So, whenever I banked my check at the end of the month, $600 automatically disappeared from my savings account. Start Using Cash This is a wonderful way to save money. Believe me!

For the most part, I am perfectly happy being at home. While this philosophy may not be the best boost for my social life, it is a great boost for my savings account! That’s right… my primary hobbies (vegetable gardening and learning all I can about saving money) actually pay for themselves! I Am A Homebody.

Maybe even use to start up a 2017 holiday savings account. Shop at Home. Last year, I accumulated over $400 cash back from my holiday shopping. I use it to treat myself, but you can use it however you wish. Or pay off the credit cards you may have used over the holidays. It doesn’t matter how you use it, just use it.
