Financial Tip Of The Day
Brown Bag Lunch At Least A Few Days A Week
Lunch times are great opportunities to network and make connections that could improve your career growth. So unless there is a common eating area for brown baggers, you may choose to limit brown bagging lunch to three days each week. Find a balance between saving some money and making the connection. Take your lunch with you 2-3 times a week and eat out the rest of the time.
