Six Exercises That Will Help You Save Money

This is a great game to play with the kids. When you give kids a goal to reduce the amount of energy used as part of a game, you may be surprised at how much more willing they are to help reduce energy costs compared to when you constantly remind them to turn off the lights.

Live a Raise Behind Game:

If you can learn to incorporate this game into your living habits, you won't need to play any of the other money saving games and will still end up with a nice retirement nest egg. It's one of the easiest ways to save a large amount of money over time. The next time you get a raise, instead of increasing your lifestyle to use up the raise, continue to live as if you never received it, placing the difference into your special account.

The next raise after that, you move your lifestyle spending habits up to where the previous raise had been, so after skipping the first raise, there isn't even any pain involved. You get a raise, just the one that you gave up the first time, meaning that you are always living on the money from one raise behind what you are actually receiving.

Continue Payment Game

This is an effective game to help save money once you get into the habit of making certain payments each month and it is much like the method used to help pay off credit card debt. When you have a bill that is finally paid off in full, instead of using the newly freed up money to buy something else, continue making the payment, only to yourself and into your special account.
