Tip #2

A lesson from the homeless

This is less a tip on how to save money and more a tip on what to do when you find yourself in an inconvenient situation. One evening last fall I found myself in a pinch. I was wearing a spring/ fall jacket and the temperature outside had taken a plunge with nightfall. I found myself to be more than just a bit cool while I waited for the late bus, in fact I was freezing. I was tired and cold and it hit the point where I just didn't care how I looked. Luckily I had a copy of our terrible school newspaper on me, so I began stuffing my jacket (as I think every homeless character in every movie does). I was amazed by its efficiency. So if your ever stuck without the right coat on you know what to do. You may get weird looks but it beats dishing out the money for a cab instead of waiting for the bus. Your wallet will thank you.
