This is gonna sound funny, but it’s a big help. Save your coin change and $1 bills. Put them away for something you really want. When you go to the store and spend $20’s you feel guilty, but $1’s that you’ve saved over time isn’t so bad. And the coins you saved can be used for the over time home improvements, like new flooring.

Houses are energy hogs. Insulate, especially the attic and plant trees, shrubs or vines on the south and west sides to shade the home in the summer. Evergreens on the north and west sides to provide a windbreak in the winter in the northern climates. Many states and communities don’t have energy building codes and as a result, we’re paying more for energy use than we should. There are tax credits for energy efficiency improvements through 2010; see http://www.doe.gov

Costco and other clubs are not a good deal for most people. Costco makes more than half its money selling memberships, very few people make up the cost of membership in savings.

I know in this recessionary period we must be save,save,save. And cut your credit cards, only debit cards should be used. The interest will kill you.

My best advice which I did not see is to grow your own food. It is not difficult. I am lucky to have a large growing space. We grow tomatoes, sugar snap peas, snow peas, lettuce, spinach, carrots, squash etc. etc. There are so many varities of plants that can be grown in containers for those that have little space to grow. And also you can dry your food, purchase it fresh in season and preserve it for the winter. And then there is the oldest way, learn and start canning. You will not believe the money you will save. And fresh home canned food is so much bettter than what you will get out of a can. It may take some time and effort but the reward is beyond imagination.

What works for me is knowing the difference between my own money and someone else’s money. I try and avoid Credit Cards and Personal and Auto Loans and save a lot on interest. I completely agree with buying a used or a almost new car compared to a new car. Saves a lot on depreciation.

I just switched from a bank back to a credit union that I was a previous member over 25 years ago. It took a lot of time getting my payroll and accounts switched over. However I feel it was worth it because now I am getting 3.5% interest on my money in my checking account. Also I am angry at all these big banks taking tax payer bail out money and still paying themselves big bonuses. What a way to pay that back by having everyone switch to a credit union. I agree 100% with Richard, when was the last time you heard of a credit union failing? They are non profit and work for their members.

One way I have saved money is ditching the ATM and debit cards. Of course they are convenient, but that was the problem. Money was readily available. So i cut them up. I pay my bills online and carry very little cash on me. If I need money I go to the bank. If it is closed then it will have to wait, and usually by the time it opens I have changed my mind anyways.
