J.R.R. Tolkien once wrote, "Not all who wander are lost." Today,  6.32 million Americans  are living — and wandering — abroad, excluding those in the military. Some move for work, others to explore their options and still others for education — and then never return. Often, the most frequently discussed profession earning Americans gainful employment outside of the United States is teaching English. This is exactly the job of Jacob Putnam, the main character in  Caleb Crain's  Necessary Errors , the  #MashReads fiction book of the month , in Prague. From beers with expat friends and lonely nights at his homestay to language immersion and culture shock, it's safe to say that though Jacob's story takes place in the '90s, he would have greatly benefited from these 10 apps. Whether you are looking to stay in touch with American friends back home or just take out cash from the nearest ATM, these international apps come in multiple languages and offer the be...

Are you member of "Generation Procrastination"? If your savings account and retirement plan are gathering virtual cobwebs, you probably are. A recent  retirement study  by  Scottrade  suggests that Gen Y is getting way behind on its savings. The recession, mounting student debt and freelance or part-time jobs offering few employee benefits may be to blame for what one Scottrade spokesperson called that generation's  laissez-faire  attitude toward personal finances.

"An emergency fund is the cornerstone of having a good personal finance portfolio," Maniago says. "It can isolate you from financial catastrophe in the event of a medical emergency or needing to quickly change your housing situation. Know what you're going to do in the event of an emergency and figu...

Reading the news and driving don't mix for obvious safety reasons, but a new  app  now makes it possible by reading articles out loud while you drive. Called Dragon Drive, the app was designed by voice-recognition software company Nuance for Mercedes-Benz vehicles. Its  original  goal was to help drivers compose and listen to texts and emails while behind the wheel. Now, it has a useful new feature: When media outlets publish an article, drivers can request it, and the text-to-speech software streams an audio recording of the article through Mercedes-Benz's COMAND system. While the news-reading technology was first available last June, a new update ensures that the app's pronunciation will get better with practice. "Nuance text-to-speech learns about new words as they appear in articles," Fatima Vital, Nuance's director of marketing for automobiles, told  Mashable  in an email. "The pronunciation of these new words is verified and corrected if n...
