Money is tight! I'm a freshman in college and the last thing I need are little temptations robbing me of my money - like a Holga film camera, or the new Flip HD. I don't even want to talk about how much money I wasted going out and shopping my first semester, like the dress I bought months ago and have only worn once. Now I can get help from Youth Media International (Youth Radio) via a Facebook application, developed with Context Optional, called Stop Me from Spending!

If you're one of the few people not on Facebook, or not a user of apps, Youth Radio reporter Ankitha Bharadwaj described them this way in a radio story on Marketplace, "They're kind of like accessories you add to your Facebook profile to jazzify your page and interact with your friends in unexpected ways." "Stop Me From Spending!" as a creative way to beat the recession and interact with friends. "This is one of the powers of social networking that is still underused - the power to create P2P (peer-to-peer) support among groups," says Mark Alvarez, L'Atelier tech blogger who reviewed the app.

Dollars. Moolah. Franklins. Cash. Whatever you call it...everyone has an opinion on money.
