It’s nice to know the English language keeps growing. It’s even nicer to know where to find the latest words—even as they’re crawling, like newly-hatched baby turtles, across the perilous slang-filled sand dunes of common usage toward the secure yet always churning safety of a bona fide dictionary. Merriam-Webster devotes a section of its online resource to ‘new words & slang’ here: http://nws.merriam-webster.com/opendictionary/ newword_display_recent.php.

Making the most of what’s in our wallet takes a little perspective and some savvy strategy. While I don’t personally know Suze Orman, much less Ben Bernanke, I do know the writer behind CheapBohemian.net.
Her CheapBohemian manifesto:
“Values money for its transformative power, not its intrinsic value.
Respects quantity without falling for it.
Gives things away more often than she buys them.
Saves but doesn’t hoard.
Values humor and love above all things.
Believes that slack is as important as work. No, more.”
