More Money For The Good Things In Life
One of the things I like to write about here at My Rich Pickings is saving money and especially saving money with the help of online resources. Recently I checked out my finances and discovered that simply by switching a couple of service providers I could save just over £50 per month. That might not sound much (or maybe it does?), but over the course of a year it is £600 - and that is a fair chunk of cash to add to the holiday or Christmas fund.
The first thing I looked at was my telephone account. I found that by switching to a combined broadband and telephone provider I immediately saved £25 per month, certainly not to be sneezed at. The account I have is with Tiscali but there are other offers out there.
Next, I looked at life and home insurance policies and was stunned to learn that the joint life assurance policy I have with my wife could be cut by almost 50%! (This was helped by the fact that I gave up smoking almost two years ago). The home insurance wasn't quite so stunning but I did save over £5 per month very quickly and easily.
All in all this adds up to a very respectable amount of cash that I wouldn't have, and it was saved simply by checking out my direct debits and then seeing if there were cheaper offers out there. The great thing is that it is so easy to compare prices nowadays with price comparison sites such as www.moneysupermarket.com and www.gocompare.com
I could go even further and see if I could save even more money on my mortgage, car insurance, gas and electricity, etc. In fact that's exactly what I'm going to do! But not before I pay some very close attention to what is probably the best money saving Website on the whole Internet - www.moneysavingexpert.com - This guy (Martin Lewis) certainly knows his stuff.
Try it yourself and see just how much more money you could have in your pocket for the good things in life...

Good job.
I think we all can save a little money on everthing as well. Now a days its all about convenience and know one really looks for the better deals anymore. If its there we get it. Which can cost us more in the meantime.
