I understand that it is 'easy and logical' for some people, but I also understand it can be a difficult habit to break for others. If you're looking to save money or change your lifestyle, my advice is to take it in "baby-steps" because it won't happen overnight. Here are some tips that helped me out. 1. Always pay more than the minimum on any credit card payments – if you don't believe me you can calculate it for yourself (http://www.csgnetwork.com/creditcardmincalc.html) 2. Use coupons when grocery shopping 3. Try online shopping – it’s saves on gas & they have bigger markdowns (http://www.shoptivity.com) 4. Read a book – it’s cheaper than going to a movie (http://onlinebooks.library.upenn.edu/) 5. Know your budget! (https://www.dl.ed.gov/borrower/BudgetCalculator.do) Good luck and happy savings!
