Money can buy happiness
« on: March 25, 2014, 09:57:21 PM »
http://www.cracked.com/blog/4-ways-money-actually-can-buy-happiness/

They are not known for their hard hitting financial news, but cracked.com wrote about money today. It is a pretty funny article that has a mixture of some mustacian ideas. Seems to me that it is more accurate/helpful than most of the financial articles I read online.

I'm pretty sure that, while reading financial advice, I've never laughed as hard as reading that article.

Usually when people say they laughed at an article, they found something WAAAAY funnier than I did.

Not so, in this case...this is fucking hilarious!

I can't read it here at work. I can do just about anything as a member of IT, but that site is filtered as "Tasteless" ;-). I'll have to wait till I get home!

If you fancy yourself a writer and have knowledge on any subject, they will pay you to write for them. I think each article gets you a few hundred bucks if they use it. might be a decent side hustle.
