NEW Google Wallet

Heyy everyone,

Oh NOO! Cheryl Cole isn't going to be on the U.S versio - Shut up no one really cares and by that I mean I don't care.

ANYWAY

Do you have a smart phone?

Are you tired of carrying round your bank card EVERYWHERE you go?

Are you looking for a new more inconvenient way of paying for things?

Well Google may have the solution for you. It's called the Google wallet and what it is is another app that lets you simply "Tap, pay & save." The Google Wallet will be compatible with Nexus S 4G but should be available for more phones soon.

Now I'm all for technology moving forward but this just seems to be one of those areas that really doesn't need to change just yet. It's not like having a bank card or credit card is causing any problems and to be honest I don't have a smart phone, I don't know many people that do and the whole idea of adding more and more important things to 1 devise just seems a bit careless if you think about it. Not only do you have to worry about your £300+ phone getting stolen but now you have to worry about your bank going with it.

Spotify Is DEAD!

Heyy everyone,





Today I got the horrifying notification that the changes had been put in place with Spotify, this is a big deal for me as I usually put Spotify on as soon as I wake up until I go to sleep.

The way the NEW Spotify works (if you still have the free or open version) is you will still get the same service BUT you will only be able to play each song a total of 5 times before it locks the song and it is unable to be played.

 

Now I've tested it out on LOCAL files and it DOESN'T apply to them so if you've paid for the music either for CD or anything like that you will still be able to listen to it as many times as you want which is GOOD as I spent loads on CDs.

This is still going to be a big fail for the music industry though as many people who used to use Spotify say they will be going back to piracy when it becomes unusable.

REMEMBER to use the "Reaction" buttons at the bottom of this post to tell me a little of what you think and to COMMENT seeing as I've been generous and made it even easier to comment on the Blog.

Easy Ways To Save Money (The Students/My Guide)

Heyy everyone,

So today I finally got smacked in the mouth by the recession and started making the LONG list of things I needed to cut back on.

All this affects me just DAYS after Spotify announces that it will be changing its FREE service.
So firstly things I am paying for that I REALLY don't need at the moment.

THIS MIGHT JUST HELP YOU AS WELL.

LOVEFILM I got this just so I could follow Phillip DeFranco when he did his 30 day challenge. It's over now and I've just about watched every GOOD film on there so before my free trial ends I've got to stop that.
There, that's one thing and now for the rest.

 Sad to see this one go but if I have ANY chance of saving money this year then this will surely have to go. EVEN though it's only £4.99 per month I still think it would be £4.99 per month saved. NOTE even though i won't be getting this or upgrading my account I WILL NOT go to piracy and urge you NOT to go there as well, remember you can't get something for nothing (Legally).

Yep I'm sad to see this go but at £2.20 a week that's about £8.80 a Month, I'll still get it if there's a few GOOD posters in it but I'm definitely going to have to cut back on this habit. 

One of the other big things that I have found out most of my money has gone on is food, and expensive food. Now here is where my way of thinking may differ from yours as I'm a student and my school day is mostly taken up with work so I do not really have time to go out at lunch and get something from the shops. I'm not saying that i don't eat anything but instead have something very big in the morning before I go and 2 meals (Lunch and Dinner) when I get back. If I have 3 meals at home then that would save me A LOT of money. OK what I was talking about just then was that making things to eat and to perhaps BRING to school AT HOME will be a lot cheaper than just going to the shops every time I feel only slightly hungry. Usually I would spend about £5 on things I DIDN'T even need and didn't use at school so that would save me a lot of money.


Here is a GREAT way to make a tiny bit of MONEY that might help you out on a rainy day in the near future.
One of the things that I do is ONLINE surveys BUT you have to look for the ones that reward you instead of just asking for help. Something like http://www.learnerpanel.co.uk/ is great few earning a few high street vouchers.


There you have it. A few things I am doing to save at the moment and maybe a few things YOU could try to save.
