This came up in discussion on 2/15...Steve Horwitz does a good job explaining the economist's perspective. Links to articles can be found in the comments if you watch the video on its youtube page.
Greg Mankiw just had a blog post showing that a college degree is worth more for women than it is for men.

Pick #335
Matt Wertz - "Carolina"
I've been into this kind of music for the past week.
Also, don't forget about my grooveshark Pick of the Week playlist. I don't have everything from ever on it but there are about 73 songs at the moment. One day I'll put as much as I can on there.

Frugal February Catch Up
On Feb. 13, I bought bananas for $1.28 and some battery goop for $2.99.
On 2/14, I bought and a battery terminal head for $4.39 because my old one had broken. I had planned on having a milkshake with Erin on Valentine's Day so I stopped by Arby's and spent $3.11 on a peppermint shake and drank it by a nearby retention pond...there were so many birds around there it was incredible. I might have to go back and visit again, maybe on a run.
I went to Jimmy John's on the night of Feb. 15 because I had a coupon for a free sub. I paid $1.08 to upgrade to a bigger sub. My justification is that I would have spent at least that much money making something for myself at home.
I spent $13.12 of my own money at Publix on the 16th in addition to using a $25 gift card.
No expenditure from Feb. 17-Feb20...but I did use a nearly expired groupon for a pizza on the 20th.
I was able to negotiate a lower bill with Comcast. It used to be $93/month and I'm on a 6 month promotion right now at $77.50. I paid my share of that today. I will be going to a chiropractor on campus because my back hurts in the place where you can't scratch it. I feel like it needs a good pop. It's one of those things that gets irritated if I move my arm or neck the wrong way so probably best to nip it in the bud.

Frugal February, Day 10
Went to Publix today and spent about $25. So far this month, I've taken my bicycle to Publix and put the groceries in my saddle bags. I knew I would drive my car to Tampa, so I didn't bother driving it to the grocery store. Nothing else exciting.
