Ways to save money
Savings planner and monthly email
We developed this savings planner over time specifically for homeowners. It’s designed to be easy to use and remarkably effective. On the surface, it’s a simple spreadsheet. There’s no app to sign up for, no web site to log into. But it gives you remarkable clarity for where you can shave off costs and what you can prioritize for improvements.
And, once a month we send people who have downloaded the planner one tip on how to decrease your home expenses and one tip on how to increase your home’s value. That way, over time, we all make perpetual progress.

We made a video on homeowners insurance with some helpful tips and also a script you can use word-for word to negotiate your homeowners insurance down.
In this video, I interview a expert in homeowners insurance and talk about how to tell what company to use, how much liability insurance you should have, and how to get the right coverage for your particular needs.
