Title: How to Save $100 This Week
Topic: Money Saving Tips by Stacy Johnson
Discussed by Stacy Johnson
with Money Talks News (www.MoneyTalksNews.com)
Want to save $100
this week? Stacy Johnson, with Money Talks News, says to
save your change and ride the bus as often as possible. Stop eating out so much
and skip the expensive movie, opting for Netflix or Redbox. Cancel your gym
membership and find free workout programs. Only use cash and try to save $20 a
day.
Call your cell phone and electric companies to see how you can save on your
monthly bills. Also do the same with your car, home, and life insurance
policies. You’d be surprised at how much you can save by raising your deductible
or canceling a portion of your unneeded coverage.
Stacy also suggests that you begin tracking your everyday expenses – down to the
$1.00 candy bar you bought at 2 pm yesterday for an afternoon pick-me-up.

Title: Getting More from Social Security
Topic: Social Security
Discussed by Stacy Johnson
with Money Talks News (www.MoneyTalksNews.com)
Part 1 of 3
The next three segments are important for every person to listen to, no
matter your age. In this crazy and uncertain economy, the majority of us are
planning ahead, saving for retirement (if there is such a thing anymore). We
have a 401K. We save so much out of every paycheck.
But did you know that you can make money from Social Security NOW? Stacy
Johnson, with Money Talks News, has sixteen (16) ways to benefit from Social
Security BEFORE you retire. First, he says, “It’s important to pay attention to
your Social Security benefits starting at an early age.” The next thing that is
essential is working the maximum number of years possible. Listen in as he
explains why!
Stacy also suggests that you examine your family history when you contemplate
what age to retire. Have many people in your family died at an early age? Or
have they lived long, healthy lifetimes? Why does this matter? Stacy gives a
personal story of why this should be considered as well.

Title: Part 2 of 3 - Getting More from Social Security
Topic: Social Security
Discussed by Stacy Johnson
with Money Talks News (www.MoneyTalksNews.com)
Stacy Johnson continues to
discuss sixteen (16) ways to maximum the amount of benefits you can receive from
Social Security. In the first segment, he gave some non-legal advice on how long
you should work, when to start applying for benefits, and why you should check
on your benefits frequently.
What if your spouse was a “home manager” and did not work or worked very little
outside the home? Should they just go ahead and collect at the earliest possible
age or wait to collect half of the working spouse’s benefits? If this is all
making your eyes glaze over, listen in as Stacy explains in a simple way
how
this type of situations is best played out.
Stacy believes that one of the best ways to maximize your Social Security
benefits is to use a legal service. This is their job: to get you the most money
for your retirement. One great company is Social Security Choices found [here].

Stacy Johnson, the
money-saving guru, says that even he gets confused about Social Security
benefits and the when, the how, and the what if’s. It’s not an
easy thing to master! But don’t let that stop you from researching how to
maximize your benefits. Social Security tax attorneys are there to help you and
most are fairly inexpensive.
In this final segment, Stacy talks about the importance of paying off debt
before filing for Social Security benefits and retiring. You also have to watch
out for those pesky taxes. Yes, taxes! Stacy gives the details about this little
known fact, too.
Singles and couples alike must be aware of how much you make, and make sure your
income is increasing as you get closer to retirement age. Check out the helpful

Part 1 of 2
During November and December many people increase their charitable giving. If
you don’t already have a charity you give to regularly, Stacy Johnson is here to
give some tips on how to choose one that fits your needs, won’t rip you off, and
doesn’t give too much of your hard-earned money to the big-wigs of the
non-profit.

Once you have given money to one
charity, you will probably begin receiving solicitations from others.
Although
it might be tempting to give a little to several different charities, it’s best
if you stick with just one. Your money will go a lot farther in one company than
divided among two or three.
Stacy Johnson also warns listeners not to donate any money over the telephone.
Why not? Listen in as he explains.

Does anyone really
read the fine print on insurance agreements when they purchase airline tickets?
If you become ill and need to cancel or reschedule your flight, the amount of
hoops you must jump through and the amount of blood you must donate (only just
joking) is outrageous. It’s enough to make your head spin!

Title: Twelve Ways To Save on Back To School Shopping.
Topic: Back To School Information
Discussed by Stacy Johnson
with Money Talks News (www.MoneyTalksNews.com)
Part 1 of 3
Back-to-School
Shopping hit a record $689 per family last year for items like clothing, school
supplies, and electronics. This year the National Retail
Federation predicts spending to be less per family – down to an estimated $635
per family.
Stacy discusses many ways to save, such as:
1. Start at home – take inventory of
supplies in the house
2. Make a list of what you need. Best
to make this list with your student. Stick to the list when shopping and resist
buying items not on the list
3. If you have made a list, set a
budget. Teach your student to stay within the budget. Think about rewarding your
student with any money left over as a reward for wise shopping.

6. Before shopping, comparison shop
7. Look for coupons

Stacy discusses more ways to save, such as:
8. Buy in bulk – if it makes sense
9. Wait until the last minute – stores who overstocked will have good sales
10. Shop on Tax Free Days – in Texas tax free days are Friday, August 9 through
Sunday, August 11
11. Swap with friends - especially if you home school.
12. When buying stick to the basics. Teach your young shopper to buy the generic
tennis shoes and jeans and tops if they are on a budget.
This is a good time to let them keep their savings and become “What a Teachable
Moment”.

There are several ways to
prevent a rate hike in your car insurance after you have received a traffic
citation. One is to go to court and contest the ticket. Another is to hire an
attorney, which can cost around $80, depending on where you live.

Another way to
contest a traffic citation is to go to traffic “school”. I know, I
know, I know…no one wants to give up a Saturday to sit in a classroom full of
“traffic criminals”, but just think of the benefit to your insurance rate in the
future.
