If 2009 was the year of the financial loss, 2010 must be the year that we wise women focus on what we have!

Have you ever heard the saying; “The best things in life are free?” Below are 5 suggestions (I am sure you can come up with many more) on how to reduce that “material girl” instinct and still live the life of your dreams.

1. Give up the gym membership and meet a friend for daily walks.
2. Entertain more at home with family and friends.
3. Borrow best seller books from the library.
4. Invest in Relationships. Take your kids to open a savings account at the local bank and let them make deposits. Even at $1.00 per month they will learn the value of saving money and you will enjoy the “ah ha” moment they get when they see their bank balance!
