| any increase in salary that my husband or i get is always deducted to savings. we've been doing this for a few years and don't miss the raise. of course our children are leaving home so our expenses are dropping too. we need to save fast as we started out making a big debt. |

| I agree with this tip. We take any increase in salary and increase the amount to the 401(k). You don't miss it plus you're getting the extra contribution from the employer. Or, stick it in an IRA and get an extra tax break. |

This is a great tip! I'm going to be getting a raise soon, and I've been comfortable on what I am currently making. I think I will put the difference towards my last credit card, and then into savings!
Thanks! |

| I think this is a wonderful way to save, because you're already used to living on the old money level. We did this before we bought a house and used all the 'extra' money to save up a downpayment. |

| We used this phiolosophy as well. Any extra from a raise we just added to our monthly mortgage payment to pay it down faster. |
