Yep, it’s that time of year again – the time of when you can’t find an open treadmill. While everyone else is evaluating their physical fitness, spend some time on your financial fitness.

We all like free stuff. Whether it’s a sweet BOGO sale or a hand-me-down from a family member, everything seems just a little bit better when you feel like you got a steal.

Class is out and the only lecture you’ll think about for a few months is the one you need to give your roommate on doing dishes.

Are you wowed by your “grown-up” friends’ tales about the real world? While things might seem pretty sweet in New Condo New Car Land, your full-timer friends might not be telling you the whole story. Management of your expectations — as well as your spending and other lifestyle habits — is essential in order to thrive during this stage of the game of life. Just don’t forget to have a little fun while playing.

If there’s one person “It’s the thought that counts” works on, it’s Mom.

With graduation coming, you probably have a group of friends who made the journey from dorm to diploma right by your side. If you’re on a budget, how do you thank them for four years of laundry coins, lecture notes, and Thanksgiving leftovers without being boring – or going broke?

Do you leave your computer running in your room while you are at class and while you’re asleep? If so, you’re not alone. But hey, that doesn’t make it right.

There are countless coupons at hand, and most of us have no clue they are even there.

Money seems to be tight for most people right now. Many students are trying to figure out how to pay for school, let alone for their spring break plans.

Not to be outdone by spring training, the beginning of this month also means some serious college basketball is here. No talk about saving the ball for the last shot here though.

March is here, and that means baseball is back. While that only brings money to the mind of a few (ahem, Manny), we at the Ramen Report can’t help but think of how it can save you some.

Valentine’s Day is less than two days away. If you haven’t come up with plans for that special someone yet, you are in luck.

Let’s be honest – video games are expensive! And is anyone else getting sick of buying the new Madden every year?

A new year is upon us. It’s a time to think of the new opportunities and challenges that lie ahead. And if you are any bit like us at the Ramen Report (a scary thought!), there are plenty of personal financial goals to accomplish.
