The coupon is active again. Sorry for the hassle. Justin,

I was disappointed to see what happened when I tried to checkout. In your post you wrote that 50% off is valid until Janurary 31, 2012. Well.....today is the 31st and I tried entering that code and it says the code has expired. Good work on the content, but disappointed about the checkout result. Justin Hey Craig,

I found my bank offers CSV format. So I searched on the web and found a few programs that "no touch" upload function for my bank details into a database for personal marking and tracking. Currently I am using a program called bank2budget free trial and it looks good so far. It offers my bank format so you would have to check to see if your bank is offered. Good luck to us all and thanks for christian touch you are offering. Hi,

It's definitely difficult to get started on budgeting, but in this economy, I really had no choice. One super helpful tip that I wanted to pass on- I was having trouble keeping my cell phone bill within my budget range because even though I was on a contract, I paid different amounts each month. I'd get hidden fees or overages, which threw everything off. Then I started to hear all this buzz about prepaid cellphone companies. I'd recommend it to anyone in the same boat I was in!

As i grew older i realize that i do have enough money, no matter how little, i just have to cut off my spending. I had to change my attitude towards spending and afterwhich, my savings grew. At least i was able to realize this before i got my first credit card. This saved me a lot of trouble and was able to stay away from bad credit rating. So I'm grateful I was able to realize things soon. Thanks for this great article. i used to think that i dont make enough money for me to be able to save money.
