I have been a grocery coupon clipper from the time my little hands were able to hold up a pair of scissors and cut with them. Every week, my mother would religiously go through the coupon book inserts in the Sunday paper and mark the coupons she wanted me to cut for her. I would then meticulously cut the marked coupons, one by one, while we talked about our week. As I got into my teenage years, of course I had better things to do with my time so I stopped coupon clipping with her.

I like setting New Years resolutions as a way to focus on achieving things that are important to me. Last year I set a new years goal to lose five pounds by the end of the year. I failed but will try again this year. I seem to do better when it comes to setting financial goals. Last year I dropped my $50 per month health club membership in favor of walking and a new exercise routine that my doctor gave me that costs nothing. That is $600 a year I did not need to spend. Let me know if you want the details and I will post the routine.
