After the holidays, you and your wallet may be suffering from post traumatic stress due to the whirlwind of shopping and spending you’ve been through over the past month.

Subway Boyfriends
We mentioned this phenomenon the other day and now we’re bringing it up again…
Oh the subway boyfriend: you see him so often, sometimes every day, on your way to and from work, leaving your gym or your apartment building.
