How to Live Like You're Rich...When You're Not!
Could you raise a family on 40-grand and feel like you're rich? Special education teacher Danny Krofke, a father of two, says his family of four lives well on 40-grand, and even wrote a how-to book for the rest of us. The secrets:
LONG TERM PLANNING! Krofke and his wife managed to live off his salary before having kids, while using hers to pay off debt and establish an emergency fund.
How you know you're doing it right: Broke people make fun of you and laugh at your ways. "Many people told me to get off my wallet and spend money."
Hardest financial rule to follow: Living below your means with so many temptations. Solution: Allow yourself a 24-hour breather before buying. After a day, if you still feel like you need it, talk about it with your spouse.
What to teach your kids: Work gets rewarded. Give your kids an allowance for chores completed every week. After they get the dough, pull out three jars and put some money in a Give Away jar, a Savings jar and Spending jar. Give away 10%, save 25% and spend the remainder.

Gotta See This
Meet Fizz Girl, the record holder for being the world's shortest cat. But she doesn't care... because she's a cat.
Cool escape. If you have 60 seconds, why not take a trip over planet earth. Time lapse video from the International Space Station shows a trip around earth in one minute. Note all the thunderstorms.
Joke of the Day
A rabbit walked into a restaurant with a lion. The waiter seats them and asks the rabbit, "What will you have?"
The rabbit says bring me a half a head of lettuce.
The waiter looks at the lion and says; and what will he have?
The rabbit says "The lion?" he's not eating".
The waiter says "why? Isn’t he hungry?" Then the rabbit says "if he was hungry do you think I'd be here?"
Surf This!
The ultimate in shallow. Judg.me asks you to judge a person's intelligence by a quick glance at their face. Look at the photo, and then rate their brain power along with their social skills.
