Vacation Tips

Go right now, before airline rates go up


Check your hotel receipt for hidden charges like:


Resort, bellman, minibar, and room service charges.


If you weren't told about these charges, you have a right to dispute them


Travel insurance should be bought if your going on a 5,000 dollar cruise,but not if you're buying a  cheap ticket. Don't buy insurance from the cruise line, buy it from a third party.

Things you should avoid this summer

Going to the salon for a pedicure

Nail salons are filled with germs and some can be transmitted when a pedicure is performed, better to buy a pedicure at home kit. DO NOT shave the day of the pedicure!



Going to the beach

A lot of tests have found MRSA in beach water. If you must go, cover your bruises and cuts with bandages, then take off as much sand as you can from yourself, then take a shower, and wash the clothes immediately do not put them in the laundry hamper.

Money Advice & Earthquake Safety

NEVER EVER lend money out! People I know have lent out money to family, friends, co-workers, etc. and they've either never gotten paid back or it took years for them to get their money back.


In case of an earthquake, don't go underneath chairs, desks, or anything. Better to lie down in fetal position next to chairs,desks, or anything. Because if you go underneath these things, you will get squashed.
