Even though the video above has nothing to do with my two best ways to save money I enjoyed watching it and does deal with saving money so enjoy it.
Since the goal of this blog is to entice us to become fanacially free learning the best ways to save money is an essential element. Here are two of the easiest ways top save money. Now always remember that we are saving this money so that we can sock it away in our savings accounts. The first and most important account is our emergency fund. We must get three to six months set aside for those unexpected thigns that will eat us out of house and home. So don’t just save money put away what you do save.
The first way to save money is to walk away from all those extended warranty sales pitches you get when you buy anything electronic, appliances and other large items like snowblowers and air conditioners. The stuff we purchase today is already warrantied for so many months and if it makes it through the intitial warranty it is very unlikely and very rare for them to break.
The second best way to save money is to buy your seasonal items during off-season times. If you can find a snowblower in April, May or June you will be able to save over and above 50% on it. If you are going to buy a snowblower for next Winter anyways then get it a few months early and then put what you saved into your emergency fund. The same goes for your lawnmower, fishing supplies or rototiller and the list is only shortened by your lack of imagination.

In order to combat the problems brought on by our poor economy many families are taking back control of their spending and actually discovering that they can live on less money. Here is what the Gallup poll found out recently:
When we ask ourselves the question “What is financial freedom?” we sometimes think thoughts like this:
In reality I believe that true financial freedom is in our minds as we get control over our finances regardless of how much money we have. In actuality it is simply getting total control over what we have and living within our means. One of the main reasons we are in the dire straights we are in with our economy today is because so many wanted to live way higher than they were able too. Buying houses too large and expensive, buying the bigger more luxurious automobile or SUV and basically living high on the hog.
