About The No-Spend Zone
You may like the club life and spend a hefty percentage of your paycheck entertaining yourself. You may at least admit to coveting the iPhone or Nintendo's Wii.
But that doesn't mean you aren't interested in an economic tune-up. After all, if you save and don't fritter away your pay, then you'll have money for the things that really matter.
The No-Spend Zone is a rotating stable of bloggers who come at personal finance in a new and edgier way. Are there personal finance issues you'd like to see our bloggers cover? Send your ideas to Mimi Whitefield at mwhitefield@MiamiHerald.com
About Heavy Thrifting
Brayden Simms has recently been notified he will soon be laid off from The Miami Herald, where he spent approximately four years jumping from department to department, editing, designing, producing for online, and now, most importantly, blogging. The Florida State grad's lifestyle might be described as late post-college, but now that he's turned 26 - with his job suddenly pulled out from under him - he knows it's time to start making smart financial decisions.
