MasterCard offers card aimed at Muslims →
justinkozuch:

lols:
It’s true.
$8.52 Groceries from the organic market down the street. Note to self: don’t go there anymore. All I got with $8.52 was 4 (not even a dozen) rolls of toilet paper, a small bag of brown rice and soy milk.
$1.95 Milk and a donut (my prize for 5:30am wakeup). At least it wasn’t coffee ^_^

Do something that you like. Forget about the pay for Christ’s sakes. Regulate your style of living, your lifestyle, to fit your income. Just have fun in your job, that’s the main thing.
