Lots of great ideas!

Not to sound like an evironmental nut, but #69 isnt as good as one would think!. Biofuel actually requires more crude oil products for production than what is actually produced as biofuel. Also with biofuel like ethanol (made from corn) it actually increases the cost of food.

Like these tips very much! Will be applying some to my every day life since we use some to begin with like eating in daily and cooking at home mostly and we go out less but one thing I refuse to sacrifice on and it’s not taking a vacation on a yearly basis so we go out less and spend less regularly. Works for us. And when we do put it on a credit card I make it a point of paying it off in three or four intervals so to avoid excessive fees BUT it would be nice not put anything on a credit card at all, admitedly! Overall, great tips and will be applying them for sure!

This is actually is very good list of money saving tips, most are helpful and to be honest are not very helpful, here are some of my favorites:

14. Avoid Financing – This means only buy what you can pay for today, many people want a product right away, these are impulse items and really do not add to your overall quality of life.
23. Don’t Pay for Your Kids- I did this for years by only going to restaurants with free meals for kids.
39. Be Purposely Low in Cash- Only spend the money you have in your pocket.
44. Cut the cable- This applies to phone/internet etc., these services are optional and nice to have but they cost a lot of money, my cable bill is about $60 per month ( I like TV) but my phone/internet bill is about $300 per month ( I know that is a crazy amount but I have many options and family phones which drive up the cost).
45. Pay Yourself First – This may be the most important thing you do in your life, really make an effort to to this, later in life you will thank yourself.

This is a great list! I also like #1 the best. It has worked for my wife and me. I even have a little label that I put on the piggybank with a savings goal on it….like Hawaiian Vacation.

Great list!

I would also recommend for numero uno – the piggybank – to more frequently deposit the contents of the piggy then every year. Do it weekly or monthly into your regular savings account will encourage greater deposits into the the piggy. And each of the little deposits will add up and should slowlly help boost up your interest earnings.
