A new study reveals that the average woman owns 19 pairs of shoes at any given time, and in the course of her lifetime, she’ll buy 469 pairs of shoes and spend nearly $25,000.
A Glamour post sums up the findings of the study, which also has revelations like that 4 in 10 women admit that they judge other women based on what shoes they’re wearing.

What do prices at the pump have to do with prices at the used car lot? They actually tend to mimic each other. Higher gas prices tend to cause drivers to want to spend less out of pocket on their automobiles. That means rising demand, as well as rising prices, for used cars—fuel-efficient used cars especially. Used car prices spiked last summer as gas prices soared, and then spiked again earlier this year as the national average neared $4 a gallon. Now that gas prices are retreating, relief is also in sight for consumers in the market for used cars.
The best argument for going green is that it’ll help conserve natural resources and money at the same time. The new breed of “green” supercars led by Ferrari and Porsche doesn’t really do either.
