Which bag should I get for school? (Links included)?

Gary Jacks

I'm 15 going into 10th grade, and looking for a bag for school.

1. From reading the reviews, this bag seems large enough, but I'm not sure about the sturdiness.

$98 http://www.freepeople.com/accessories-bags/torino-double-pocket-hobo/

2. I absolutely love this bag. It's cute, huge, sturdy(?), and IMO looks great for school.

$128 http://www.freepeople.com/accessories-bags/tapisserie-hobo/

3. I think this bag is out, but it's just SO cute. I love the long chain strap. I'm not sure if it's big enough, or sturdy enough, but I put it on the list to see what you all think.

$248 http://www.freepeople.com/accessories-bags/tina-patched-satchel/

4. Again, I think this bag is already out. It's pricy, and an actual backpack. I'm looking for a shoulder bag/tote because I'm tired of backpacks. I already have a backpack from last year just in case the tote I might get doesn't work out. Anyways, this backpack is very cute and looks large and sturdy enough to hold textbooks and such.

$288 http://www.freepeople.com/accessories-bags/somerset-backpack/

5. This one is my personal favorite, but I'm just looking for others' opinions. It's exactly what I'm looking for: cute, simple, huge, sturdy, and not WAY overpriced. I know, it is pricy, but I might get my money's worth for it.

$228 http://www.freepeople.com/accessories-bags/somerset-backpack/


Which one do you think is best?

Answer
All of these prices are ridiculous for a bag that your not going to want in a month.

My boyfriend is graduating from law school and I want to get him a gift?

school bags price list image

Jess

I was thinking of getting him a briefcase/computer bag for work because he doesn't have one. I want to get him a nice brand/looking one that has a shoulder strap but I don't want to spend a ridiculous amount of money. Can someone give me suggestions? I don't really know what brand of bags is a good one.

Answer
If you don't want to spend a ridiculous amount of money, it would probably be better to buy him a nice pen, or a couple of ties (lawyers wear a lot of suits).

A lawyer's work bag / briefcase needs to look elegant and professional, and a good one will cost you at least $100. You can get a good one for around $100, but a really "impressive" one will cost $300+; lawyers in firms sometimes spend up to $1000 on a good work bag. (On the other hand, lawyers working for the government, or for non-profits, often use canvas messenger bags similar to what students use, because they tend to make less money and don't want to waste it or look like a showoff. But lawyers working for law firms need expensive leather bags, especially if they will be taking the bags to court.) In my case I use a soft-sided leather briefcase (with strap) from Gucci, which I bought at a really good sale.

These days most young lawyers are wearing leather messenger-style bags with shoulder straps like you described, or soft-sided leather briefcases with a strap, rather than hard briefcases. (Older lawyers tend to like "real" hard briefcases with no strap.) But leather is key. Black leather is best, as it will match all different colors of suits/clothes, but brown leather is also appropriate if you know it will fit your boyfriend's wardrobe.

Here are some examples of what to look for. I'm linking to Amazon.com because they sell lots of different brands (via their partner companies) and offer some really good discounts, but you don't have to buy one of these. If you prefer to shop elsewhere or go to a store in the mall, just look for something in this style. (But if you go to a store in the mall, it will cost more, as they don't usually have discounts on these kinds of bags.)

Leather messenger bag, Kenneth Cole, $85:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001FZA3V0?ie=UTF8&tag=starbase280b&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B001FZA3V0

Soft-sided briefcase, Tandi, $280
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001M6UVEG?ie=UTF8&tag=starbase280b&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B001M6UVEG

This soft-sided briefcase (with shoulder strap) from Kenneth Cole is a good deal at $110, because Amazon is selling it for over 50% off retail price. And of course, Kenneth Cole is a good brand.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001V394G6?ie=UTF8&tag=starbase280b&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B001V394G6

Leather messenger bag, Moderm, $230:
http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?lt1=_blank&bc1=000000&IS2=1&bg1=FFFFFF&fc1=000000&lc1=0000FF&t=starbase280b&o=1&p=8&l=as1&m=amazon&f=ifr&md=10FE9736YVPPT7A0FBG2&asins=B002B0B6DC

If you want a cheaper one than what I listed above, this Samsonite hard-sided briefcase that also has a strap is a good deal at just $79, because Amazon is selling it at 70% off the retail price of $280. I think that $280 price is probably inflated. But it's a good deal at $79, and Samsonite is a very good brand. While I personally don't like the style of this one as much as the others above, it is still high quality enough for a lawyer.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001LX0JNI?ie=UTF8&tag=starbase280b&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B001LX0JNI

Now, if you really wanted a bag with "wow" factor, you could go for this one from Louis Vuitton--but that will require a ridiculous amount of money, more than you should spend right now.
http://www.louisvuitton.com/web/flash/index.jsp?direct1=cate&direct2=homme&direct3=cat10001&direct4=cat1410031&direct5=cat1410036&direct6=prod1380025&langue=en_US&buy=1
Maybe as a 10 year anniversary gift or something. :) For now, the bags I listed above are much more affordable and are all very good, professional bags/briefcases suitable for a lawyer.

