I think most people would agree that saving money is something “easier said than done”. Personally, I believe it’s a mind-set that needs to be developed by creating good money-saving habits.

Here are some things I’ve done to help change my spending habits:

– Cook more at home ( Eating out is very expensive especially
if you do it a couple times a week
– Try shopping online ( You can find better deals than in the
store and you save on gas (I recommend HYPERLINK
“http://www.shoptivity.com” http://www.shoptivity.com)
– Pay the full balance on credit cards each month ( Interest
charge is like giving away free money
– Don’t forget to pay yourself ( Set up an online savings
account (they pay higher interest than a normal savings
account)
– Set a budget and goals ( It’s good to have your goals
written down so you see them everyday and don’t lose focus
on your ultimate objectives

Again, saving money requires a lot of patience and hard work. However, you’ll thank yourself later on in life. Good luck everyone!! =)

Hi Baila,
I didn’t realize you were moving so soon. I didn’t get a dishwasher myself till I had six kids! Now I’m totally dependent on it.

This is some really helpful tips. I have always just stacked all the dishes in the dishwasher until it’s completely full (probably too full), and that’s it.

I hardly ever scrape the dishes, although I know I should.

I’ve never thought about cleaning the dishwasher.

Thanks.

I use my dishwasher rarely. I mostly use it as a drying rack. I hate putting dirty dishes in the dishwasher and if I am rinsing them off I may as well just use soap and wash them. It’s an old dishwasher anyway and probably uses alot of energy and water. In our new place there is no room for a dishwasher so I will actually have to buy a drying rack.
