Greetings Thrifty Friends,

Does your budget never seem to balance the way it should?
Are you constantly digging into the savings to make ends
meet? It's time to take a good look at essential components
you might be missing or you have not allowed sufficiently
for in your household budget plan.

Keep pinchin' those pennies,
Penny

TODAY'S THRIFTY TIP:

* Failure to Plan for Inevitable Expenses

If you pay property, auto, health and life insurance on a
monthly basis you are paying additional fees. Budget for
lump sum payments and save the fees!

* Clothing

This is often considered an incidental expense which means
it usually goes on the credit card. Set aside a monthly
clothing budget. If you don't use it, roll it over and you
will have twice as much to spend next month, etc...

* School Supplies

This is another one you just can't omit if you have kids.

* Pet Care

If you have a pet, you have expenses that come with it.
Vaccinations, flea control, veterinarian, and food are
just a few. Consider the monthly and yearly cost of owning
a pet when buying.

* No Emergency Fund

In addition to insurance, clothing, pet care and other
incidentals, everyone should have an emergency fund some-
where. This is in addition to your 401ks IRAs and any
other long-term investments. If the transmission suddenly
falls out of the bottom of your vehicle you don't want to
have to liquidate your retirement account to replace or
fix it!
