How to Double Your Savings Rate in 2011

Save, save, save! Don't buy silly things you don't need. Don't get stuck paying high prices for hair dressers or barbers or manicurists or waiters. Remember, they don't care a bit for you but they care a great deal for your money.
Don't get sucked in by fancy stores, they may seem trendy but behind the scenes they are just particle board and paint, nothing of quality. Take a good look at them, they offer flimsy stuff at huge prices, it's all made in China so what's the difference? The illusion is what they sell.
Be smart, don't buy!

These are good suggestions, to which I would add the following:
Revisit your cellphone plan. If you consistently have unused minutes, you may be overpaying.
Kick a bad habit. It may be cigarettes or too many lattes, but bad habits tend to have a hefty price tag, even before you consider medical costs.

In fact, under new health care reform your health insurance company will no longer be allowed to cancel your policy if you get sick, we should be doing this already! search online "Wise Health Insurance" it is a good place to find insurance if you have illness like me.
