Don't forget to keep tabs on your credit too!

Since you are using all of this wonderful information to save money on your purchases, lower your energy costs, and pocket more of your money, you should also keep tabs on your credit. Not only does it give you a good picture of your financial well-being, it's a necessity these days to help prevent identity theft! If you haven't done so in the last year, stop what you're doing right now and request your credit report from all three agencies. You can look through them and ensure all of the information is accurate. If you find errors or discrepencies, contact the responsible reporting agency immediately. Instructions for correcting errors in your credit report are included with the documents you receive. You have the option of printing the report directly online, or having one sent to you. (additoinal fees may apply) Depending upon where you live, the online reports are absolutely FREE. Do it now! Don't put it off -- go to: www.annualcreditreport.com
