How-to Save The Money For Literally Anything on This Planet Posted: 27 Feb 2013 12:00 AM PST “I want a hair transplant. It’s going to be expensive, but I plan on saving up all year for it.” This is what some random dude brought up to his friend at the bar one night. This guy’s plan was to work like animal and save up for a hair transplant. He was willing to do anything that it took to get the money together to finally have thick hair. Not sure how I got involved in this conversation, but I ran away the second that these guys started bragging about how hair is the key to success with women. Have some confidence and lift your chain a little higher. You don’t need beautiful hair like me to meet women. You don’t need to spend a fortune on a hair transplant to improve your confidence. However, I’m not here to judge you or to tell you what to do. It’s your life. It’s your money. I just want to help you with saving lots of money. Where am I going with this? It doesn’t matter if you want a hair transplant to improve your love life or a new car to get to your new job. I want to show you how you can afford any purchase that you want to make. I’m not going to tell you what to buy. That’s up to you. I just want you to know right now that you can have anything that you want, NOT everything that you want. You have to be willing to accept this if you want to move on. Let’s look at how you can save for any purchase on this planet… Decide what it is that you want.What does your heart desire so badly? What’s that big purchase that you want to start saving up for? A few questions to ask yourself are…
Only you will know what you really want. The point here is to pin point exactly what that is and to stick to it. You can’t have it all and you can’t be too general. If you want an iPad, just admit that you want an iPad and start shopping around. This can be anything that you want. Now you have to answer an important question once you’ve figured out what you want… Is this really affordable?Should you really be saving up for this item or experience that you have in mind? There are times where certain expenses just aren’t possible. It’s usually common sense. If you’re a graduate student or recent graduate, you might not be able to afford that Ferrari — yet! Sorry stud. If you don’t have a job or any income, then you’re going to be limited with what you can buy as well. I have two key tips if you want to totally decide if that purchase is worth it. Start looking around for prices.What are the prices like right now? Are there discounts? Do prices fluctuate? If you feel that the price of this item is something that you can slowly save up for, then go for it. If the price is always going to be way too high or if prices fluctuate, then you might want to wait a bit longer. There’s no harm in waiting. I’ve been putting off my iPad purchase for the longest time. One day I will buy one. Just not yet. Look at your other expenses.Do you have the flexibility to even start saving for this? Would your other expenses in your spending interfere too much? For example, my passion is trips. I save up for trips. I’m always saving up for my next trip, adventure, or even a one night escape. I’m realistic about this. I know that I can’t save up for much else in terms of a major expense. I’m cool with that. Will you be cool with saving up for your one major expense? Once you decide what you want and figure out that it’s affordable, it’s time to get the momentum rolling. How can I break this expense down into smaller increments?$5,000 in one shot is a lot. If you break this down over one year it’s not that much. It’s only $13.70 a day or $96.15 a week. Much more affordable. You can play around with the calculator below. Type in how much you want to save to see what your monthly goal should be. You can then break this monthly goal down to the week, day, hour, or even the minute. Every minute counts! Okay, maybe that’s a bit too far. Calculator credit - Weekly savings calculator How will you now break this expense down into smaller increments? You can automatically deduct money off your paycheck every pay period to go into a separate account or you can literally go out of your way to cut an expense/put the money into savings. What works for me? I find ways to cut out certain items from my spending. I then use this money on whatever I want to save up for. The other day I cut out a few subscriptions. Next, I’m debating on cutting down my cell phone plan because I really don’t need all of those additional features. What am I willing to cut out?What are you going to cut out of your spending? One major expense, a minor daily cost, or a delay of a purchase can really go a long way here. I love to travel and my friends know this. They know that I’m not too eager about spending money on other areas. I would much rather use my creativity to find cheaper alternatives for going out than to pretend to be a baller and go home broke. I’ve also been working on improving how much money I spend on food. It’s not good yet, but I’m getting better. I want you to cut something right now and then to immediately put this money towards your savings. Repeat this process for an extended period of time until you have enough money for that hair transplant or Ferrari. The trick is that you MUST cut something. The good news is that you don’t have to cut everything. Work towards this goal mercilessly.Now it’s time to get serious about saving up for this purchase. Cut everything out. Stop wearing condoms if you have to (just kidding of course). If you really want to make this purchase, you’ll find a way. If you don’t want it bad enough, you’ll think of excuses. The other trick is to set a clear deadline. By when do you want to have the money saved for your new iPad? Is it coming up soon? Do you have an annual trip that you want to save for? Once you have a clear purchase in mind, you can see if it’s affordable. If it’s affordable, you need to figure out how you can afford this. Then you work on cutting out the crap and being ruthless. Does this make sense? You, my friends, now have to power to save up for literally any purchase on this planet. There’s just one more step left… My challenge to you!Since you know how to save for anything on this planet, what are you going to do about it? This isn’t going to be another one of those articles where you just read, close the window, and move on with your life. I want you to take real action. I want you to open up a new savings account and put $20 towards that huge purchase. I also want you to label this account (if your bank allows you) so that you know exactly what this money is for. [Note: I do earn a commission for promoting specific bank accounts. I only promote accounts that I've heard good things about or have personally tried. At the end of the day it doesn't matter which savings account you use or if you even put this money under your bed.] What are you going to start saving for? It can be anything. Don’t be afraid to use your imagination. |
The Strange Side of Financial Claims Posted: 21 Feb 2013 02:00 AM PST The following is a guest post… If you've been injured physically or mentally, it's within your rights to claim compensation if the injury was not your fault. Sometimes the so-called 'compensation culture' goes a little too far though. Let's take a look at some of the strangest claims for compensation to date.
If you think that the above claims are strange wait until you see the recent stats on male grooming. A UK no win no fee company first4lawyers.com recently published a post showing that men are hurting themselves more frequently by male grooming techniques. The article can be found by clicking here and is definitely worth a read. |

