My wife, the co-author of this book, asked me to write this part of the book in the hopes that it will encourage readers to save money. I have to say that I am glad she asked because I think that I agree with most of the advice she gives. However, I’m not sure that all of it is really money-saving advice.

First, I would suggest that everyone read through our guide to budgeting to see where your money is going.


When it comes to money, and especially when it comes to saving money, I think that all things being equal, the best thing you can do is to save. What I mean by that is, if your goal is to save up, try to save what you can. This also applies if you want to do a budget. If you want to save, you will need to make some important decisions.

Buying a house is a big expense. One of the most expensive things you can do is to get a loan. That way you can pay off the loan in four and five years, which is a very long time. If you don't pay off your loan, you'll still have to pay the interest. However, if you pay off your loan early, you'll get to keep the cash in the bank as long as you continue to pay down the debt.


The process of making a loan can be intimidating.


You need to put a lot of time and care into it. If you don't, you'll be behind in your payments and your lender will find out. The lender will want to see you pay back the loan as soon as possible, so they want to see as little as possible in the way of paperwork.

While it's not always possible to avoid interest altogether, it's one of the major reasons not to pay off your debt early. With the right amount of effort, you can lower the interest rate, and get your loan repaid in full.


The most important thing to remember when it comes to paying off your debt is that you should be paying it off in full.


This is especially true if your lender is asking that you pay it down as much as you can. If you are on the hook for a great deal of your debt (such as $5,000 at a loan officer) you should probably take advantage of it.


I know this is a big one, but when a loan officer is asking for a monthly payment, it’s a good idea to tell them if you’re making any progress. If you’re not making any progress, it’s probably a good idea to tell them. The best way to do this is by asking them direct questions about the status of your payments.
