No more stamps to buy (the price is going up in 2009), no more worrying if the post office misplaced the bill or didn't send my cheque in time. I also know when the monies will be removed from my account which helps budgeting. The best move I made was having all my bills deducted from my account.

I was thinking...I wonder if you could do a "Challenge Monday" type of thing. Where you can challenge your readers at something - such as no latte week, bring your lunch to work week, save $100 on groceries week, etc. I don't know. Like I said, I was just thinking.

You've really pushed me to discipline myself. My husband and I had $12K in credit card debt at the beginning of the year. Now we have no debt outside of our mortgage and we have a $22K emergency fund. You really provide a lot of great ideas and a great perspective on savings, wealth, and happiness.
