Saving Money on your Monthly Bills

People are always trying to cut costs in their lives. However, often they aim too far in the long term. The easiest way to save money is to concentrate on a smaller time frame. Try cutting expenses on a monthly basis, and you will be amazed at how much money you can actually save. For starters, do you still pay monthly for a home phone line? If so, stop! Most people rarely use their home phone lines, opting to use their cell phones even in their house. You can often save even more money if you switch your cell phone provider. Monthly Internet bills can also really add up. If you are already paying for Internet on your phone, you can often use that Internet access on the computer by simply plugging in your cell phone. This is called “tethering” your phone to your computer. Cable bills are another area in which people often spend unnecessarily. Check out legal, free sites like Hulu.com or paid subscriptions like Netflix as alternatives to the traditional cable or satellite television. If you do not like watching your favorite shows and movies on that tiny computer screen, there are cords that can connect your computer to your television!

Re: New Accountability section? - Great idea, Evan! Monthly accountability is better for me. Let's do it!
Re: Which would you start: a Blog or Online Community? - It is a difficult decision to make. Lets start it this way - What are you more interested in? Money? or Friends? or Both? If its purely Money, then Blog might be an appropriate answer. But consider this - It will be people (visitors) that will bring traffic to your blog and then Money will follow. This will be possible after a time and during this time it will be your friends who will be the starters. If you are looking for friends only, then its true that not many will be interested in knowing how you have beaten them in the game or the other way round. So it will be preferable to have a Forum where they can share ideas with you and others. But you can share your insider knowledge with them and invite comments from your Blog. You can also put up information on what others (including your friends) don't know about Tennis. The blog you create can provide News, Inside Information and also Techniques that can be used by the new entrants in the world of Tennis.
Making Money in 2011 - Hello forum members! As we draw closer to the new year I thought it would be appropriate to change the title of our forum category "Making Money in 2010" to "Making Money in 2011" - I'm looking forward to some interesting discussions and wish everyone a prosperous New Year!
QuickBooks vs. Microsoft Money vs....? - I have always used Microsoft Money to run my business - accounting, invoicing, etc. It came with my computer when I got it and integrated well with my online banking system so everything is a breeze. It only takes 30-60 minutes every quarter to do the bookkeeping (keep in mind that I have a very simple business - no inventory, very little invoicing, I do all my payments by credit card, etc). Is QuickBooks or Money the best accounting tool for small business owners? Or is there something even better?
Re: What or Who Sparks Your Business Interest - It's interesting to see what the different motivations are by Age Category. I've noticed this around me: 20 to 29yr olds: Motivator: Money 30 to 39yr olds: Motivator: Success/Ambition 40 to 49yr olds: Motivator: Family comes first 50 to 59yr olds: Motivator: Leaving a legacy i've only gone that far in my analysis. Of course this is a braid generalization but I find that it helps direct my marketing to individuals in different age brackets. The product/service can be the same but the Marketing message (Benefit Statement) to a 20 year will revolve around "Money" vs. a 30-something would be on their "Self Image"
