What is going on with my back and knees?
Note to readers: I'm sorry that I didn't continue writing the day after. Having to relive this nightmare through my blog gave me such stress that my whole body ached. I'll try to be more active in the future.
Now to continue .....

I just learned about a new app that earns you more Swagbucks! If you have an Android phone or tablet, search the Google Play Store for EntertaiNow. It's similar to SBTV Mobile.
How much can you earn with this app? Up to 90 Swagbucks a day, if you earn 90 a day, in months with 30 days you will earn 2700 extra Swagbucks.

I haven't posted in a very long time. Sorry to those who may have missed me and my posts.
I've decided to change the format from unemployment to tips on saving money even though you may still be unemployed, or even have a job but it pays less than what you were used to making. I've saved and continue to save during hard times, and YOU CAN TOO!
