Save More, Spend Less


Once Again Meme has challenged us all to reach into ourselves and pull out the best we have to offer each other, so I got to thinking what is foremost on all our minds? Well, the Economy seems to keep rearing it's ugly head, what can you do for your family?

Think of 2009 as back to basic's , even if you can't seem to bring yourself to set a budget at least know where your money is going. Decrease your debt and find your inner thrift.

. Pay less interest, contact your credit card company's and ask to have your interest rate lowered.

. Track you spending for one month, it's easier to trim your expenses once you know where your money is going.

. Quit comparing yourself to what others have, and be thankful for what you do have.

. Try out Pricegrabber.com , Use sites that comparison shop for you, it saves time and money. Be sure to ask you local store to match advertised sales prices.

. Spend less than you make, it's that simple
