Simple Secrets to Saving Money in Australia

When you get on top of your spending habits by using the tips at Simple Savings anything is possible.

Could you use an extra $50 EVERY WEEK? It is easy to attain – much easier than you have ever imagined. The tricks are simple. The techniques are basic – things that thousands of Simple Savings members use every day.

Simple Savings can show you how to save money on groceries, gifts, holidays, cars and phone bills. You name a product/service you want to buy and the odds are that Simple Savings friendly community of clever, frugal shoppers will have listed a way to get it cheaper than you can

You are probably throwing away thousands of dollars each year and never ever realised it. Well, that is about to change. You could buy yourself anything. A car, a holiday, a house, your son’s shoes… everyone’s goals are different. As you start to reduce the amount you spend, you will suddenly find all this extra money.

Most people think that saving money is:

1. Complicated
2. Stressful
3. A waste of time
4. Generally not worth it

Those people are totally wrong. Try being smart with your money for six months and you’ll find that you’ll have more time for the things you love …. and the ability to buy extra things :-)

Think of it this way… for an average worker $500 saved = 5 days pay after tax

* If you take 5 minutes to save $15 at the supermarket that is one hour you don’t have to work. Stop… Think about it. If you reduce your grocery bill by $1,200 this year – which is surprisingly easy to do – you could skip two whole weeks of work. You can have two weeks extra holiday.
* If you lower your annual phone bill by $300 – easy to achieve – that’s half a week off work.
* If you save $1000 buying a car – basic beginners stuff – that’s another two weeks off work.
* Saving $100 on accommodation means you can stay on holidays for an extra day.

Working at an office 5 days a week to make money for someone else is hard

Saving money with Simple Savings is super easy

N-Gage First Access hacked for N95 8GB, others


That didn’t take long. A mere day after the release of Nokia’s N-Gage First Access gaming preview exclusively to N81 users, the app has been cracked open to work with any N-series device with enough horsepower. The hack was performed by Nokia regular P@sco, and comes in a convenient downloadable form, or an only slightly involved guide to hacking the app yourself. No rocket science here, and while we’re sure Nokia could easily fight back, what we’ve really got to ask ourselves is why didn’t Nokia just open it to everyone in the first place?