Posted: 28 Feb 2013 04:00 AM PST Do-Ho Suh, an innovative artist that we've featuredpreviously, just unveiled this amazing sculpture at the New Orleans Museum of Art. "Karma" is a 23-foot tower of 98 men perched on each other's shoulders and obstructing each other's vision. What does it mean? |
Life in the Deepest Ocean Vents Ever Discovered Posted: 28 Feb 2013 03:00 AM PST Deep sea hydrothermal vents provide geothermal warmth to ocean water that doesn't get much warmth from the sun. These mineral-rich vents are like "the oases of the deepest ocean," and are thought to be places where many life forms -and maybe life itself- got its start.
That's over three miles down! See plenty of pictures from the expedition at io9. Link -via Daily of the Day (Image credit: National Oceanography Centre) |
Pony Portal Connects Germany and Argentina Posted: 28 Feb 2013 02:00 AM PST M99moron's clever photography project lets My Little Pony's Pinkie Pie easily escape the winter cold. He worked with ShinodaGE, the famous brony street artist based in Argentina. When you look through the German side, you can see a beach in Argentina. When you look through the Argentine side, you can see the snowdrifts of Germany. Do you want to send Pinkie Pie on more travels? At the link, you can find the template that M99moron used. Now if you'll excuse me, I must begin squealing with delight. Link -via Equestria Daily |
Scientists Uncover Invisible Motion in Video Posted: 28 Feb 2013 01:00 AM PST A team at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory have developed a computer algorithm the detects movements that are so small or subtle as to be imperceptible to human eyes. The program then amplifies these movements kinetically or by color changes to the point that we can see them in video recordings. The program is called Eulerian Video Magnification.
Some of the applications suggested for this new technology include medical diagnosis, finding oil, seeing how much a building sways, detecting lies, assessing manufacturing processes, and even determining whether a poker player is bluffing. See a video with more examples at the New York Times technology blog, Bits. Link -via Digg |

Borrowing Seeds From the Library Posted: 27 Feb 2013 02:00 PM PST

Posted: 27 Feb 2013 12:00 PM PST Even if religion isn't true, asserted writer and philosopher Alain de Botton, why can't we enjoy the best bits? To that end (and to circumvent the "boring debate between fundamentalist believers and non-believers" about religion and God), de Botton proposed in his new book "Religion for Atheists" that what atheism needs are ... temples!
With architect Tom Greenall and artist Jordan Jon Hodgson, de Botton proposed a Temple to Perspective, a 150-foot (46 m) tall black tower in the heart of the City of London. Each centimeter of the tower's height equates to one million years of life. At the bottom, there's a single line of gold - no more than a millimeter thick - that represents the entire existence of humankind. |

