A penny saved is a penny earned...

Well, maybe in Ben Franklin's day! Today we need to save more like a dollar to be able to say we earned a dollar (ok, 76 cents). Anyway, if we can save dollars, and earn dollars by telling other people how to save dollars, can it get any better than that? I used my discount card at a local restaurant the other day, and the manager and cashier both wanted more information...I gladly handed them a couple of my business cards. That's pretty easy stuff! To see a short movie for more information, go to:

Maybe what you said is right,however,I think I save money through I don't buy my snacks ,toys.
If I don't have supper in restaurant ,I can get about 50yuan (about seven dollars) to spend on others.
So I think the best way to save money is not wasting money.

That is true. I heard somebody today mention something about the "Latte Principal". It went something like this:
Suppose you spend $5 a day on a Latte at the local coffe shop. What would happen if you stopped paying the $5, bought a regular coffee for $1, and invested the $4 savings everyday at 10% interest? After 40 years, you'd have saved hundreds of thousands of dollars, somewhere close to 1 million. That's a lot of coffee!
