If you’re new to San Francisco, paying the city a visit, or simply looking for a new playground for you and your dog, here are four of the finest dog parks in San Francisco.

Though the market was terrible noisy, we felt quite pleasing to be able to pick up a really good bargain. Just as we were ready leave, however, a heavy rain began to pour down.

Setting aside for a rainy day
It’s a common regret in life that we spend more than we save---money that could go into a savings account or into a pension. Whatever age you are, it’ s never too late to start thinking about saving for your future. Here are several ways to get you going.
1.
It’s hard to know what you can afford to save if you don’t have an accurate budget, so doing this is a key first step. Once you’ve made a record of everything you spend each month and everything you earn, you’ll be able to see how much money you have left.
Get into a regular habit
2. Payday is great as you won’t be tempted (诱惑）to spend the cash. You can also set up a standing order to move money automatically into a savings account each month, so you won’t forget.
3.
There are different places you can put your savings, from tax-free ISAs(Individual Saving Accounts) to high-interest current accounts. Wherever you choose, keep an eye on the interest rate. Many have high rates for the first year and drop down afterwards. 4.
Set yourself a goal
If you know exactly what you’re saving for, it’s far more likely you’ll keep putting money away. 5.It’s also worth thinking about building an emergency fund for unexpected expenditures.
A.The earlier the better.
B.Earn as much interest as you can
C.Find out what you can afford to save
D.If that happens, look to move your money elsewhere.
E.Choose a fixed day each month to put money into savings.
F.If you don’t have much left after bills and essentials, you can use your budget to find ways to cut back.
G.It could be to make sure you’re comfortable in the future and have a relatively high standard of living
