    I am with you on all of those except for changing your withholding. This is something that I used to agree with but Ramit at iwillteachyoutoberich.com convinced me otherwise. Let's face it, how much are you going to make in interest by doing this? $10/year? For advanced savers this might be worth it, but for your average person, getting a tax refund once a year is THE best way to save automatically. Most people can't be trusted with a "raise." Instead, let them keep getting that one, significant check and stress that they put it into their high-yield account.

    How do you know if you will get a tax refund or not? And, how can you direct it to your savings account? Talk to the HR person?

    I think a great way to save money is by using coupons. Foreget the 401k. Realistically in the short term (while you need the money) coupons save me 30-40 dollars for my family everytime I go to the grocery store. I usually just boom, print them offline from Smart Source
