Stash more of your cashWhen it comes to saving money, the tried and true methods of budgeting often prove to be most effective. Whether it be depositing loose change into a money jar or committing to the "envelope system" every month, I think it is safe to say we've all learned a thing or two about penny-pinching from the generations that came before us.

Another old-fashioned trick that's regaining popularity? The "Five Dollar Savings Plan." The plan itself couldn't be simpler - every $5 bill that comes your way goes into a special shoebox or coffee can, preferably stored in a place that won't tempt you to dip in when you need a little cash. After an allotted amount of time, count your $5 collection and prepare to be shocked by how much the stash adds up to!

People young and old swear by this plan for several reasons. A big one? The unexpected pay out. While this plan follows the same basic structure as saving coins in jar, the $5 bills add up with satisfying speed.

You have the perfect job. The one you always wanted-in an exciting industry, for a big name company, with a title that says you get to do what you love all day long. Except for that-well, you hate it.

Realizing that your "dream job" has become a nightmare is as heart-wrenching as breaking up with someone you were once in love with. And speaking from experience, the grieving and recovery process is almost the same. From one broken-hearted working girl to another, here's an honest look at what happens when you realize that your love affair with your job is over-and more importantly, how to rebound.

The Honeymoon Phase

Remember when you started dating your first love-the googly eyes, gushy talk, pet names, and long days spent together? Not only could you two not keep your hands off of each other, but that person could do no wrong. His quirks were cute, his pet peeves funny, and when he slurped his tea, well, that was just adorable.

woman upset at desk You come into work 15 minutes early every day. You do everything that's asked of you (with a smile, no less), and you're a team player. So why haven't you gotten that promotion? It might be because you're female. No, the male higher-ups aren't necessarily sexist. It turns out that women are more prone than male colleagues to engage in career-sabotaging workplace behaviors. Check out these 10 little habits that may be keeping you down on the corporate ladder.

1. You take care of others first.

Your colleague leans over your cubicle wall and says, "I can't format this table. Can you look?" It might take only a few minutes, but consider how much you help coworkers each week-you're probably losing valuable time for your own tasks. Men are more likely than women to prioritize their work over others', which can make them appear more productive. While there's value in being helpful, your individual accomplishments matter more at work. Cindy Burns, the director

Take a Moment to Process It
If you're stuck at work for a while, head to the bathroom and take a moment to be upset (although if you feel like you're going to cry, hit up a bathroom on another floor so your coworkers don't catch you). Remind yourself that it's just a setback, and in a month, it'll be easier to deal with.

Dole Out Congrats
Yeah, it's hard to be amped for someone else when you feel like you got sucker-punched, but people will be looking to see how you react to the news. So if a coworker got a promotion that you felt like you deserved, swing by her desk to say congrats. Feel like you can't be sincere face-to-face? Write her an
