Question

What steps have you taken to control your supply of money and to secure your future?

Answer 1

slowly lower the money i was investing in stocks and putting into short term  cds!!

Answer 2

2 yrs ago i took Jr's words to heart..  there will be no social security by the time I get to age 62, (only 16 yrs away) so i decided to act like him and start taking Sales Tax more seriously. By saving every receipt for gas, and purchases I can deduct THAT tax amount from my yr-end gross instead of the measly 2.something they take from my check. Thus they have LESS of my money to steal. I also refuse to pay for name brand when most name brands actually make the generic anyway. Go out to eat? NO WAY, i learned how to cook instead. And most important..  BUY AMERICAN!

Answer 3

I created an excel sheet that tracks my income, expenses, budgets and automatically calculates my taxes for me, and projects what I will owe (or what refund i will get) when I file my tax returns.  This way I can see what I'm spending money on and what I'm actually saving.

Answer 4

Most of my money goes in my gas tank.
