    One of my worst financial habits is spending mindlessly online. It’s so easy to rack up a lot of charges without thinking about whether you really need something! Plus, online shopping is so easy; I don’t even have to get out of bed. It’s definitely something I have to work on.

        Here’s another vote against the slideshow format… Pictures are pretty, but clicking through a slideshow is a waste of time!

    This was great but I have to agree that would be better un a list format. I always enjoy learning new things about finance and have yet to really navigate through the whole site just yet!
