Money Saving Tips

To most people, “Money-Saving Tips” sounds more like “All the Things I Refuse to Do, That’s Why I’m in This Mess.”

Who really wants to track all their expenses, kiss their daily nonfat caramel macchiato goodbye, or vacation in the off-season? Let’s face it; buying 500 rolls of toilet paper doesn’t feel sexy, and you’re more likely to cut out your own kidney than cut up your credit cards.

We realize saving money isn’t always effortless and pain-free. So we came up with a short list of realistic money savers that won’t make you wince:

Shop Online for Car Insurance

Saving a couple hundred dollars in 15 minutes could go down as one of the easiest returns on investment, especially in these economic times. Visit our Insurance Center to shop for the best rate, and spend the money you save on some new “Doggles” for the pooch.

Sign Up for a Free Credit Report

Quit paying membership dues to the gym you haven’t visited in months and focus instead on the health of your credit score. By regularly monitoring the activity that gets reported under your Social Security number, you could prevent identity theft and the utter anguish that goes along with rebuilding your score.

Attend Traffic School

Getting pulled over can be traumatizing. Other drivers gawk as they pass, shaking their heads. And you drive away, cowering and left alone to contemplate all the things you could have done to avoid getting a ticket. Luckily taking a traffic school course might reduce the sting of your citation and could get you a discount on your insurance.

Order a Vehicle History Report

Would you make a hasty decision such as accepting a job offer without knowing whether the company forces its employees into playing team-building games such as the Great Egg Drop or the Trust Fall? Then why would you purchase a car without first checking out its vehicle history report?
