If you're new here, this is the one personal finance blog that tells you how to become financially independent in 5 years instead of 30 years or more. You can read my story here and read more about where I am now here. You may want to subscribe to my RSS feed or use one of the other options in the top right sidebar. Thanks for visiting!

I’ve been annoyed at having to throw out the last 5% of my (stick) deodorants that doesn’t come up no matter how much the dial on the bottom is turned. Now, I have a solution to that. Take an old stick and put it in the microwave until the deodorant melts (don’t boil it!). Then spoon it over into another not-so-old stick that has been dialed back a bit. Reheat it to make the surface smooth.
