I love it when the simple things can make the most sense in this crazy world, baby. Take a look at this silly string lady. This is the real deal ... some dame in Jersey decided to do something for the soldiers overseas, so she's collecting cans of silly string to send to them. Turns out, the strings, which cost about a dollar a can, can reveal trip wires to bombs without setting them off. I tell you one thing ... who knew you could save a life by spending a buck?

Saving bucks. Now that's a great idea. And simple, too. You just get out of debt by creating a budget, just like you hear on The Dave Ramsey Show. Once you get your dough under control, you start saving extra cash. Before you know it, you got your life back, jack. Stop working for the man and start working for yourself.
