your-money

This past year has been one of the busiest of my career. While the work has been rewarding, I’ve developed some bad habits. I routinely sit at my desk for up to 12 hours a day to finish a job and I work on weekends, leaving my husband with the kids while I toil away in our home office.

Remember this guy who bought a box of unpublished photos of Marilyn Monroe at a garage sale for $2? Or this guy who walked away with what looks like an early Andy Warhol painting at a yard sale for $5?

The other day I was sitting in my car at a downtown intersection waiting for the light to turn green. That's when I saw a flash of red — a twentysomething woman was crossing the street in sky-high black pumps with red soles.

With two small kids, we're always doing laundry at our house. When I was single, I only did laundry once a week and never really thought about the cost per load. But when you start to do it all the time, you see how it really adds up.
