Who doesn't want to be their own boss? Every day we fear for the loss of our jobs, the lay off of a friend, or a flickering red minus sign on our Bloomberg screens.

The expenses that come with starting your own business. WSJ estimates that "you

Hell, how does one decide between dating a lawyer or a doctor?Decisions make up every second of our short, precious lives on this planet. We agonize over decisions we've made, asking ourselves if we picked the right choice. We flood our minds with "what if" or "i should have". And where does this leave us? We're

Would you classify yourself as rich if you were earning $250,000/year, driving an Infiniti, and taking vacations on the beach? While some of you may think that's a large sum of money, others may think differently. A recent WSJ article tries to clarify the "wealth effect" and states that "depending on where they live and the lifestyle choices they have made, they don't necessarily feel rich". This

My first goal after graduation was to get an apartment, move into a big city, and live in an area with all the action. I definitely accomplished that goal without giving much thought to it.Here's what I did: A few months before graduation, I leased an apartment. I signed a 1 year lease for a downtown $1300/mo 1 bedroom apartment. Exciting, right? For a while.Here's what happened: A few months

About 20 days until the Class of 2009 throws their caps in the air and catches their diplomas in return. While talking to some of these 2009 graduates, I learned that many of them don't have jobs lined up. They're returning to the cozy home of their parents to...umm...play PS3?As much we know you love your parents, let's fix this situation. Here are some tricks that helped me land not one, but

With commencement weekend (shout out to Terriers 09) only weeks away, the number one thing on the minds of many proud graduates, besides nights of boozing, is having to pay for things on our own! Gas, rent, credit cards...too many things to count!If you take away anything from this reading, I want you to remember this: negotiate everything. I used to hate it, until I started running low on cash.

Since none of us can predict what will happen in the future (if someone out there can, contact me immediately), we need to plan for every possible situation. Now this doesn't mean having to put aside an extra $250 to feed your blackjack habit, but saving for the important events of one's life.For example, here are few major events that may come up in one's life:Marriage- Leads to buying a home-

Ever wonder where all that money you had went? I asked myself the same question when I came home on Sunday night after a great weekend out. I spent close to $250 in one weekend!! What? How? Where'd it go? I could not recall what I had spent that money on! Well, a few tequila shots in midtown, but where's the other $200?? My friend had a similar - much larger - problem. She'd come home with a
