ING DIRECT has some helpful savings tips to get you on your way to savings.
Put part of your salary into a separate savings account... $50 a week = $2,600 in just 12 months
Create a weekly budget and stick to it
Turn off appliances at power points to reduce your electricity bill
Pack your lunch rather than buying it each day
Avoid carrying your credit card in your wallet - this prevents impulse buying!
