Saving for the Average Person

Good day all!

I started these money saving articles more than 2 years ago to share as many money saving tips as I can with all of you. I have raised a daughter who will be 20 in less than a week, so I know how expensive life can be especially with kids. I have always marveled at families that feed 3, 4 or more kids on one salary.

Now gas prices are finally coming down, but the past year has hurt a lot of us in more ways than one. So today I wanted to give you any many money saving tips as possible. A google search yielded many web sites but this one had a plethora of tips and begged to be shared:

http://www.moneyinstructor.com/saving.asp

There are catagories for saving that I never thought of and links for work sheets! Just scroll down the web page and click on what ever cathes your fancy!

Have a great day everyone!

Thanks. I think I'm thrifty because I am the youngest of six children and my father was a blue collar worker who was unemployed from time to time. I learned the value of a buck at a very early age out of sheer necessity.

I will check it out. I don't make much but I know there has to be a way to save SOMETHING! Right now there is no money for emergencies like things like the fact that I need a new battery in the van.
