Thank you for this. I’ve been a vegetarian since junior high. People always hounded me with “protein, protein, protein”. When I finally sat down and measured it when I got to college, I saw that I was consuming around 120g per day. For a 130lb woman. Yeah, way too much!

I’m graduating this weekend. I have about $200 a month in flexible money after eating OK and paying the bills. What is a smarter focus: 45K in student debt at 2-5% interest, or setting up an IRA? I’m married with no dependents.

The party supplies are great. I’m graduating this weekend. I’ve gotten plates, silverware, tablecloths, napkins, decorations, and cups for 50 people for less than $20. The plates probably wouldn’t hold up for baked beans or something wet like that but they are perfect for burgers.

last summer my landlord was raising my rent by $50 a month. I told her that would be just fine if we could find a way to decrease my electric bill. She replaced my dryer from 1981 with a new base model. Electric is down about $7 and i don’t worry about the clothes combusting. If she wants to raise it again this summer…

I need mixing bowls. My parents have a set that’s about 40 years old. Solid metal. Still in perfect shape. I want ones just like them but can only seem to find thin crap!

mine helps me feel more motivated. I can get home and realize I’m just a little bit short of my steps so I hop on my treadmill. I also compete with friends who hae the same tracker

My biggest concern is getting a precise dosage. At least with regular prescriptions I know exactly what I’m taking.

I’d like to suggest Chrononauts. http://www.amazon.com/Looney-Labs-00…

I bought a bag by swiss gear 7 years ago in High School. I’m graduating college in a few weeks and it is still in perfect condition.

I’m a med student with an anxiety disorder (I know). I’m getting one of these. My fit bit has been a life saver for me. Whenever I feel like my heart rate is too high, I can check. It’s usually fine and when it’s not I can visibly see the numbers go down as I meditate. Devices like this give me some feeling of…

Is there a removable version? I’m in a super outdated apartment. I would love to update my kitchen in a way that I can reverse when I move.

I might want to try soylent as an option for when I’m on call. I pack protein powder but it’s not enough for total nutrients.

I want to do the shots for my bee sting allergy but my insurance won’t cover them. I guess they are hoping to pass it over to my life insurance..

Yeah humus and crackers is $3. A bagel is $1. There are ready to go oatmeal things for $2. Most of this is full of salt and sugar. My food budget is $130 for two adults. That $40 a month or so takes a big chunk out. Today I packed a pbj but I can’t live off those everyday!

My most difficult one is small food items. I work full time and I’m a full time student. It’s hard not to grab a bagel or some humus and chips between classes. I’ve gotten better at packing a thermos and tea so I can just get hot water but it’s hard to pack snacks. I think I’m spending about $10 a week on between…

We have suddenly started making a little bit of surplus (yay!). We readjusted budgets yesterday. We each have a personal account and we have one joint. We made a minimum budget. This is the first time that we are not pay check to pay check. We are about 500 above. The plan is to put a quarter of any excess into…

I have a set of these and I adore them. http://www.worldmarket.com/category/dinin…

That’s what I do. I got a $200 Christmas bonus this year. I spent half on a nice date with my husband and the other half was used for our regular expenses.

I was buying a used car privatly about 2 years ago. I refused to even come look at a car if the seller wouldn’t let me take it to my mechanic. The one I ended up buying was being sold by another college student. I bought her a slice of pizza next to the mechanic’s while we waited.

I have that vacuum and I love it. I have to charge it maybe once a month. It’s fantastic.
