Everyday you come onto Living Rich With Coupons and find tons of coupons and deals.  The savings can be incredible.  But, with the start of the New Year, I want you to be able to focus your thoughts on how to better manage your money and truly Live Rich with Coupons.  Because it would just be a shame if you took all your hard work on cutting your grocery bill and just spent it elsewhere.

So, now with the New Year upon us, take some time to plan your budget and get yourself and your finances organized.

My husband and I spent a good portion of our weekend planning our budget for the year.  We realized we spent too much in one area that we really have to be careful about and made some minor adjustments to the 2011 budget.  It’s such a good feeling to know where every penny goes.

We are a long way from being Debt free but we are getting a little bit closer each year.

I thought you might like some inspiration so I pulled out some old articles I had written that seemed appropriate to get yourself on track for the New Year.
