Ask Savvy: How Should I Critique My Co-Worker?
Dear Savvy,
Today, my manager called me asking me to write up a report about a fellow co-worker. I had mentioned that she was having some difficulties adjusting to the workplace, that she was rude to us, and where she was getting better but that she still often isn't on task. I told her that I would, but I just sat down to write it and have no idea what to say, how to say it, etc.
Savvy Tip: Two Ways to Score Free WiFi at the Airport
Searching for (or stealing) someone else's spotty Internet signal is never fun. Trust me, I've tried it — and let's just say Savvy wasn't smiling when it cut out . .
Ask Savvy: Should I Buy a New Car?
Dear Savvy,
I recently got a letter in the mail from a local car dealership requesting that I trade in my 2001 VW Passat, saying that they are getting lots of requests and stating the blue book value for my car. I wouldn't mind buying a new car, but promised myself I would drive my car until it is unrepairable or I graduate from college, whichever comes first. I still have two more years to go, but if this offer is legitimate, I don't want to let the opportunity go.
Ask Savvy: My Interview With a Plastic Surgeon Ended Abruptly
Dear Savvy,

Ask Savvy: How Do I Follow Up on a Job I Want?
Dear Savvy,
I have a question about a job I applied for earlier this month (Oct. 4). I got a reply the following morning because my resume didn't download, and I replied with an apology and another attachment a few hours later.
I'm Asking: Who Are Your Finance-Savvy Role Models?
Lately, there's been a whole lotta hoopla surrounding Ivanka Trump — her wedding, for one, her new book, The Trump Card, another. But, it's not just that. I've seen her face cropping up next to finance-related advice columns in Glamour and appearing on daytime talk shows to chat, obviously, about the Donald and The Apprentice, but also to talk shop about her own career successes.
Ask Savvy: Should I Reopen My Card After Being Deep in Debt?
Dear Savvy,
I've just paid off one of my credit cards that was in the Debt Management Program through a credit counseling service, which is something I'm proud of! It's nice to have accomplished that! The only issue is, I got a letter from that company offering to reopen the credit card line since I paid everything off.
