Name:

Kaaran from Colorado

Your Favorite Source for Bargains:

Ebay! I love to listen to CD's in my car, but refuse to pay store prices. I just got a favorite CD on ebay for 1.49, and it's brand new!

Your Best Money-Saving Tip:

Educate your children on how to be responsible with money, and raise them to understand the importance of saving their money. I did this with my son. He's 18 now, and he saves and understands the value of a dollar. He is careful about what he buys. Over the years, I have saved an enourmous amount of money because my son understands the difference between needs and wants.
