I never thought it mattered, but I had terrible back pain for weeks until I slept in a mattress at a Hyatt hotel and woke up feeling reborn. It costs a fortune but I am thinking of buying one.

Being socially adept will serve you better in life than plain intelligence. I'm a straight-A girl but have been held back by my anxiety and nervousness. Also: Don't rush to do it all by 25. Many people lose 10 years after that anyway.

I'm a couponer, and have definitely found myself spending way too much time planning how to save money - though I have saved enormous amounts. Like, my food bill went from $700 per month to $100. Addictive. But yes, much of it was processed. I don't hugely stockpile like these people but do have a mini-pile of say, cake mix (5) and cheese, frozen (10). Stuff I really use. However Whole Foods has coupons and so (maybe?) does Trader Joes; see: healthylifedeals.com. I am going to start trying that instead. I just saw that those blue chips are $1 per bag at Whole Foods and my inner couponer is excited.
