Women will make the most money in these six US states

It’s been often said that women earn anywhere from 60%-80% of what a man’s salary is in the exact same position.

And while that particular line item has been debunked as being a gender rule and more along the lines of what happens when you look at overall averages and neglect to take into account that women temporarily leave the workforce to raise a family for a portion of the time that men continue to earn money — there is still some truth that some women do earn less than some men in particular careers.

Which university has the highest tuition?

Did you go to college (or, if you’re a snob, “university”)?

If you did, who paid for your tuition? Were your parents able to take on a second mortgage and foot the bill for your four … or five… year stint? Did you cover the cost yourself?

Student loans are awful, there’s no doubt about it. But have you ever wondered if maybe you had attended a different, lower priced, school to get the same degree, that having that extra cushion of money available would have made a difference in your post-collegiate life?

There’s a lot of money in asteroids.

The problem, as Bruce Willis showed us, is getting the money out of them.

Sure, we could wait until they hit Earth, where we could more easily pick them apart… but if you recall what happened in THE BLOB when the asteroid landed at the movie theater, nothing good ever comes when an asteroid hits Earth.

Another sign that streaming music royalty payments stink

It almost doesn’t pay to be a musician these days.

We’ll take that back and rephrase: it LITERALLY doesn’t pay to be a musician these days. And yes, we are using the word “literally” correctly in that sentence..

With more and more businesses deciding to hop onto the STREAMING MUSIC bandwagon, one would think that the greater exposure would result in greater earnings for the musicians and songwriters who are getting their music spread far and wide.

20 Ways to Save a TON of Money (and survive living on a budget)

Post author By web gangsta
Post date January 14, 2014

Living on a budget is one of those things that everybody should do at least once in their lives.

Clearly, college students have figured this out. They know where all the cheap beer is, what bars do free food at happy hour, and how many weekend meals you can get out of a single large pizza delivered at 2a on a Friday night.

For college kids, frugality is necessity.

And then they get their first job out of college and a paycheck, and it all goes to hell, racking up tens of thousands of dollars in credit card debt, never to be able to take a real vacation ever again.
