Introduction

Ben Franklin said A penny saved is a penny earned. He lived in a time when there were no social security taxes, no state income taxes, and no federal income taxes. If he were alive today he might say $10 saved is $13 to $16 earned, depending on your tax bracket and place of residence. And money-saving tips is what this site is all about.

About the Author

Skip at desk Hi! My name is Skip. I'm just a regular guy that wants to share some real-life money-saving experiences with you. This is not one of those sites that explains how eliminating a daily tall decaf non-fat latte will turn into a fortune in 30 or 40 years. Rather, I have collected a number of stories about how people have saved money without giving things up. I live in the Chicago area and so some of my personal experiences are specific to my locale. Click on the topics on the right side of this page for some examples. New topics will be added regularly so please check back often.
