Clark Howard, a money coach www.clarkhoward.com has been doing segments on CNN Headline News in the morning. I thought I would share some of the simple tips he's given to help people save. Some you may know, some you may not:
1. Take your lunch to work
2. Find a meter or look for free parking -- never valet
3. If you can only pay your minimum credit card payment, pay half of the minimum, every 14 days (giving you an extra payment and less interest penalties).
4. Don't order appetizers and desserts at restaurants -- they have the highest mark-up.
5. Make a solid plan for what you want to achieve.
Aside from these tips, Clark has a section of his site called "Free and Cheap" with links to free or inexpensive deals. Consider bookmarking it and checking it out before you go shopping.
