Shop Smarter
Are you a hoarder? If you open your bathroom cabinet and it looks like a shelf from the drugstore, then you are definitely a product junkie. It's okay, I kinda sorta am one still. It used to be worse, where I would have 5 shampoos in the shower, because each one offered a different solution to my hair woes. But, I've since trimmed down the shampoos to just two, and two conditioners as well. What? One is for daily use, the other is "deep" conditioning.
Don't feel too bad. A recent
LA Times article talks about a woman who had 40 tubs full of cosmetics and stored them way past their shelf life. She was storing them in storage units that cost $260 a month for 5 years. Good thing she found a pro organizer who helped her move them to garage cabinets.
Who would spend $15,600 just to store cosmetics they didn't use? That's a huge waste of money and space.

Money Saving Tips
In a recent article by the
Los Angeles Times, a survey showed that
healthcare costs are rising while benefits are shrinking. Health premiums have risen 153.5% since 2002 which is five times the inflation rate in California. And on top of that, employers offering health insurance has dropped to 63% from 73%. In fact, 46.3 million Americans under the age of 65 do NOT have health insurance. These are scary statistics, but there are ways you can go about managing your health care without health insurance.
