It is $84 after a year and that would cover one of my children's life insurance policy's. I am a coupon clipper though. Frankly, I believe this is where most American's slide off track. We are so spoiled, that we blast everything that requires effort out of the water. This is not how our grandparents did it. They grabbed every sale, used every discount and saved their nickels.

It is all about the mindset. Plus, if you put that $7 a month into a savings account at even 2% interest, thats another $20 bucks plus, so before you know it you've got $450! Not the king's ransom, but DEFINITELY worth an hour of my time. Or you can pre-pay the car loan with an extra $7 each month. You won't lower your remaining payments but you will finish paying the loan off almost 2 months early! Amen. It is all about the mindset.
