Here's a piece by Kiplinger's that gives some tips on how to keep more of your money (how to keep from spending so much). They offer three steps to getting your spending under control:
Step 1: Review your spending plan.
Step 2: Track your impulse spending.
Step 3: Plug the leaks.
I hope you weren't coming here today for some complicated financial information. This is about as basic as it gets. ;-)
However, it's not a bad plan, really. If more people did this, more people would see a dramatic, positive increase in their net worths. After all, cutting your spending/savings money is the key to growing a sizeable net worth.
Kiplinger's then gives a short list of ways to save money. The list is pretty weak, though. Here's a money saving list that I like a lot better:
