Post-graduate students make on average $75,000 a year compared to high school graduates, who usually peak out around $31,000. This is according to an article that explains why going back to school is one of the best ways to increase your earning power in the job market. Recessions typically don’t last very long compared to the long-term benefits that a solid education can have on your potential ability to command a higher salary than your bong-smoking counterparts that choose to ’screw the system’ and do nothing about their current situation.
The zaniness continues as D.J. tests the limits of my tolerance (and yours) with a complete disregard for the sanctity of a locked bathroom. Could this be the final straw or will D.J. tug at my heart or guitar strings to help make light of the situation?
Hey all. D.J. and I have prepared a little treat for you of a behind-the-scenes look at the making of an episode of Two Guys Living Together. This was recorded on a laptop webcam and uploaded straight to YouTube. Hopefully soon we’ll be able to incorporate live streaming with a chat function so you guys can suggest things to put right into the episode live! Your suggestions could very well make it into the final cut of one of our episodes! Leave me a comment below if you think this a good idea.
This is Part 2 of my interview with Angel of LoveCry. She sheds some light on the current state of humanity, plus some of her opinions inprovements to already existing charitable organizations. She shows us how through just the efforts of a few volunteers, most of them street kids, they managed to build a back porch for the charity. I’d like to thank Angel for volunteering her time and being a great example of how you can stretch your dollar as far as it can go.
I vistited Love Cry, a charitable organization, that makes due despite the recession and not having paid workers. Everyone who’s there wants to be there because they were either homeless themselves to start with, or had some first hand experience with abuse or poverty. While this may not be the latest Harry Potter movie, this place weaves a kind of magic that Harry Potter or even David Copperfield himself would appreciate because, at LoveCry, they seem to create something out of nothing. That is, a life where before there was none and a sense of responsibility to the world. If guys like Barack Obama and Stephen Harper owe much of the success of their campaigns to volunteer work, it’s short work to know that charities like Love Cry can benefit even more so.
I will post Part 2 of this fascinating interview tomorrow, so stay tuned!
This has not been a great week for me. Bills seem to keep piling up, looking for a second job has all but destroyed my faith in the online job application process (do those applications disappear into some dark vortex?) and worst of all, I feel like I’m the only one in a veritable storm of uncertainty.

I just cancelled my gym membership. It’s part of my policy in trimming down my finances, but I’m not going to let that work against my ongoing task of trimming down my already close to perfection physique. Ok, that’s an outright lie–I haven’t used the membership during most of the contract and I’m ashamed to say I already had weights at home that I could have been using this whole time. (more…)
I call this chic, new look I’m sporting caffeine-deprived blogger. This video will show you just how even the half-living can pay a bill or buy something with the Vanilla Mastercard, which offers, essentially worry-free purchase power to anyone whose limit is at the max, but they still need the convenience of paying for something with a credit card. Most of these cards operate like gift cards, in that you just buy one and go and pay for your stuff. No bills, so no need to hide them from the wife.
I just hopped out of bed and turned the camera on, right after paying a bill. Proof that you need to be less than coherent to use the thing. Now, if only it could do the laundry…
The other day I was driving down a residential street when suddenly the car started to shudder. At first I thought I had hit a bumpy patch of road, but something told me to pull over. As I slowed down and pulled towards the curve, the car jolted and I heard the screeching sound. One of my tires seemed to want to break. I had to fight the steering wheel, but luckily I had stoppped by then. I jumped out (after checking traffic, of course) and went to look after the source of the noise. (more…)
rachel plan weekly meals and buy whatever you can in bulk,hands wash your clothes when ever you can and grow a garden or if you have a family member that has a garden ask if you can get some fresh veggies when there ready to come out
Derekp I think i’ve seen this somewhere before…but it’s not bad at all
Rath You have a decent blog here. I would encourage you to keep writing and posting as often as you are inspired to do so. In the long run, it will really pay off as more and more people will begin to visit, read and refer others. ProExtender

lasierra great blog! I’m glad I finally found a decent blog that I liked. Just subscribed to the feed and looking forward to future updates.
Theresa Waste less food by taking more trips to the grocery store, but buy less. Plan fresh meals ahead, buy what you need when you need it. Also, frequent local markets for great deals!
