      It's a frugal girl's idea of the ultimate shopping experience. Hitting garage sales or "Yard Sailing," as it's called by the pros, is a great way to find items at rock bottom prices.

      I'm sure you've heard the slogan "Buy used and save the difference," made popular the Duggar Family on their aptly titled TV show, "      19 Kids and Counting."

      Well, you don't need a brood of 19+ to live by that motto. By following these simple yard sale tips you can make the most of your outdoor shopping experience.

      6 Tips for Sucesssful Garage Sale Shopping

      1. The Plan of Attack
      The first step is to find out WHERE the sales are happening. A great source of information is your city's list of garage sale permits. They are usually displayed somewhere at city hall or on the community bulletin board. Figuring out where the garage sales are by looking at the permits is a great place to start.

      Here are 10 thrifty ideas for smart ways to spend more without feeling guilty.

      There is a fine line between miser and smart spender. As your accounts grow in size and decimal places, there are several key purchases that may increase your quality of life - and even save you some cash in the process!

      A range of experts shared advice for items that savvy investors should buy in order to climb the ladder and accumulate wealth while also increasing day-to-day enjoyment.

      Here are 10 thrifty ideas for smart ways to spend more without feeling guilty:

      Hire Some Help

      Time is money. If your hourly income is more than what you would pay for someone else to clean the house, walk the dog or mow the lawn, then hiring some help makes financial sense.
      Jennifer Litwin, an author and consumer reporter, added that grocery delivery can be a big-time saver. Litwin listed "avoiding the new long self-check-out lines; getting fruits and vegetables that are well-wrapped and packed; and shopping from the comfort of your own home and still being able to

      Source: 6 Tips For Dealing With Debt Collectors

      If your bill is long past its due date, then expect the debt collectors to come a-knockin'. Hiding from them and pretending they don't exist is not a good solution; it will only aggravate the problem and make things worse. Dealing with the issue head-on might help you catch a break. Here are a couple tips for dealing with those dreaded debt collectors:

      Know your rights.       As consumers, we are protected under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act against harassment from debt collectors. There are certain things they aren't supposed to do, such as calling before 8 a.m. or after 9 p.m., using abusive language, and repeatedly bothering you with multiple calls.
      Talk to them.       Don't avoid them. Pick up the phone, start talking, and address the bills you need to pay. Ignoring them may give them grounds to file a lawsuit.
      Dispute it.       If you don't owe the money, then it is within your rights to send a letter to the collector up to 30 days afte

      Gund Hall (home of the Graduate School of Design) during Harvard Graduation. Year 2007.

      The season of new grads is officially upon us, and the U.S. National Center for Education Statistics anticipates over 3.4 million degrees will be handed out to students completing their secondary education in 2012. With so many young adults entering the consumer world, often without the assistance of parents, the first few steps couldn't be more important.

      Here are the first five things you should do once you've gotten that degree and are preparing to enter the "real" world for the first time:

      1. Create a Budget
      This step is not only deemed to be one of the most important actions for a new graduate to embrace, it's a skill that will benefit them throughout their lifetime.


      Howard Dvorkin, founder of ConsolidatedCredit.org and author of "Credit Hell: How to Dig Out of Debt," advises grads to realistically consider their "true" salary of any new job. "Many college grads are starry-eyed at the salary they will be making at their first job. They should do their homework and find out the

      Shy Workers

      In this job market, quiet types can't afford to fly under the radar while chattier-though not necessarily more talented-colleagues get all the plum assignments. We asked Nancy Ancowitz, author of Self-Promotion for Introverts, how to overcome your diffidence and outshine the show-offs. By Marina Khidekel

      Perfect your (vocal) pitch.       Wallflowers tend to end their statements as if asking a question -- So, I had an idea for next week's client presentation? "You can't sell yourself if you sound like an insecure sorority sister," warns Ancowitz. Her suggestion: Use a tape recorder to practice speaking more authoritatively. Keep at it until you quit sounding like a wounded kitten.

      5 Secrets of the Highest-Paid Women

      Stick with numbers, not adjectives. "Introverts are averse to bragging, but if your boss doesn't see you shine, you're done for," says Ancowitz. Here's how to remind her of your achievements without showboating: Provide quantifiable metrics. If she asks whether you're on tra
