Savvy Community I Am Loving Mint! Jan 27, 2010 12:00 PM This post was submitted by Lauren in our Ask Savvy group . I have been using Mint for nearly a month and I love it! Not only do I realize what I spend my money (a lot more on restaurants than I realized) but was also able to catch when my bank "accidentally" charged my account twice for my cell phone bill. With the alerts, I was able to react quickly and contact my bank to make sure they reversed the charges. I am just curious for those of you who started using Mint was there a category that you thought was going to be a lot less or more when you set up your first budget? And were you able to catch any abnormalities in your accounts? Do you have a question for Savvy and fellow readers? Create a PopSugar account or log in to your account .

Savvy Community School, Work, Unemployment . . .?! Jan 26, 2010 12:00 PM This post was submitted by Renees3 in our Ask Savvy group . I worked for a company for six years. Dec. 21st I found out they decided to downsize my department and a bunch of others to zero. So I've joined the ranks of the unemployed. While I liked my job okay, I've decided I want to go to school. I'm 27 and have never been to college. I want to get my AA in accounting. But I honestly have no idea what to do now. I'm eligible for unemployment, can I get it while I go to school (a local community college)? I have a mortgage and bills to pay, I can't just not have money coming in. I know there are student loans, but I really don't want to get myself into major debt for just a couple years of school. I've thought maybe if I take night courses or online school (like University of Phoenix) I might still be able to collect unemployment. Does anyone know of any other options or ideas? Please help, I'm losing sleep over this. Do you have a question for Savvy and fellow readers? Create a PopSugar account or log in to your account . Then ask your question in the Ask Savvy group .

Dr Betty Legacy Jan 13, 2010 7:33 AM Hi Savvy, I am inheriting $10,000 and I don't know what to do with it.  I have about $6,000 in Credit Card debt, $4,000 in Student Loan, and $6,000 outstanding on my car loan.  Basically the interest rate on my student loan and my car payment are SUPER low (less than %5).  And I regularly contribute to my RRSP (so does my employer), but I only have $2,000 in my bank account. I was thinking that I would pay off my Credit Card and put the rest in my bank account for emergencies, or just to know that I have some extra cash for a trip or something... But I don't know if this is a good plan. What do you think?
