In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Don't bow to peer pressure by feeling that you need to buy the latest fashions or newest gadgets. Think about whether the instant gratification that some of these items will give you are worth the dent in your savings account. This will also help you start to rethink your relationship with material goods. If you want to buy some music, download 1-2 songs, rather than the entire album. For other items, do some price comparisons between stores, or between stores and online prices. You might find that you can save money by shopping around. If you need to use your spending money to buy clothes, books, and so on, buy used items rather than brand new items. Alternately, wait for sales to buy things that you really want, such as around holidays or at the end of the season. If you want to buy something, wait a week before buying it. This will give you time to reconsider if you really need the item. Chances are you'll find that you'd rather keep the money for your car.
Summary: Consider what's most important. Choose less expensive alternatives. Buy used items or items on sale. Refrain from buying on impulse.

This works best with a mug you don't want that isn't stained or too personal. No one wants to receive a coffee stained mug that is labeled with your name (unless they share the same name). Put candy or some other gift, like a gift card, inside of a clean mug. Wrap a ribbon around the mug and give it as a small gift to someone from work, school, or to a friend. Maybe you received that mug that says #1 Dad twenty years ago, but you can't bear to part with it. A coffee mug also makes a great pencil or pen holder for your desk. Enjoy the sentimental value while organizing your office space. If you have a lot of mugs that need reusing, you can store office or crafting supplies like staples and paperclips inside of them. Never use your partner's toothbrush by accident again by using an old mug to separate toiletries. You can also store your toothbrush and toothpaste in one mug and keep things like your hairbrush and razor in another. Be sure to put the mugs in a place where they won't be easily knocked over by a sleepy person early in the morning. Use your old mugs for something practical and decorative. You just need three mugs, an adhesive, and a piece of wood. This works especially well if the three mugs match, but it's not definitely not necessary. Evenly space the mugs on the wood, attach them, and hang up your work wherever you'd like. You can store things like towels, keys, or whatever you want in them. Make sure the coffee mugs are secured really well before hanging the piece up, or you may accidentally end up with material for a mosaic.

One-sentence summary -- Use the mug as a gift holder. Use the old coffee mugs to store pencils and pens. Store your toiletries in a mug. Make a storage unit with three mugs and a piece of wood.

Q: If you find a thin, rectangular slot into which your memory card will fit on your computer, you can insert the memory card without an adapter. If you do find a memory card slot on your computer, skip the next step. Chances are high that your computer doesn't have a memory card slot, so you'll need to use a USB memory card adapter. If your Mac doesn't have USB 3.0 ports, you'll need to buy a USB 3.0 to USB-C adapter into which you can plug your SD card adapter as well. Memory card adapters can usually support both standard SD cards and microSD cards, though you may need a separate one for larger, non-SD cards. Plug your memory card's adapter into one of your computer's USB ports. If a window on your computer opens when you do this, you can close it. If you're using a USB-C adapter, plug it into one of your Mac's USB-C ports first, then plug the memory card adapter into the USB 3.0 port on the other end of the USB-C adapter. If your computer has a memory card slot, make sure that the memory card's label is face-up (gold connector side-down), then push the memory card into your computer angled side first. Click the Spotlight icon, which resembles a magnifying glass, in the top-right corner of the screen. Type disk utility into Spotlight, then double-click Disk Utility in the resulting menu. Click the name of your memory card in the upper-left side of the Disk Utility window to do so. This tab is at the top of the Disk Utility window. A pop-up window will appear. It's in the middle of the window. Doing so prompts a drop-down menu. Click one of the formats in the drop-down box: MacOS Extended (Journaled) Formats your memory card for use with macOS only. You'll see other MacOS Extended options here (e.g., MacOS Extended (Journaled, Encrypted)). These options are also usable on a Mac. MS-DOS (FAT) Formats your memory card for FAT, which has a 4 GB file size limit but can run on most platforms. ExFAT Formats your memory card for use with most platforms. You may see additional options in the "Format" menu as well. It's a blue button at the bottom of the window. This allows your Mac to begin formatting your memory card. The formatting process can take anywhere from a few seconds to several hours depending on the card's size and your computer's speed.

Problem: Article: Build your own website or post on online pages such as Craigslist. Specify in your advertisement what types of jobs you can do (home repairs, plumbing, electrical work, yard work, cleaning etc.), what you charge, and when you are available. Provide multiple ways to contact you. If you can be reached by both phone and email, you might have a better chance at getting work. Speak to nearby friends and neighbors first. Tell them that you need money and are willing to do light housework and yard work in the area. Ask them to tell their friends and neighbors too, and recommend your services. Your neighbors and friends may very well end up being your first customers. Be sure to tell them to spread the word that you do good work when you're finished. The main reason someone might consider hiring you over a professional service is that you're a lot less expensive. Ask for a small amount of money that you can live with, rather than a large sum. A good way to estimate what to ask for is to set a low hourly rate, say $8 or $10. Also, prorate your work to the nearest half hour. In other words, if you work for 6 hours and 33 minutes, just bill for 6 hours and 30 minutes. That keeps things simple. Dress in clean clothes and smile when people answer their doors. Offer a handshake when you introduce yourself. Make eye contact. Be sure to describe exactly what types of services you offer, whether its small home maintenance, yard work, cleaning etc. Be willing to do jobs on weekends and evenings. Return calls and job offers quickly and promptly. If you have specialized equipment you can bring, such as a toolbox for house repairs or a rake for leaves and grass, bring it with you. Heavier items like ladders and lawnmowers can be left at home, but be sure to mention you have access to your own. Don't accept jobs that you don't have the equipment to complete.
Summary:
Advertise your services. Build your potential customer base. Charge reasonable rates for your work. Act professionally. Bring your own equipment.
