Posted by Frank
April 15, 2009

Give yourself a raise and cut unnecessary monthly expenses out of your budget.  Saving approximately $200/month is similar to getting a $5,000 raise when you consider taxes and other miscellaneous paycheck deductions.  This may seem like a good, but unrealistic idea–perhaps, but at least look at your expenses and see if you can cut some [...]
