Live Below Your Means

I would like to discuss thrifty living with my readers now as it can be a major contributor to becoming debt free forever. First, creating a spreadsheet that pinpoints where your money is going is important and once you know that you can begin to focus on ways to cut down on expenses, I like to call this debt strategy as you are essentially developing your system for how you plan to become debt free. Some ways you can save money include:

1. Cook a large meal and eat left overs several times during the week instead of eating out.
2. Keep your car tuned up and tire pressure checked as a way to save gas.
3. Take shorter showers
4. Turn off lights when you leave a room.
5. Adding a brick to the reservoir of your toilet displaces water and can save money in the long run.
6. Ride a bike to anyplace you can get to thats nearby instead of taking your car.
7. Pay off your credit cards and do not reuse them.
8. Carpool to work or take public transportation
9. Shop thrift stores or yard sales for deals
10. Buy generic brands when you grocery shop.

There are ten ways to live a more thrifty lifestyle off the top of my head. What other ways can you think of?

New Texas Hold-Em Tips and Tricks Site Launches

This one is for all you Poker players out there. Texas Hold-Em Tips and Tricks is officially live and judging from what I have seen so far, I would say this site is going places. I myself am not a big poker player as I prefer to not risk my money, however if I were going to I would approach it as I do everything else in my life and learn all I could about it prior to sitting down and placing my first chip in the pot. This site is where I would go to research everything from when to hold-em to when to fold-em and even how to deal. The overall site design is excellent and easy to navigate and the forums seem to be filling up with knowledgeable people to answer your questions. I have seen a few other sites like it but none that caught my interest from start to finish. Now all you Poker players head on over and see if you can improve your game through a little research.

Animal Cruelty

The only time most of us even think of animal cruelty is when we see some celebrity sports star arrested for illegal dog fighting but animal cruelty does not begin or end there. Paws4Life is a blog that focuses on bringing animal cruelty to light in hopes of helping the public become more aware. This is an ever growing problem that, as early as last year, even reached into the ranks of PETA when a few of their workers went to a shelter and adopted a lot of animals only to kill them and dump their bodies in a dumpster down the street. I myself am not some die hard save the animals type person, I do eat meat every meal, however I would not go out of my way to intentionally harm a dog or kitten, and I dislike cats. Still, just because I would not own one does not mean I don't recognize their right to life. This blog is worth looking at, especially for all the animal lovers.

My New Blog

I have finally started a new blog but I will not be reviewing it as I would be quite biased in my opinion. Anyone interested in checking it out can find it at Entrepreneur Life. I welcome any and all comments.
