3) My Favorite Money Tips - Commute Cost Ideas

Are you paying more than you need for your commute? Often there are many ways of getting somewhere. Here are several ideas on how to reduce costs.

  • Public transportion: Compare bus, train, and other forms of public transpport that are available in your area. The IRS figures 36 center per mile for driving, so you should, as well.

  • Van Pool: Vanpools are organized carpools where a company always drives. These can be very cost effective.

  • Work from Home: Some companies will let people work from home one or more days a week.

  • Alternate Work Week: Some companies let you work 4 longer days rather than 5 days.

  • Car Pools: Sharing rides often saves on tolls and driving costs. If you can share with someone from the same workplace this can be a real money saver.

  • Bicycling/Walking: This is usually the cheapest way. Often one needs to combine this with public transportation if one lives far away from work.

  • Finding Less Expensive Parking: Often if you are willing to walk 2 or 3 extra blocks in the city, parking prices are reduced. Do some comparison shopping.

  • Partial Public Transport: I found that when I commute saturdays, by driving to a different train station I save commute charges and 40 minutes a day. Investigate other altenatives

4) Scam Prevention - Tips for Businesses

Here are some common scams that affect businesses:

  1. False Invoice - Are you getting invoices for products you haven't paid for? A common scam involves sending compaines an invoice that is false in hopes it will be paid.

  2. Padded Invoices - Often invoices can be padded with extra fees. Make sure everything is a valid charge on your bill.

  3. Misrepresentation - Telemarketers will often try to make you think you are buying from a different firm, buying a different product, or getting extras which seem worth more than they are. Buyer beware.

  4. Sending Unwanted Merchandise - Toner and ink cartridge companies are well known for sending unwanted merchandise along with large bills. One needs to NOT accept the package in the first place as returning it can be costly.

  5. Getting Information from Naive Employees - The easiest way to break security of a company is to charm an employee of that company to give you the information you need. Hence, train your employees to only give information you are willing to have shared.
