Junk Mail, Email, and Telemarketing
Here is a great article from Get Rich Slowly on stopping junk mail, email, and telemarketing calls. I have registered with OptOutPrescreen.com and National Do-Not-Call Registry. I registered with the do not call registry before, unfortunately I have started receiving calls again. I think it is because my husband or I registered for some drawing or something and our names were put back on the list. We will see if it will make a difference.

Economic Stimulus
Another interesting note from Get Rich Slowly (can you tell I read his articles everyday) about adding 10% to your Economic Stimulus rebate. Some stores are offering to exchange your rebate for store gift cards and adding 10%. It seem Kroger has started this trend with Sears and Kmart joining in.

6 Ways to Find Additional Money
I have read oodles of articles about ways to save money. Ron at The Wisdom Journal has made a list with a couple of new ways that I have not thought of or read before. My most favorite is
“If you’re paid bi-weekly, condition yourself to live on two paychecks per month. If you’re paid weekly, live on four paychecks per month. When an extra pay period hits in a month, put that entire check into savings. You’ll save over 7 percent of your income with this technique.”
