"We thought our economics professor at the University of South Carolina in Columbia was eccentric because he brought a tennis ball to every class, placing it on the podium and collecting it after each lecture. One day mid-semester, he noticed that a student about seven rows back had dozed off. Abruptly stopping his talk, the professor tossed the ball at the sleeping student and woke him up. 'Nobody, but nobody sleeps in my economics class!' he said. He was right about that. Next class, he showed up with a baseball." If you know this professor, let us know.

If you are like most Americans today, spontaneous spending is nothing new. While many of us say we "need" this or that, what we really mean is we want it. Because of this attitude, Americans owe more than $200 billion in credit card debt alone. Personal bankruptcies have tripled since 1980 with more than 600,000 people filing each year. Here are a few tips United Way has devised to help you get the most out of your money: Write letters instead of calling. Use glass instead of paper cups. Pack a lunch instead of eating out ? it can save you $100 a month.
