I always joke with my friends that I love the snow. Yes, I love it so long as I am inside with a blanket and a hot steamy beverage and I can watch it out the window. I sometimes think I am part bear, because my preference would be to stay…

Some people can easily spend hours upon hours at their workstation every day. There tends to be a misconception floating around that working at a desk doesn’t involve any serious health issues. This is just plain wrong. The truth is that you can do serious damage to joints and muscles if your work station is not ergonomically correct.

In the process, I managed to garner some fantastic information on how to save cash no matter what your age may be.
