How did you celebrate X-mas this year? Are you glad all that shopping, gifting, cooking, and cleaning are over with? Aren't you glad it's only once a year? The holiday season can get stressful, especially with bills to pay after all the festivities and fun times are over. Our bank accounts will take a dip for months, so what can we do to save money to help us pay off those bills sooner?I recently read an article about the "the cheapest man in America" and was very inspired by his way of living cheaply. I, myself, am striving to accomplish my financial goals the best way I know how, and I would like to share the things that I did or will do to make 2014 a better financial year.
