How to Save Money!!!

In our fast paced life of buy, buy, buy, and sell, sell, sell, we often lose tract of what the value of things really are.  Most people have moved completely away from a cash system and pay for everything on credit.  In such a system, it's easy to not  look at the price of things, or not even think about what you are spending.  Rather, it's only SWIPE, SWIPE, SWIPE!  It's not until a month or so later, when you get the bill, that your head starts spinning and you are overwhelmed with that sinking feeling of being drowned in debt!  "Where did all my money go?"  You ask yourself.   
Then the pressure really sets in, as you get the bills coming the first of the month, and you worry about having to work overtime to pay for them, while you have to cut back on eating out, on entertainment, on new shoes, on going out with your friends, etc.  Then with the rising price of gas, and the continual prce of inflation, it makes you WORRY even more, and there seems to be no end in site of the constant increase of most loved  candy bar, your Starbucks coffee, your favorite magazine, and more.  It's all just too overwhelming, and it makes you just want to scream at the top of your lungs:  "Why can't I just STOP spending soooooooo much?"
Well, the simple fact of the matter is that you can!  Even in our bad economy, there are ways to save money.  In fact, there are ways to save a LOT of money, and you can do it if you want to.  You just have to be willing to try!  That's why this blog was set up.  It's to inform you on how to save money, so you don't waste what you don't have on things you don't need to impress people you don't even like! 
Yep, FRUGALITY is not a four-letter word.  It's a way of life, and even though you used to make fun of your parents for cutting coupons and saving money by eating at home every night, you are starting to see that they just weren't as "money-grubbing" as you thought they were.  As a matter of fact, their life-style even helped save money to send you to college!  So there really is something to not being a spend-thrift.
This blog will give you idea after idea on how you can save money; MONEY that you can put in your pocket and save for a rainy day!  If you take advantage of this site, it will benefit you greatly.   So without further adieu, let's start blogging!

  1. I live in New York which is very cold and need heat for warming the house. Oil heat is expensive and solar energy is not popular here. It’s expensive and can cause leaky roof. What do I do to save money on heating? Thank you
