[quote=Anonymous]First thing I would do is identify a realistic amount to save and take it right off the top, so you make it priority instead of trying to save what's leftover. We just cut cable. We use Netflix. Also found out that we can get some limited stations just hooking up TV to cable connection because we have cable internet. Use an cash envelope system for expenditures like groceries and gas. Set a budget amount and stick to it. I find it harder to spend cash than to swipe a card. Makes me think about if I really need what I'm buying. I also recommend calling any service companies you deal with (utilities, cell phone, etc.) and see if they will negotiate a better rate. I was able to do this for cell phone, home phone, and trash collection and saved us at least $100/month. [/quote]
