Great Way to Explain the "Fiscal Cliff" and ways to save your hard-earned dollar!

Just a few tid-bits for you.....after all savings can start with just a few dollars a day.  Those same dollars saved can equal hundreds at the end of the year. 

Time to take a good look at your utility bills.  Also, while you are looking, please examine your tax bill.  I just found out that my county has failed to give me the homestead tax reduction" or the "2.5% home reduction" ..

Here's a great link to help your child (and you) understand the "Fiscal Cliff."
