How gorgeous was today?? Got a nice run in the park and ran some errands. Just a great day in general with a fun night out. Which brings me to the first part in my 146-Part Series, "How to Save Money While Unemployed." Now, this is pretty mind blowing and innovative; but if you have an open mind, I guarantee you will thank me for it.
Ready? Tip #1: Take the subway instead of a cab at night. Yes, that's right..at night! I like taking the subway during the day (it's faster, cheaper, and more fun to people watch) but for some reason, I always thought that after 10PM, the subway system travels back to 1975 when there was graffiti on the walls and no air conditioning. I know- so irrational right? On Saturday, I took the subway at 9PM down to the WV for $2.25 and got there in 10 minutes. I left the bar around 1AM and took the train back. To my surprise, the station was filled with people... not empty except for a shady looking homeless person staring at me in the corner like I expected. So instead of paying $25 in cab fare, I paid $2.25 x 2 for my round trip on the subway. I was pleased.
Think this tip is obvious? Well, why do we still need Oprah to tell us that fast food is bad for us and that Dr. Oz is the man? We already know this as fact! Why are there a zillion fitness magazines telling us the same thing: that walking is good for us? Duh! So, just as we re-read to death all this information that is already so blatantly obvious, I reiterate: taking the subway at night saves you money. Also, sleeping and drinking water are surprisingly beneficial to your health! I was so misguided in thinking that all you needed was a good ole' three-day coke and vodka bender to get you feeling refreshed and healthy!
