How to Survive Being Broke (You remember college, don't you?)

10 Tips for Weathering the Recession:

1. Drink Dunkin' Donuts - their logo AND their coffee is better than Starbucks, oh, and you'll save a couple bucks on every cup.

2. Go Green - cut out trips to the gas station and bike to work - you'll get a morning workout and a tan.

3. Hold That Gym Membership - see 2.

4. Get on a Family Plan - just because you're 25 doesn't mean you can't still be on your family's wireless plan. it's cheaper for you and for them.

4. Brown Bag It - PBJ all the way.

6. Thank PBR - at most bars for $2 a can, why would you even order drinks w/ house liquor at 3x the price?

7. Shop Thrifty - think of it this way, you know how it always takes a few washes to get your shirt soft and well fitted? well, someone's already taken care of that part for you.

8. On Demand - before the days of on-demand and Netflix's 'Watch Instantly' you might have felt the need to go to a movie theater, but who doesn't like watching a movie in the comfort of their own home. Bonus: See 6.

9. Companionship - free entertainment.

10. Work more - brown nose if you have to, just avoid losing your job at all costs!
