We are trying to save money for things we need or want. Most of the time it ends up being what we need. So, we have decided to turn off the satellite and enjoy more reading or walking outside or go for a motorcycle ride which is still less expensive these days than TV, especially if you only get to watch a show or two in an evening. We found we will save about $60.00 just by turning off the TV and doing other things to occupy our minds.

This blog asks a simple question: "What are you saving for?" Its goal is to help people set savings goals, develop a disciplined and/or systematic savings habit, and build a corresponding community of like-minded people as a support network. By laughing, crying, and discussing how we each approach this topic together, we should find it much easier to save together. So what are you saving for?
Why pay for it if you are not watching it? Matt Davis realized he could save over $700 a year when he turned off his digital cable (read WAYSFER post “Bye Bye Cable” from 4/12). It would be one less bill. All you need is an antenna and you can enjoy high definition digital channels for free.
