Tips

Save Time - Call it the "two-minute rule": when an item at work or at home comes up that takes two minutes or less to complete, do it immediately. It's one less thing to add to your list.
Save Money - Track every expense to save money (spreadsheet, online banking tools, budget software, etc.). By knowing where all your money goes, you can begin to prioritize where you can save.
Save for the Future - Make a serious effort to define your goals today. How much will college cost? When are you buying a house and what is your realistic budget? When do you want to retire? How much will you need in retirement?
Save Time - Two words for you: meal planning. If your family eats dinner at home seven nights a week, it's easier to plan and shop for those meals all at once. It saves time and money, too, as you are more inclined to stick to your list at the grocery store rather than splurging on impulse items.
Save Money - A radical idea: if you think of saving as priority, a central goal in itself, every time you rent a movie, eat at a restaurant, buy a coffee or luxury item, you are delaying your goal. Alternately, if it helps make you save money, when you do spend money on luxury items, transfer an equal amount into your savings at the same time.
Save for the Future - Spend less than you earn. Crazy idea, right? How do you achieve this? Start with a budget. Knowing your income vs. your expenses will help you reduce the need to borrow (credit cards, loans) and allow you to save for the future.
