Tomorrow is my birthday so I figured we’d look at some cool birthday money saving ideas. I don’t tend to celebrate too hardcore because being a Thanksgiving baby, throwing another holiday party is not usually an option because all your friends are with their families and it can be expensive with the holidays already costing a ton. Lame!
