All the tips are good but don’t forget regular exercise. Save money and buy a stationary bike (for aerobics) and a home gym, as it’s far cheaper than health clubs. Buying this stuff is the easy part, having the discipline to formulate and practice an exercise regimum is the hard part. I’m 72 yrs old and have exercised regularly most of my life but this year I still had a mini stroke. Now I literally pedal for my independence. Another tip is to take a minute and learn about stroke (use the internet). A lot of people have mini strokes and don’t know it. At my age I fear stroke more than I do death. Take a walk through a nursing home sometime.

maybe we could also limit the time one spends on internet surfing especially for those who are charged per minute. This would not only lessen expenses but would also help avoid Computer Vision Syndrome as well as aching back

oh, and for the tanning, a high percentage of health care professionals believe that artifical UV rays can cause skin cancer…..there’s always the sun

Some good tips. Another way to save money is to be well informed about your purchases. I use this site http://smarthealthbuyer.com to get pricing information for dental, optical, chiropractic, and other health related issues. It gives prices based on your location. It recently saved me about 100 bucks at the dentist. Since i knew what the average price was i was able to negotiate a bit, and got a better price. I know you cant always negotiate with a practitioner, but hey, its worth a shot.

Money Magneto Money Saving Tips

Stop Gambling – It is foolish for any one to gamble because the house always wins. The odds are always stacked against the player by those who own the game. Luck never favours the player and even if the player win once there is always the temptation to play again and thereby lose everything.

Kill the habits – last April the government increased the taxes on cigarettes and alcohols. Not only is cigarette and alcohol expensive but it is deadly to your lungs and liver.

Saving account – Put your saved money in a high interest savings account. Banks such as kaupthing Edge offer saving rate of over 6.50%

On what evidence do you say that we should drink at least 8 glasses of water a day?

Why are you giving non-specific advice about tanning? People need vitamin D, which is stimulated by exposure to sunlight. Cases of rickets are increasing, apparently because people are taking the “no tanning” advice literally.

Johns, interesting post. Would you be interested in syndicating your content on the home page of my site? It’s an online community of finance professionals ( http://www.wallstreetoasis.com ). I could add an RSS feed that will allow me to promote your blog posts to my home page (when i think it will lead to a good discussion and/or is appropriate), but I wanted to make sure you were comfortable syndicating first. The syndicated post would have a link back to your original post. Thanks, Patrick (you can reach me at wallstreetoasis@wallstreetoasis.com if you have any questions).

Also, if you are willing to provide a link to wallstreetoasis.com that would be much appreciated.
