It’s another Monday and whether you like it or not, it’s time to get back to work. Hopefully you don’t get too stressed today but just in case, we have a few cool things for you to do and the best part is, they are all free of charge. Today’s installment of Dollars & Sense will be especially helpful if you happen to be in San Diego or plan on visiting soon.
Visit The The San Diego Museum of Art:
Whether you have 30 minutes or three hours, a transformative experience awaits you at The San Diego Museum of Art.
Let the exhibitions transport you from 10th century Asia to 17th century Italy to 20th century Mexico. Enjoy your journey in your own way: wander the galleries, learn from a docent tour, or participate in one of the many educational programs offered throughout the day. On display now is the Gluck Collection, which has long been part of the Museum of Art’s permanent collection. The loans will include paintings by Pablo Picasso, Paul Gauguin, Paul Serusier, Fernand Leger, Édouard Vuillard, and Pierre Bonnard, which will be shown alongside other Post-Impressionist and early twentieth-century paintings by Vuillard, Bonnard, Georges Braque, Amadeo Modigliani and others from the Gluck Collection. The best part of it all it that it’s completely free of charge.

Visit Mission Beach:
Mission Beach has everything you’d expect from a stereotypical Southern California beach: volleyball players crashing in the sand, rollerbladers wearing next to nothing, bicyclists and skateboarders showing off. This two-mile long, urban beach is sandwiched between houses and a paved “boardwalk.” The centerpiece of Mission Beach is Belmont Park, a seaside amusement park.

Financial Tip Of The Day
Unplug Your Electronics
Believe it or not, even when you electronics are off, current is still being used. According to the US Department of Energy anywhere from 5% to 10% of your residential electricity is used by devices that are plugged in 24 hours a day. Watch your electric bill go down by plugging out instead of just turning off.
