I rarely participate in these comments, but I really have to share my story with 1 company which has tremendously helped me. I just turned 74, many obstacles have come in the way of my retirement including a divorce a few years ago which really hurt me financially, to be honest I had this feeling that my savings and SS income were not going to be enough. Months and months of research and dealing with big banks - nothing but a big headache and they wanted to charge an arm and leg - I was considering a standard home equity loan but then I started reading about reverse mortgages. Long story short, i found this company while searching online - reverse mortgage lenders direct - they were able to automatically compare lenders for me and quote me a fantastic quote. I am not saying you need to do a reverse mortgage (for me this has been excellent and recommendable) but if you do here is their number 877 700 0534 - you can find the site online search for reverse mortgage lenders direct .

Hahah you can quit smoking... but that will save the earth and your wallet cause cigarettes are SOO EXpensive! But honestly these are some really insightful ways to save money. i have a kid going to college in the fall and all i do is scan the internet for money saving ideas. The best idea yet is I actually switched MY ENTIRE family of six over to tracphones. That has us at about no joke--- 400 dollars a month of savings! plus there was a phone for all of us... a mom phone for me.. and a teenage phone for the kids. Personally I got SamsungT245G which was perfect for me because it has a camera and messaging and all that but I dont need something SUPERfancy. But the switch to prepaid was a hard one to make however the smartest decision my husband and I made. I was just sick and tired of contracts and random fees my kids would drive up. Just sorta one area so save and one area is a good start.
