Top 5 Ways to Save Money! ~ Financial Series

Having a hard time coming up with cash to pay for certain items, consider
these 5 Ways to Save money now!

1.  Stop smoking cigarettes! A carton of cigarettes could cost anywhere
from $14-$20.  If you smoke a carton weekly a month, you could save
between $56-$80/month! Think about what you could do with an extra $80/month.
How much could you save if There are over 4,000 chemicals in cigarette smoke
including rat poison.  Consider a smoking cessation program with your
insurance company or smoking alternatives {nicotine patches, electronic
cigarettes, nicotine gum, nicotine inhaler, nicotine nasal spray, Chantix
medication or quit cold turkey}.  Visit smokefree.gov and learn more
today!

2.  Internet! This is FREE at certain WiFi locations.  I have seen
them in libraries, restaurants, book stores, etc. Go here and enter your zip code to find a
Hotspot location near you. 

3.  FREE Exchange of goods at FREE Cycle! No one pays for items but
have to pick up the items at your own expense and discretion. Visit them today and check out what is
available in your state.

4. Gym Membership! Find some of your favorite work out exercises on You
Tube! I have found many of them and they have been of high quality. You may
also consider walking at your local park with a friend. Nowadays, there are
game systems like the Wii game console or Xbox 360 where you can a purchase an
exercise game. When you think about it, a $36 fitness game can beat the costs
of membership monthly fees the year. For example, if you pay $14.99 a month for
gym membership this could cost you near $180.00 for the year. That $36 fitness
is looking great right. Also, you can find some exercise DVDs at your local
Goodwill store for less than $5.

5.  Checking Account! Ever thought of looking for FREE online checking
accounts?  Try to look for one that also offers online bill pay. 
Here are some resources:

 – Ally
– Capital One 360
–Perk Street Financial 
–USAA Checking
–Ever Bank

All of the above checking accounts are FDIC insured.
