Save Your Money

Everywhere we turn these days, people are talking about the economy. And no one feels the pressure of rising prices and dwindling investments as much as someone on a fixed income.

For that reason, we have put together a great package this month of information about how to save as well as how to make your money work for you.

Our “15 Ways to Save” opening article offers up sound tips on how to keep your cash in your pocket while “Save Your Energy Dollars at Home” gives you solid advice on ways to cut your electric bill.

A money expert weighs in on your investments – which to tap into now and which to leave alone for a greater return in the long run. We also have an important piece on tax advice for the recently widowed by a leading legal writer.

With “Cut Your Medical Costs” we hunt down ways for you to save on medical bills. And “Weak in the Knees” arms you with important information to keep the most stressed joint of your body healthy.

You’ll also want to save money when cooking your Thanksgiving feast this year so we decided to take it a step further and offer you some time saving cooking recipes as well in our “Slow Cooker Sides.”

And while all the financial news may be bleak, remember to look at what you have, and treasure your family and friends. Happy Thanksgiving!
