With more than two million visitors last year, London is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world. Whilst this is by no means a bad thing, it does have a downside; it’s also ranked as one of the most expensive cities in the world. Hostels and hotels that offer cheap accommodation aren’t easily available, which is why it’s best to search for alternative options that save you money without cutting corners. (more…)

For those of us who have a little more than a bargain-hunting streak in us, seeking the best deal out of every cent spent has shed some light on a rather disturbing issue which should perhaps be more widely discussed. This is the practice of companies and businesses, particularly those which manufacture physical products or administer physical services, intentionally limiting the lifespan of the goods they sell and services they render. One of the best-documented examples of this practice is that of the light-bulb production industry. You can read about the Great Light Bulb Conspiracy and make up your own mind about the extent to which this is happening, but just looking around you reveals a disturbingly common practice reeking of so-called planned obsolescence.

The question of “what I would do with $13 million” has occurred to me this morning when I read the news about a lucky player hitting the second biggest jackpot ever paid out by an online casino. As a regular Royal Vegas player myself, I’m reading these news the second time this year – unfortunately none of them involved me. The first winner was a player at the same Royal Vegas casino where I play – called Mark, he won over $7 million after just one week of play at the portal on the Mega Moolah mobile slot. The second one was a yet unnamed player just the other day. (more…)

Education is always a workable and positive thing for our lives, and so is fun.  Integrating the two could possibly produce amazing results.  This isn’t just a learning experience for the kids, either.  Take yourself on the journey as well.   (more…)

Most of the time, people just stay indoors. While no one requires you to get out and exercise, it is still recommended that you make time for getting fit. Working out should not cost you a lot of money. And when you say workout, it does not necessarily mean at the gym. In fact, there are some which you can do outdoors, for free. (more…)
