9. Talk about your money to your partner. This may be a little hard. I know that Margaret and I have tried to sit down and go over our finances with our husbands. Within 2 minutes there eyes glass over and within 4 minutes they are changing the subject. If this is the case, maybe find a money buddy who you trust and can share with to help you keep on track.

10. Automate your savings. This is easy these days. More and more financial companies and credit cards are offering a plan that if you add a specific amount to your savings account every month for 12 months, they will add that amount to your for free. TD Ameritrade offers this savings account. I have them automatically take $100.00 out of my checking account every month. This last December they added an extra $100.00 to my account. It has been proven that if you have money deposited directly into a savings account by your company, you don't miss it and it stays in the savings. Find a program that will work best for you and have it automatically taken out of your paycheck or checking account.
