If you are looking for something to do on a Sunday afternoon, look no further. This list is a 100 Skills every man should know. I know about 42/100 so far, but when I have some time I will try to learn to do more. Some of the stuff is actually very cool.

This is a great read. Anyone who knows me in person knows that this is something I am definitely all about. For those who don’t know, Warren Buffet is America’s richest person. He recently overtook Bill Gates due to fluctuations in the stock market.

Hack College is something I wish I would have known about when I was actually in school. The tagline for the web site is “Lifehacks, Study Tips for College Students.” There are some really good resources there for college students. Life Hacker, which is a great site in it’s own regard, also has a great list of some of the best posts from Hack College.

Mint.com is without a doubt the coolest web site I have seen in a while. It amounts to free financial management tools. The site already has over 100,000 users and helps manage about $3 billion. The web site has received rave reviews from Forbes as well as other sources.

To use the web site all you have to do is pick a username and a password and then enter in bank account information. Mint then generates tons of stuff for you to look through. It makes pie graphs to break down spending habits, shows spending trends and can even create budgets for you to stick to.

After graduating I started saving all of my receipts to put into a giant excel spread sheet, but this is a million times easier and better. You can delete an account you make, so I urge everyone, at least give it a chance. I guarantee it improves your financial management.

*If you are worried about security, read the Forbes link.
