http://www.getrichslowly.org

The advertising crash diet is a way of purposefully reducing the advertising to which we're exposed. This includes e-mail, television, magazines, radio, and, at the end of the week, billboards. The point is to reduce sound and sight clutter from loud commercials, obnoxious jingles, and spam in all its forms.

Does money buy happiness? In short, yes

http://www.brunetteonabudget.com

There's some questions that never fail to inspire heated discussion as they pass down through the ages. Does money buy happiness? What is the meaning of life? Why does Sinead O'Connor own a blow dryer?

We may never know the answers to the latter two inquiries, but the first always elicits one of two responses: either a "yes" or "no." It seems like many are on the "no" boat, especially those of us that don't have a lot of money to begin with. It's as if by answering "no," we somehow feel emotionally richer, and above someone who would even think to answer "yes." There's solace in at least feeling "rich" in that way.
