As if wedding season alone isn’t enough to give you a nervous breakdown. Between angsting over who to bring as your plus one, unfortunate looking bridesmaid dresses, awkward family and friend tension, it’s no wonder you sometimes have to remind yourself that yes, this is a joyous occasion. 

Oh, and then there’s the gift.  To mitigate that source of anxiety, tell the happy couple to go register at MyRegistry.com, the first global registry that allows users to add items from literally any store in the world, whether it’s located online or in Brazil.

Hey, we all want to save money, but over inflating tires, driving too close to traffic coming in the opposite direction and tailgating trucks - some of the more extreme practices of hyper-miling - may exact its own cost, as in your life.

With gas at or above $4 a gallon, more and more drivers are investigating getting the most out of every drop of fuel, also known as hyper-miling.

How do you trade the things you don’t want for things you do? As in how do you exchange that set of very expensive presidential biographies you bought for your now ex-boyfriend to inspire him to read? It’s not like you need a second set of them.

To purge yourself of the bad memories they conjure up, go to SwapTree.com, a site where you can trade books, music, movies, and videos that you don’t want, for the books, CDs, DVDs, videos that you do want. 

No one said saving money was going to be easy. But just because it takes a little effort doesn’t mean it has to be unpleasant.

As a matter of fact, done successfully, saving money is rewarding, empowering and uplifting – all of which are powerful tools to combat the type of doldrums a bad economy can produce.
