-> BEST SAVING IDEAS

Contest Rules:  Tell us how you are saving: $100.00 - $500.00 - $1,000.00 or more annually.   When we stop buying something or choose a less costly substitute, then we should want to know how much this is saving us if we do it for a year. You will be astounded!!! Simply multiply your monthly saving on that item by twelve.

Here are some crazy and not so crazy things our family is doing :
  • TV on the internet- watch less and enjoy more plus we get free movies; $600.00
  • no more home phone - cell phones rule now; $600.00
  • buying bulk especially less bulky stuff - we started with one item at a time- eg.toilet paper $100.00 
  • make our own "signature water" - energy water -very tasty so it is easier to stop expensive liquids to quench thirsts minimum saved: @15.00 per week $780.00  
  • making our own laundry and dish soap: $120.00
  • making own skin care: will discuss in a post variable ways to calculate savings  
So we are on our way to $3,000.00 and we want your ideas to get there. Bring 'em on and we will give 'em a try!    How many ideas are there? Be brave - c'mon and give it up. You may be the winner as the - funniest or best tip choice of each month. We will have an independant judge and prizes (to be announced)
Really important - also share how you are "keeping the cash" you saved - and how you are deciding on those things you definitely need for your sanity and stuff you just plain want and know its not a need. Or you may need these ideas to make ends meet. Either way - financial stability.

-> WHAT WILL WE DO WITH AN EXTRA $3,000. EACH YEAR?

A penny saved is a penny earned. What ...?   after tax money kept is more money than the same amount  earned ... not taxed again - on yeah, free money! gives us an option to create wealth!

The MONEY PARTY is over. Hopefully we left before we had to. How did our parents live without credit???
 They respected the things that keep life sane-
  • Family life-
  • Good food together-
  • And a  tidy appearance.       

We had a clothesline in our back yard when I was young. Mothers shared ideas over the fence. Now we lean on the Blog fence and share ideas in a BIG way.  Our first invitation: Join the SAVINGS PARTY!
