Happy weekend everyone! More posting will resume after my actuary Exam in May! Getting back to one of my many passions in life!

Lesson # 16 - Free Samples!

I received a couple of free samples in the mail today that I requested. Some may think that it is cheap or cheesy to request a free sample. However I get enjoyment out of them! Nothing is better then getting a free product in the mail.

Some great websites:

• Sample A Day
• Wal-Mart Free Samples

One tip I would recommend is setting up a junk email account and use this for your free samples. Therefore if you get any spam it will be in a separate email account. Although most major companies have good privacy policies now.

Lesson # 15 - Keep Your Resume Up To Date

When was the last time you updated our resume? Although you might not be looking for a job, it never hurts to have an updated resume. Hopefully you will not have to use it, but if you are laid off you will already one step ahead of many.

Also use this time to contemplate your strengths and weaknesses, to see how you can contribute more to your job.

Lesson # 14 - Do You Know How Much Money You Have Or Don't Have?

Do you know how much you are worth? Do you know what your checking account has? When was the last time you checked your balance?

Hopefully you can answer these questions, if not it is time for you to gain control of your finances. If you could not answer the questions above, find out today! Remember Online Banking is your friend!

Lesson # 13 - Don't Use Your Credit Card For At Least A Week!

If you have been reading my blog you may know that I am only trying to use cash this year for most transactions, see The One Dollar Diet for more information. I will be posting an update hopefully this weekend.

While mine might be extreme, Suze Orman suggest that you don't use your plastic for a week! Can you do it? How did you feel?
