Save money by saving your change can add up to thousands of dollars for your nest egg! That’s right, by taking the change you have in your pockets, purse, vehicle or anywhere you keep change, can help you to start saving money. Think about it, you can start saving your change today and you are guaranteed if you continue to save your change every day, that you will save a significant amount of money over time.
You’ve been saying, that it’s hard for you to save, and you just don’t make enough money to be able to do this. Well, you can start slow by just taking that spare change you have laying around and putting it in a jar and just let it grow over time. It won’t take long before your change jar starts growing and you now have money saved.
Imagine when you count the amount of change you’ve saved, after six months of dropping your change in your jar, you are astounded at how much money you have collected in just a short period of time. You can do it, just start saving your change today! Don’t wait to save, it doesn’t matter that you’re starting out small by saving your change. It only matters that you just start saving!
These five tips should help you when you start saving your change:
1) Get yourself a jar to put your change in. Nothing fancy needed, the idea is get yourself a jar so you can start saving your change now!
2) Make it a goal to collect all your change and put it in a jar on a daily basis from either your purse, wallet, clothing, vehicle or any other place you may have your change.
3) Put your change jar in a special place in your home where it is not tempting for you or anyone else in your home to remove change from your savings jar.
4) Make it habit to keep all the change you receive when making purchases so you can place this change in your change jar.
5) Plan to count your change every six months and deposit your change into a special savings account at your bank. This will assist you in keeping track on how well you’re saving money by saving your change!
You may think this idea of saving money by saving your change may not work. I’m here to tell you that it will! Over the years I have used this method to save money and it has worked very well for me. In fact, I have several change jars around my home that I always use for my change. I have been able to save lots of money by doing this. It is easy and I have trained myself just to drop my change in my jars, which helps me to continuing saving money on an ongoing basis. So, if I can do it, I know you can.
So, save money by saving your change today, so you can help yourself to improve your finances today and for your future.

I have never once responded to a youtube video (though I am a youtubeaholic), but I must admit: that “I saved more money by switching to Geico” was downright hilarious. Thanks for making me laugh!!

Hi there,
Putting an insulation blanket around your water heater will save on utilities.
Installing a programmable thermostat will save on utilities.
Those are a couple of examples that you can see and many more ways to save at my website located at: http://www.savingmoneyandmore.com

Dump your cell phone plan, dump your internet plan and all cable TV…go out to the beach everyday and surf or swim, or go golfing, any hobby you enjoy. Spend money only on food and on occasion spend some money for yourself once every 4 to 5 months! Problem solved!!!

Going green is easy, there are so many great resources about the subject. My personal favorite is "The Green Book" which has parts of its book online as well at http://www.readthegreenbook.com.
As I have been striving to "Go Green" I realize it is like stepping back in time without getting rid of my modern conveniences. I'm doing many things I learned as a child, like line drying my clothes, sweeping instead of vacuuming, opening the windows in the morning to catch the cool breeze, only buying what I need instead of everything that looks cool, growing some of my own food, and canning what I can't eat now.
To me "going Green" is a frame of mind. Do what fits your lifestyle and do the easy things first, it is a process and like dieting if you go to radical to soon, you are more likely to go back to bad habits. I also believe there are good, better, best choices in most things. If you aren't ready to start a home garden, then try finding a farmers market, until you locate one look for produce grown as close to home as possible and go organic when available.
Many people think "going green" is expensive, I disagree. Some changes may take an initial investment, but they usually have a short payoff time. Things like weatherstiping and insulation cost, but the energy savings will add up quickly. You may need to purchase reusable bags, but most stores give you a 5 or 10 cent credit, so you are paid back within a few months.
My top tips are make your home more energy efficient, that also means using natural light, cooling and heating.
Reduce your packaging, if you eat more fresh food you will generally reduce packaging, it's the same thing they tell dieters, shop the perimiter, that is where all the meat, dairy and produce are located. Only buy what you will use, many Americans throw away a lot of unused food. Buy in bulk, that doesn't just mean large packages, but that area with the bins that you buy only what you plan on using.
Replace disposable items with durable items, if you eat outside often and use disposable paper or plastic plates, it is a wise investment to purchase a set of reusable plastic plates. Replace disposable razors, diapers and cleaning products like swiffer. Avoid bottled water, get a home filter like Pur or Brita.
Recycle, http://www.earth911.org will help you locate the nearest recycle center. I try to only purchase plastics that are #1 or #2, they are more easily recycled. I also buy recycled products when available, that includes paper towels, napkings, toilet paper, tissue, school/office supplies and clothing.
Detox your cleaning, vinegar and baking soda clean almost anything, they can even losen a hair clog. Seventh Generation and Method are a couple mainstream brands that are very earth friendly.
Just start small and build from there, don't get overwhelmed.

Yes, I have I switched 9 bulbs out and did some other Energy saving things and noticed my electric bill went from $114.00 to about $75..
I also unplugged any appliance I wasn't using or put the ones I do use on power strips- to make it easier to turn on/offf
I do most of my laundry in the evening after 9pm and use mostly cold water except for sheets/towels/whites
I also hang most of our clothes and use the dryer for full loads only
I run my dishwasher on time delay so it runs around 4am the water is hot and everyone is sleeping.. Full loads only
I use the ceiling fans along with my A/C to circulate the cool air
These things work… Take care

My husband and I love pre-paid phones. Especially since he works out of state 90% of the time. We have pre-paid phones with mobile to mobile. We chose Cingular since the majority of our friends and all of our families use that service. It costs us about $30 every 3 or 4 months total.

@MrEnergyCzar Your video is great! Thanks for sharing it. I only watched one – it would be great if you could summarize what each of the upgrades you did cost you.
We also love T-Mobile – we promote them on our web site and have 2 of their prepaid phones.
