Saving Money: The Little Things Really Do Add Up

By , About.com GuideJanuary 13, 2007

Follow me on:

I've started to pay more attention to some of the bad habits that prevent me from saving money. For example, I'm quick to think "Oh, it's only $10" when I'm trying to decide whether I should buy something or not. Another problem is that I frequently don't get around to returning items, which is just ridiculous! Today I'm going to finish up some of those errands.

How about you? What are the bad habits that keep you from meeting your financial goals? What are some small steps you can take to turn those habits around? About's Guide to Frugal Living, Pat Veretto, does a great job of showing us just how quickly the "little things" add up in her article Little Things Mean a Lot.

Find out how much money you could be saving each year by applying just a few of her recommendations.
