Good advice and important in their understandable simplicity. Often advice for saving can be depressing or complicated enough to set aside for a later moment which never comes. A good idea is to turn off the hot water when you leave for work. Why heat the water all day when no one is home?

Good point buck. We switched over to a tankless water heater. It heats the water instantly and only when you need it. Why pay to keep it warm all day.

Actually I read that 40% statistic is vastly overinflated. "Phantom" electricity use is a very tiny portion of your overall bill for the vast majority of households.

I have achieved real savings by switching to a 'Tracfone' prepaid cellphone. At the moment I'm paying $9.99 per month for 50 minutes, and the costs can't go over budget as they can on a contract.
