How to Save Money

I love saving money. Don’t we all? I’d rather save it than spend it. My wife, on the other hand, likes to save… spend… make… and even invest money. Of course, most of her investments are in shoes. GTPeach sent in her top five tips for saving money.
- In investing, never spend more than you can afford to lose. The markets are volatile, and you could be in trouble.
- Discern what you really need from what you think you need. It could save a lot per month. Do you really need that meal out? Can you honestly say you need that $4.00 cup of “coffee” from Starbucks?
- Set up a budget. Designate columns for expenses, savings and needs. Then… stick to the budget!
- Plan your shopping list before you go. Decide what you need, and how much you’re really willing to spend on those items. Keep in mind that often the brand names aren’t always better… but they are more expensive. Always eat before grocery shopping… you know as well as I do how much more junk you’ll buy if you are hungry.
- Set money aside for savings from each paycheck. Even $20.00 per week adds up to a good chunk over time.
Anyone else that has legitimate financial advice, or credit advice… I’d LOVE to have them, and share them with everyone.

Well…saving money is really not that difficult. Instead going to grocery stores; surfing for cheap products, take some time flipping through flyers. Look at the prices and then compare them with other stores. If you’re looking forward to buy something you want, plan weeks before hand so you can find the best prices from the stores. Large retailers always have savings from time to time. In the end, you’ll be amazed by how much the differences are. This is just one of the many ways to save money. But before you knew it, reading through flyers may become a hobby. =D

keep your base expenses low ( rent, food, cable, broadband,…) and budget the rest for goodies like shoes, vacations, gadgets, savings, investments,…)

For investments, keep them balanced. Stocks, bonds, gold, and cash. For stocks, do an S&P500 or something, not individual stocks, and for bonds do a negotiable bonds account, not individual bonds. Have real gold–as in bullion, not gold stock, and a money market should do for cash.
Yes, markets are volatile, but not all at the same time. When one goes down, another goes up. This portfolio should be robust no matter what the economy does.

I’d advise against most Wall Street investments — unless you’re in the inner-core. The DJIA is not a true index…you never see the companies crash and burn, you only see them flying high. Remember the DJIA is only a small collection of stocks, NOT ALL OF THEM go into that index. Also, the DJIA is calculated in US DOLLARS, the Market is 50% off compared to Canadian Dollars…way off VS Gold (Au), the Euro and most other currencies. Shell Games and Ponzi Schemes…that’s what it’s about.

Yes, try to get a fund that’s as marketwide as you can. And you can also hedge your bets with different currencies, too. Although I’d advise against going to far with that; you can have your eggs in TOO MANY baskets.

I always save reciepts just incase I get home and never use the item. Wal mart takes stuff back if you just are not happy with an item. I have returned things that I didn’t like it when I got it home after trying it out. I use to ride a bike for everything and I would never buy things I didn’t need just becasue I didn’t want to transport it home. I have an electric bike that can serve me if I ever get well enough to ride (bum knee).
