I wish they would shut up whit all the your $5,000 check is right around the Conner. The corporate overlords only dip their greedy hands deeper in your pockets every time. It's their job to grab it before the public gets to use it.
The first rule of "saving" currency is by not spending it in the first place.
So you cut your $150 monthly cable bill, You can't bank the savings until you don't pay the next monthly or sometimes in the governments case, Yearly bill.
