Paying it Forward: Helping Others Save Money
This week I was in the office and a fellow agent came in and was talking about wanting to get a new cell phone. There have been a lot of changes in the cell phone industry and signing up for a two year contract is definitely going the way of the Dodo bird.  Personally, I am anxiously awaiting the expiration of my contract next month so that I can switch to a lower cost provider.
Specifically, I told her about Boost Mobile. Boost Mobile operates on the Sprint network yet it offers an … (17 comments)

Last night I had to run through the drive-thru at my youngest son's favorite fast food joint (hey, we were running late and he had to get to play practice!) The staff were obviously suffering from the stress of the evening rush. The cashier was flustered and tried to give me change for my $20 TWO TIMES.
The first time, I accepted the proffered cash. At the second attempt, I handed it back to her and explained that she had already given me my change. She just shook her … (7 comments)

Line Etiquette: Paying it Forward at the Post Office
The other day, I went to the post office and got in line for the Automated Postage Center. In front of me was a woman who had about 20 large envelopes of various shapes and sizes. When she approached the machine, it was apparent that she was not very familiar with how to navigate the menus on the screen. She would occasionally look over her shoulder at the growing line behind her and express some form of apology..."I did not know that they had changed the time for the regular service desk," … (17 comments)
