Money Saving Tip - Keep Track

Today's great money saving tip is....

Keep Track:

It is important to have an understanding of where your money
goes. Keep a journal where you can see your successes when it
comes to saving money. This can be a bit challenging and takes
time to learn, but it's worth it. By keeping a list of the ways you
have saved money in front of you, you will be more encouraged to
keep going. These successes can be small or large.

For example, if you normally buy your lunch, costing you from
$5.00 to $7.00 per day and one week straight you packed your
own lunch for $3.00 per day that is a success. If you wanted to
buy a new pair of shoes, but held off until it went on sale, saving
50%, that is another success.

Saving money requires some investigative skills, desire,
determination, and creativity. Once you get in the habit of saving
money, you will feel better about yourself and enjoy life much
more without debt hanging over your head!

EXTRA TIP Almost everyone over 60 looks for senior fares and rates, at the same time The National Park Service
offers some outstanding programs for folks.
First off the Golden Age Passports for those 62 years and older offers permanent benefits to the holders. The entrance to any National Park should have the current details on cost and benefits. Another lesser known pass is the Golden Access Passport for Blind or Permanently disabled persons.
Little time on your hands, wanting to enjoy a month or more vacation at little or no cost? The National Park Service Volunteer-In-Park Program would be well worth looking into. Think about Volunteer Programs for your special interests, talents and spare time.
