Keeping the Change

With this program with every dollar that you save the government will add in another dollar along with a non profit organization that will contribute one dollar to every dollar saved. One example that the article gives of how this money saving program can help you in these difficult economic is Utuma Belfrey. This woman is a single mom with there kids in the pricey town of San Francisco. She put aside $2,000 in one year on an income of less than $35,000. After getting caught up in a drive by shooting she couldnt work fulltime and this was the best option.

The article is all about helping people to fine easier way's to save money. I personally think that this program would be a fantastic idea. If a single mother with three kids can do it anyone can do it. This program is basically offering you free money if you can be a little more thrifty with the money you already own.

College Roommates

In this article  it discusses some of the perks and set-backs to having a college roommate. For example some of the set-backs can be that they leave the light on at night making it difficult for you to fall asleep, you not getting along with them, or just simple things like eating each other's food. Although having a college roommate isnt all bad. Here are some of the perks listed in the article. You have someone you know you can count on every night, if you get along it could lead to a very good friendship, and you always have someone looking out for you at the end of the day.

In my opinion having a roommate would be alright. Having a roommate be somebody I didnt know would be even better because that way I could make a new friend and get introduced to some of their friends and their cute "girl" friends. Oh yeah. Plus if he plays guitar or somethin we could jam.
