Website with several articles regarding topic. The article for this topic is entitled: "Cash-Flow Control." This can easily be found by going to the URL above and clicking on research and articles. It is the third of four articles.
The article that I have chosen to use regards how to spend your money wisely. In short, the article's main purpose is to show people smart spending habits, and how to save yourself from unnecessary purchases. It is the author's goal in this article to show the reader to shop and buy smarter. Many ideas are given to save money. First, the author, Allison Scotch, says to not be fooled by sales. We should also avoid spending too much on our pets, over-shopping at the market, paying late fees, overpaying taxes, being careless with loose change, and eating out for dinner. All of these categories, when managed wisely will reduce your fees and leave you with more money in your pocket.

Most of the research done with the effects the media has on body image is done with women. However, men are also greatly effected by the media. While women are told to be thinner and smaller men are told to be stronger and bigger. Women are told to loose weight and diet while men are told to be more muscular and lift weights. In the past studies have shown that women feel the pressure to be thin because of the media. What more recent studies are showing is the increase pressure that men also feel to be more muscular.
