You can decide to live frugally, but when you add a spouse and children to the picture, things change. Here’s your guide to getting everyone on the same page.
Be prepared come tax time and document whatever expenses you can write off. If you have any questions or concerns make sure to consult an accountant – and then deduct the cost of asking them.
It may take a little creativity and planning, but you can get in to more events than you might think for exactly zero dollars.
Don’t give up. You’re likely to fall off track at one time or another; we all do, because not every expense can be pre-planned.
Everywhere in the media, people are telling you to save money by doing it yourself. Whatever “it” is, you are expected to become an instant expert.
Every company would have us believe that by applying for their credit card, joining their rewards program or becoming a member of their club we will save more than we ever dreamed possible.
Rather than slaving over trying to balance your checkbook, let these programs do it for you by connecting to your accounts and recording when you write checks, when you pay with your credit card, how much money you owe, and more.
If you’re a young professional, you may not have a lot to spend. How can you throw a party where your friends feel welcome without going broke in the process?
We would all be better off if we forced ourselves to look honestly at our spending and our bank accounts, and identify the things that can be cut out easily and immediately. That will buy you more time if you do lose your job or take a cut in your income, and will help you stretch the money you have.
