Watch Your Wallet

Answer 1

Before you can save money on anything, you have to know how much you are spending. Experts advise consumers to write down everything they spend, no matter how small the transaction. Once you know exactly how much you are spending on everything from cups of coffee on the way to work to how much you are spending for cable television, you can see where you need to cut back.

If you do this for a month, you will be amazed at how much you can save on a variety of goods and services. In fact, it is fun to challenge yourself to spend less on certain items in successive months.
