I use the one hour rule. Save 1 hour wages everyday you work. 2.Save all your 1 and 5 dollar bills. Its not much but it will add up in due time. The list on this video is excellent.

On the cable I literally just did that.. I didn't have cable but I had internet with a company I had been with since 1995. Every year they raised the price till it was $100 a month this year and with it, poor service. I called AT&T got it down to $50 a month.. granted a year from now it will go to $80 a month but the price is locked in for the next 5 years. Still will save me $20 plus another $10 that my current company would have tacked on again next year. Every penny counts as a senior. Anna In Ohio
