Great list of ways to simplify your finances. I am inspired by your last year post regarding $5 savings plan. Thanks for sharing.

I’d love to hear more about giving generously. I’m feeling the financial pinch and have noticed that I’ve started to get more greedy about sharing my money. I don’t want to spend as much on presents, I don’t tip as much and I’ve stopped giving to charity. I’m ready to start giving generously to charity again (if I can get my husband on board); but I’m hesitant about gift giving to family and friends, especially when they already have so much stuff, I’m afraid my gift will be wasted money. What are your thoughts?

In reply to Financial Samurai. Thanks for the great advice to use Mint (my personal fave) or Personal Capital to manage finances, Sam. I am going to check out those social sharing plugins right away, too! :-)

In reply to Kimberly. Kimberly, I hear you! Some months I do better than other months. I've started jotting a monthly list of the exact amounts and dates I want to pay off bills and debts each month on my "To Do" list. It's very satisfying to pay them off, and for some reason having it right there in front of me keeps me focused on the goals. I don't know if this would help you or not, but thought I'd share it. Good luck! I'm pulling for you!! xo

Hi Eliza,

I simplify my finances using free online software like Personal Capital or Mint to keep track and not have to worry about logging into so many accounts.

Thanks for your nice thorough post. One recommendation I have for you is to add some social sharing plugins like Shareholic, or ShareThis so people can retweet and like your stuff!