Do NOT go to the "replica handbags" site recommended by the poster above. If you buy your boyfriend a replica bag (i.e. fake), his colleagues will eventually notice that it's fake, and some of them will think bad things.

What does it cost to get a private pilot's license?

Alberto Ci

I know there's ground school and I heard around 70 hours of flying. Can you tell me how much all this would cost for a small airplane like a Cessna 150?

Answer
The cost depends HEAVILY on the time you actually take to finish and the hourly costs for the aircraft and instructor. A Cessna 152 can rent from $59/hr at a flying club to over $70/hr at a pricey flight school.

Get C152 rental rates near you here- http://www.private2atp.com/ft_finder.php

An example cost break down if your training was completed in the FAA MINIMUM required time (40 hours not 44) with some averaged rental rates:

* Third Class Medical $65
* 40 hours C172 rental @ $62/hr = $2,480
* 30 hours Flight Instruction @ $30/hr = $900
* Misc pilot supplies (see list) $300
* FAA Computerized Written Exam Fee $70
* Examiner fee $250
_____________________
Private Pilot cost = $4,065


A student that finishes their training closer to the national average of 65 hours flight time will pay approximately

* Third Class Medical $65
* 65 hours C172 rental @ $62/hr = $4,030
* 55 hours Flight Instruction @ $30/hr = $1,650
* Misc pilot supplies $300
* FAA Computerized Written Exam Fee $70
* Examiner fee $250
_____________________
Private Pilot cost = $6,365

Many schools advertise a price for the PPL, but that only cover the 40 hour student. If they go over that, then it costs more. Some areas of the country or certain airport have very pricey rental rates. Shop around before you commit. Check into any flying clubs in your area as they are often less expensive as they have no staff or overhead to pay for.

Figure costs with your rental rates here- http://www.firstflight.com/features/cost...

Example supplies needed:
Jeppesen Private Pilot Manual $72
"FAR/AIM" book (regulations & operating rules) $19
Pilot logbook $13
Navigation Plotter $11
An "E6B" Flight Computer $13
Sectional Chart $8
PPL Written Test Study Guide $18
PPL Oral Exam Guide $22
PPL Practical Test Standards Book $6
... and a Flight Bag to hold it all!

Healthful cooking on a student budget?

Love 'n Jo

I've recently returned to school from working (and poured my savings into avoiding excess loans.) I'm looking to maintain a healthy diet of vegetables, whole grains and low meat on a tight budget. Do you have recipe suggestions/website suggestions? Thanks!

Answer
Watch the sales. Find the markets that have mark downs and learn when they mark the food down. (Some do the marking down in the morning, some evening, etc) Build your menu around the sale priced and marked down foods.

Avoid boxed mix foods like Hamburger Helper. Generally you can buy the ingredients and make the stuff from scratch more cheaply and more nutritiously.

When you shop sales be sure to check the sizes and prices. Sometimes what looks like a good buy really isn't. For instance my daughter-in-law loved going to one of the dollar stores. She finally talked me into going and I found that many of thier items were over priced at a dollar. Canned beets for a dollar when you can get a good name brand at about any grocery for.89, a package of lunch meat for a dollar but it is a 4 ounce package which makes the meat $4 a pound, you can buy boneless skinless chicken breast for $4 a pound any day and good ground beef for $3. And you can buy most lunchmeats at about any grocery for $4. No bargain.

Laundry soaps and paper products is another place you get caught. The large sizes often cost more per roll or ounce than the smaller.

Don't be afraid to stock up on something you use a lot when it is on sale. Check expiration dates. Say you use a lot of canned spinach. If you normally pay $1 a can and this week it is on sale 2 for one try to buy enough to last you till the next sale or at least a month or so.

Invest in freezer bags and freezer containers. When you make too much freeze it and eat it in a couple days. Or next week when you have to study and won't have time to cook.

I know it sounds confusing but it will not take you long to get the hang of it and it will be skill taht will serve you well your entire life. By skillful shopping a family of four can save a cou0ple hundred dollars on thier food bill each month and still eat great meals that are low in fat, low in carbs and nutritious.

Two more points. Just abut every grocery has what they call loose leaders every week. The itmes that are on a really good sale. They use them to pull people in because most people while shopping for the loose leaders will buy all the other groceries they need. Check the newspaper ads, go to the groceries in your area and just purchase the loose leaders you need.

And althought you often hear you should make a list of groceries you need and just buy items on the list if you really want to save food money forget that piece of advice. If you have made out your weekly menu and plan to have chicken breast but the chichen breast is $4.00 a pound and good lean pork tenderloin is on sale for 2.29 well you have hurt your food budget if you stick to your menu and buy the chicken breast.

Good shopping practices really mean more to a food budget than menu.

Good luck!
