How to Say No When a Sibling Asks for Money

Prairie Eco-Thrifter

Don’t forget to enter to win an iPad 3 here at PET. Only 1 day left. We are raised by parents to be nice to our brothers and sisters, to care for them and about them and to share with them – after all, they are family. But what if you have a sibling that for one reason or another, repeatedly requests financial help. Whether or not you can give it, or even should give it – you feel guilty if you do not.

McDonald’s vs. Fresh Foods: Which is Cheaper?

Saving With Shellie

A friend of mine on Facebook shared this interesting graphic done by the New York Times. It compares McDonald’s prices to Home-Cooked Meal prices. I find this really interesting. As you know America has an obesity epidemic. One major reason for that is people (wrongly) assume that fast food is cheaper than healthy food. One of the main arguments people give for just getting Fast Food is that it is cheaper and quicker than cooking at home.

Last month, I ran the Boston Marathon. It was my 29 th marathon , and it was one of my best running experiences to date despite the fact that I ended up severely injuring my IT band. How is it possible that I could enjoy such a painful experience and still be motivated to run Chicago in October? For me, it’s all about my training plan. Specifically, a training plan that I’ve honed over the years that incorporates one unconventional focus: Fun!
