The simple life....

Good morning to you all from a freezing cold Apex, NC

The best way to save of course is to make it a way of life. Simplying your lifestyle can save you thousands and even tens of thousands of dollars in a year.

Take for example how to save one day's savings on take out food: Coffee $3.00 + Lunch $5.00 + Dinner $8.00 plus tax would add up to roughly $17. Let's say you do this for 200 days out of the year, = $3,400. That is just for one person. Now compare that to making your own coffee at home and having cereal/hot breakfast at home, pack a sandwich or have last night's left overs for lunch and cook dinner at home. If you are a couple, that's a saving of $6,800. That's money towards your retirement savings or to pay down debts AND have that much deserved cruise vacation!
