Save money tips

Also unplug things like cell phone chargers, power adapeters etc that are not being used. They consume energy even when things are not plugged into them. If you don’t commute and don’t have to get gas every few days, only get it when its low. Switch your bbq from propane to natural gas if you can. I’m sure I am forgetting tons of things I do and don’t eve think about, I’ll post again as I think of them.
Another little trick is to turn your central air unit off at the fuse box (in the winter). This can save over $25.00 over the course of the winter and you won’t even notice.

C hanging jobs can be an extremely stressful time. It can also be a great transition with better opportunities for growth. There are certain things you can do to make the transition go as smoothly as possible. Some things are out of your control. Others may need some work to manage well. Jobs like relationships, are sometimes difficult to end. When things aren’t working out, it may be time to move on . Sharing that news with your supervisor has the potential to get messy, especially if the news comes as a surprise. If like me, you have multiple supervisors, it can go both ways. Keep it Simple When writing a formal letter of resignation, it can be temping to give reasons and for some, those reasons can be laced with resentment and negativity. An exit interview, if you are given the opportunity, is the better time to gently share your true reasons for leaving. Your resignation letter just needs the basics. Date Dear ____________, Please accept my resignation from (insert company name and position here) effective (insert date here). Thank-you for __________. (Ideas might include, 12 years of great service, many opportunities for professional growth, being a mentor for these past years. If you can’t think of anything nice to say, leave it at thank-you.) Sincerely, (your name) Give appropriate notice For many jobs, two weeks notice is appropriate. For other positions, you’ll need much longer than that. For part of my last job, I was an instructor for a two week course that ran 4 times a year. Giving two weeks notice would not have been enough time. Instead I timed the transition in such a way to give over 3 months notice for them to find someone else and train them for that role. Keep your cool if things get messy Like relationships, some bosses can take it personally when you decide to leave. In my case one supervisor was kind and gracious saying that I’d be missed but that he understood my situation. The other, not so much. He nearly went off the deep end. I didn’t take it as a compliment but rather confirmation I was doing the right thing by leaving. It took everything in me not to get defensive, especially after repeated conversations begging to me to stay and not accepting my resignation. Is that even possible when I had already secured another job? He’s still calling me two months later, acting like a jealous ex-boyfriend using everything in his arsenal to try and get me back. I finally had to contact my other supervisor to explain the situation and ask that he stop contacting me. It was difficult to stay calm and not lose my temper when faced with an unreasonable and inappropriate response. Leaving well means rising above things and staying professional when things get ugly. Tie Up Loose Ends It can be difficult to focus in the those last few weeks. You’ve landed another job. You are looking forward to the next chapter in your life. You still have work to do at this job and need to tie up loose ends. This might include such things as: finishing up projects thanking helpful colleagues and great supervisors letting your clients know when you’ll be leaving and who’ll be replacing you tidying up your workspace completing your final expense reports Train the next person It’s nice to feel irreplaceable but when it comes to leaving well, someone else needs to know what you’ve been doing and how you’ve been doing it. They may find their own ways over time and change things up and that’s great too. What you don’t want is for people to wonder what you ever did or for the person coming in to have to re-create everything you took years to perfect. You won’t always have the time to train your replacement. In the time you’ve given notice, they need to hire someone else. Hiring can take time unless there is a natural opening for someone else in the office. If you can’t train the person directly, make sure you leave detailed notes or a training manual. Final Thoughts Some people don’t have the opportunity to leave well. Just recently my uncle, a middle manager with the government for over thirty years was called into the office, given ten minutes to gather his things and was escorted out the door with a non negotiable early retirement package. He hadn’t done anything wrong. It was just another round of impersonal middle management layoffs. There was no time to train someone else or to transition well. There wasn’t even time to process what happened. Fortunately he’d escaped the first few rounds of lay-offs so he knew the the potential was there. It still doesn’t make the transition to retirement any easier with you’ve only been given a ten minute warning. When you are the one making the decision to leave for another job, it’s important to keep it professional. Even if you move to a completely different industry in another city, you’ll never know whose path you’ll cross again. You build your reputation over your career and the grace with which you transition jobs can be a great testament to your character not to mention future references you may need. What is your advice on transitioning well from one job to another? Any lessons you learned the hard way? Kathryn has been a staff writer for MDJ since January 2009.

Breaking Up is Hard to Do: Transitioning Well from One Job to Another

A good money-saving technique is to cancel any “credit insurance” that you might have via your bank - this insurance is sometimes called “mortgage insurance” or “balance protection”.
Also the local grocery stores puts 30-60% off the meat the day before or the day it expires. I get what I can and freeze it for the future, I’ve yet to have a bad meal from it. Also I look at my recepit when I get home and look at the items that cost the most, and try and find them cheaper or else where nex round. I sell things I am never going to use again on local classifieds. I also purchase many items from classifieds at a fraction of the retail cost. I use CFL and LED lights around the house. You can get LED night lights at walmart that only use 0.3W and will light up a bathroom, hallway, stairwell, or a kids bedroom nicely during the night and they turn off during the day with a sensor.

As MarketPlace noted, the banks love selling these “insurance” packages, because there is very little chance that they will ever pay out, and even if something bad happens, there’s a good chance that they won’t pay out then either. Save your money, get a good standard term life insurance policy, and avoid padding the bank’s profits.
“Banks make money primarily by borrowing money from people and lending it out to other people. They pay lower rates of interest on the money borrowed, and charge higher rates of interest on the money lent out. The difference in the interest rates provides the bank with quite a bit of revenue.Money borrowed by banks = chequing and savings accounts.
Money lent by banks = loans, mortgages, lines of credit. The money banks earn from service charges and fees are just gravy for the banks, and some banks have figured out how to cut their costs and charge no fees. A couple of examples are ING and PC Financial, but there are others.There are some drawbacks to these accounts (they may have fewer features, or have fewer ATM machines in their networks), but the main advantage is that they don’t charge monthly fees. They also tend to pay more interest than the “big bank” accounts.”

Best ways to save money

:

Get rid of your bar fridge. It really is a power hog and oftentimes is mostly empty anyways. If you have a party get some ice chests/ coolers and ice. Use you coldroom in the winter (works great too).
Get rid of your gas guzzler! I had a van prior to the price of gas hitting the $100 barrel mark and switched to a small sub-compact car (wagon) and I have no regrets.You may fill up with the same frequency but I would rather fill my tank with $45 than $65-85 or more for many large vans and trucks.
Good money management is an acquired skill. As you go forward with the process of saving monay, you need to have a positive attitude which is often what will keep you and your family headed in the right direction.

Best way to save money

Last but not least, we have to have fun.. Every paycheque, we give each other an X amount of dollars that’s ours to do whatever. I mean, he’s a golfer, I gotta keep him happy. I’m finding we’re sticking to our budget better this way. Once we run out of that, it’s over.. wait till payday…
Learn how to enjoy life and nature rather than possessions. Being happy in life is far better than buying item after item. Having an inner peace is better than having a house filled with “things”. This does not mean that you can’t enjoy some of the finer things in life, it just means learning how to be happy with yourself and not “things”.
Look for classic pieces of clothes and often in black, or white that are easy to mix and match and that won’t go out of style. I’ve stopped doing the value village things there, as I found I tended to not wear many of the “deals” I was picking up. They say most people only wear ten percent of their wardrobe so why bother to buy 90 percent you won’t wear?
