Ellen, I agree. There is surely a mental aspect to the whole process of saving money and you have to suppress your desire to have whatever you see, now, versus saving for things that you won't have until later.

Great tips and thanks for your comment!

The concept of "saving money" is easier said than done for most people. 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!

Netspend, I agree about prepaid cards. What we use around the house is a charge card – accepted everywhere a credit card is but with the balance due in full at the end of the month, we have no flexibility to spend whatever we like. We have to manage our money but we also get points from the card and can use that for other things. They are a great tool.
