind's synaptic connections is not my purpose here today.
Quite the contrary. In fact, I am here to coach you through the trying separation from your now ex-iPhone - the previous generation of less than 7 hours worth of battery power, the old school hand held void of a video chat enabling front facing camera - because letting go is never easy.
It's tough, but you can do it.

Advice: My Partner Doesn't Have a Well Paying Job
A relationship will always have ups and down (hopefully more ups)
As one gets older though, and becomes more established money becomes more of a factor.
Could a couple afford a home, provide for a family, or just sustain financial stability for themselves?

Three Discontinued Items I Miss
We all remember the good ole days of childhood bliss. Although most have comparatively contrasting memories of growing up, there are some products we all grew up with which each ring true as being staples of a generation.
As an 80's baby, here are a few of my favorite products from the past few decades that cause unstoppable nostalgia to creep into my heart.
