Tip of the Day

Tip to #save when shopping: You can #save more than 10% by comparing prices at different stores.

Consejo del Día

Mantenga un registro de sus gastos. Una vez al mes, use los registros de tarjetas de crédito, cuentas de cheques y otras cuentas para repasar lo que ha comprado. Entonces, pregúntese a sí mismo si tiene sentido reasignar algunos de estos gastos a una cuenta de ahorro para casos de emergencia.