A Few Things You May Not Know About Seth MacFarlane Posted: 27 Feb 2013 05:00 AM PST Seth MacFarlane made quite a splash as the host of the Academy Awards Show. You'll soon know more about him, as Neatorama presents a guest post from actor, comedian, and voiceover artist Eddie Deezen. Visit Eddie at his website. (Image credit: Flickr user Gage Skidmore) Seth MacFarlane is the highest-paid talent in the history of the animation industry. He started his professional animation career writing for the Cartoon Network's various shows, including Johnny Bravo, Cow and Chicken, and Dexter's Laboratory. But he really put his name ion the animation map with the creation of his series Family Guy, which made its debut in 1999. Cancelled twice, Family Guy survived both times, and is now rightly acknowledged as one of (if not "the") funniest cartoon shows in the history of television. Seth voices several characters on the show, switching back-and-forsth from one character to another, as if possessed. |

Posted: 28 Feb 2013 08:00 AM PST Ian Waugh spotted a deer and her fawn stranded on the ice over Antigonish Harbour in Nova Scotia. He called the Department of Natural Resources, which sent a crew who decided the ice was too thin to risk sending anyone out to get the deer.

Teenager's 10-Mile Walk in the Snow to a Job Interview Lands Him a Job Posted: 28 Feb 2013 06:00 AM PST Jhaqueil Reagan, 18, has grit. Last week, he was walking to a job interview in Indianapolis--ten miles, through the snow. A local restraurant owner met him on the journey, learned what he was doing, and saw the potential for a great employee. He promptly offered Reagan a job:

Does The Sky Fall When Interest Rates Drop? Posted: 01 Mar 2013 08:04 AM PST “Interest rates have dropped! We must immediately panic and overturn the government”– said by weirdos. Recently, in Canada, RBC bought Ally Bank and decided to cut the interest rates on the savings accounts. With the interest rates down, I saw nothing but protests and complaints on Facebook/social media. I didn’t really react because I don’t have an account with them and because the interest rates were already horribly low to begin with. I always see people stressing about interest rates and small rate changes. They act like it’s the end of the world. While it does suck that a bank would disrespect you and your money by cutting the amount of money they give you, it’s not the worst thing. Does the sky really fall when interest rates drop?
I decided to do some research to see the numbers involved here with the high interest accounts being cut. I went over to the Ally Bank savings account calculator to see how the interest works and how much money you can earn off interest. What are the real numbers you can make off interest?So let’s say you have $50,000 just sitting around (totally doubt it!) and the current interest rate of 0.9% is in effect. What do you earn per year in interest? $452.03. What will $5,000 do? $45.20. So you have to put up five grand to earn $45 bucks. That’s horrible if you ask me. Only $45 for that much money is insane. You could do so much more with five big ones. A savings account is a great place to store your money and to hide it. It’s not a great place to make money on your money. This then leads to an important topic that I love to cover on here… Where can you keep your money?Where should I invest my money? I have a bunch of savings and I don't know where to put the money? I’ve received a version of one of those questions many times through text message, Facebook inbox, Twitter DM, drunken chat in person or blog comment. Savings account.Yes, interest rates suck. However, there's nothing wrong with being boring. I’ve kept my money in a savings account recently because I love the liquidity and I’ve been more focused on investing in myself. If you’re not sure with what you want to do with your money, but you just want to save it, I would recommend a savings account for now. Invest the money.You can always invest in the stock market. Check out my piece where I look at how the stock market works. If you want to get started, you should read about stock trading tools that I’ve covered. You can get started today if you’re not afraid to take on some risks. Those articles give you more than enough information to get started. Enjoy experiences that life has to offer.One of my long-time readers had just finished school with some savings and he had a job lined up already. I suggested to him that the best move to make would be to just to go on a once-in-a-lifetime sort of trip. We can help you plan your next adventure. I actually highly recommend that every young person goes on an epic adventure or at least on a trip where they drink themselves silly while meeting new people. If you have some money saved and have always wanted to do this, now is the best time. Don’t wait until you’re older because something will always get in the way. This is when you’re the most free. Not when you get a full-time job or when you’re about to get married. How do you allocate your money? You invest in anywhere fun? |

The True-Life Horror that Inspired Moby-Dick Posted: 01 Mar 2013 07:00 PM PST In November of 1820, a seafaring expedition went all wrong when a whale repeatedly attacked and sank the whaling ship the Essex.
