Increase Revenue, Decrease Cost

I started a new website dedicated to helping readers build net worth through increasing revenues and decreasing costs. The site's URL: www.increaserevenuedecreasecost.com pretty much sums up my objectives.

This should be an effective arena for readers to start to make the necessary tweaks in their life to optimize income. I would suggest everyone check out the site when you get a chance.

Thanks in advance!

What You Can Do Today To Be Rich in the Future

I was looking in the archives of one of my favorite blogs, The Simple Dollar, and I came across a great post detailing 18 tips that can save the average person over $4,000 a year! A great deal of these suggestions are new to me so I thought I would share the link.

To take this post one step furthur, I calcuated the benefits of living by these tips and depositing the average savings into a Roth IRA retirement account and assumed a 10% return on the account. The results are outstanding:

You would have almost $2,607,000 in your account when you retire at 65. This value is created simply by depositing the money you saved through the years.
