One day I thought, "There has to be somewhere online where I can make money." I hopped on Google and sure enough—there were dozens of websites willing to pay me to complete surveys and even watch videos. I QUICKLY signed up and within about two months, my first check came in.

Cheap, Clean, & Content
The word "poorgeoisie" was in circulation a few years ago to describe the current generations’ penchant for low-income frugality with middle-class materialism. I’ve only dumpster dived a few times in my life, but when I did, we had Starbucks muffins for days, with only the faintest hint of old coffee-grounds and used napkins!

Maxed Out
Managing your finances can be a juggling act, especially if you are currently in between jobs or living paycheck to paycheck. When we are in a bind, instead of paying for things with cash, we often resort to pulling out our credit cards to pay for the necessities and even things we want but do not need in life.

Be Careful When Connecting to Public Wi-Fi
As more and more information becomes available online, people naturally feel the need to stay connected to the internet at all times. So much so, that when at home we connect to unlimited Wi-Fi connections and when we’re on the move, we have Internet connectivity activated on our smart phones. Additionally, many of us also plug into public Wi-Fi connections available at marketplaces, shopping malls and generally anywhere we go. Even on airports, college campuses and train stations, people can be found connected to public Wi-Fi connections. While doing so isn’t a bad idea if you wish to save a few bucks or some bandwidth from your phone’s data connection, it’s important to realize that public Wi-Fi connections are prone to dangers such as hacking, password thefts and the like.

Amazing Lifehacks That Are Backed by Science
Lifehacks are truly the diamonds of laziness, but they don't have to make people lazy; they just have to make life easier, which may or may not make a person lazier. It really comes down to the person more than it does the lifehack itself. While they might be more well-known for decorative ensembles or party-going procedurals, like designing more in-home space or using a mouthwash bottle for easier vodka consumption, they don't always have to be stringent upon physical attributions. In reality, lifehacks at their heart were meant to simplify the complexity of life itself, so why shouldn't some deal with increased mental health benefits, life satisfaction, and an overall more productive attention span?
