We're not all Jersey Princesses and Kings of New England here at GW. Some students are genuinely poor- always worried about money, always a dollar short. But even if you can't afford to live your roommate's cushy lifestyle, you can still give yourself a leg up if you're willing to work for it. There are ways to save money or simply not spend any at all. But pride and poverty don't mix. Being less than wealthy means you have to be willing to take risks, compromise your dignity and work harder than people who have an unlimited budget. But if you're serious about it (or just without options) here's how to get ahead.

The air outside is brisk, and as I step out into the sunlight I can already tell that it will be a beautiful day. Perfect weather, in fact, for shopping at an open-air market. I make the short trek from JBKO to the Foggy Bottom Metro station and meet my trusty Features section assistant Jesse down on the platform.

One block away from the Clarendon Metro stop on the orange line.
If you think that D.C. isn't part of the South, the owners of Red Hot & Blue will tell you otherwise. But where can a D.C. townie get a taste of the South? Just a block off of the orange line in Arlington, Va., Red Hot & Blue brings Tennessee to D.C. with its Memphis pit barbecue and signature two guitar-playing pigs. And it's all for a very inexpensive price.
