It sounds like you are talking about columbiahouse.com. If you are, here are the steps you take:\n\n1. go to the columbiahouse website\n2. click on the green dollar amount of your funcash (upper right corner)\n3. there will be a light green box with your funcash dollars in red - click on the link below that  -- it says "use your funcash now"\n4. go shopping and click on the green link below DVDs that you want. \n\nThey don't post the fun cash cost for each DVD and you will not get the sale price. You get charged the member price.\n\nNot all DVDs are eligible for purchase usin funcash. In that case, no green link will appear below the DVD.\n\nAfter you choose a DVD, you will go to the funcash cart where you choose you much of your funcash to use on a selection.\n\nYou can pay for the full amount of a single DVD using funcash, but they only let you apply about $10 towards boxed sets.

You're a step ahead of most people.  By now, you have a good grasp of what you're spending money on.  Take a good hard look at how you're spending your money.  Some expenses are "fixed" - meaning they don't vary each month.  Some expenses are essential (food, gas, housing, etc), while others are not (morning latte, manicure, movie tickets, etc).  Take a look at where you can cut back on those "wants" rather than "needs" and you'll find that saving money is not that difficult.\n\nNow set some goals for how much you'd like to save.  Start each month by paying yourself, so to speak, and put money in your savings account in order to build a nest-egg.  Some people find that having money automatically withdrawn from their paycheck is the easiest way to "force" them to save.  \n\nYou may want to check out this cool calculator that can help you manage your budget:  http://www.fuzeqna.com/smcu/consumer/kbdetail.asp?kbid=1929\n\nYou might want to use a software program such as Quicken to help manage your finances and goals.  But the system isn't as important as the action.  You're on your way!

Beckett has a website as well as a magazine. beckett.c*m    . I agree with the other post though. If you want a real sense of what people are spending vs. what it's really worth, go to ebay.

If you have loads of coins your best bet is to go to Asda or Sainsburys and they have coin machines which will change it into a voucher which you can then redeem for the cash at the counter.. problem solved..

Look at your past expenses.  Ideally you have records from the past few months.  You will probably have some money you spent that you can not account for.\n\nFigure out what expenses are required and what are discretionary.  If you are spending too much try to limit your discretionary spending.  You may also have to determine what of your required expenses are actually necessary.\n\nA budget is like a diet, you need to build some fun in or it will not work.  You have to give yourself some money to spend beyond the minimum.  While having a limit may seem like a pain at first, it can also make you be creative with how can I enjoy this $20 I can spend on fun to have the most fun.

S/He's right.  It's too vague at the moment - you need to actually get some figures to be able to do anything meaningful.\n\nThen to compare them, you could look at a scenario where by you buy one item and just pay the minimum each month to see how long it will take.\n\nYou can then plot a graph showing the outstanding amount for the two cards (PS don't forget the fees!) - this will then compare them.\n\nThen you could expand your investigation for different scenarios (eg pay off everything each month, pay off everything every other month, pay off twice the minimum recommended amount, transfer a balance and do nothing else until you have to pay it off...)

I would say, first, create a budget.  Outline what cash inflows you will have, and what expenses you expect to incur.  Doing this will help you save for what you know is coming, and be better prepared to adjust, should something unexpected come along.\n\nOtherwise, you might be interested in setting up an IRA. (individual retirement account)  There are many kinds, and you choose the one that's right for you.  IRA's are a good way to set aside money for retirement; they are also treated very favorably by the tax codes!\n\nOh, and Use something like a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet, it helps you stay organized and can be adjusted, saved, and can do a lot of the adding/subtracting stuff for you.\n\nSimple answer for a simple sounding question... anything specific?

Start with talking to your bank. They can find out the account where the money was transferred into.\n\nThey may also be able to give you some advice as to how to proceed from there.

Well, take your last paycheck and you should see what you paid in so far (year-to-date). That should give you a general idea.

for budget purposes, use quicken and enter all the info. toss the receipts into a box or bag after you enter them. you will save a lot of time using the computer and you can do some good planning if you are into it.

Use the envelope system.  Make a realistic budget for each category and when you get paid put that much money into each envelope.  When the money in the envelope is gone you don't buy anything else in that category.

Fill out the forms honestly with all your documentation.  Donate goods to charities and get good documentation of what/when you donated.  There is some software the Quicken has to help with donated item values.

Write down how much you spend and subtract it from how much you make, that'll tell you how much you have left over for savings and such. Apply more of that left over money towards whatever payments you have untill they are paid off. You'll save more in not paying interest than you would earn if you just had a savings account. Don't spend above your means, either.

don't buy silly stuff\n\nan easy way of doing that, is working out how much you want to spend on things from what you get per month.\nfor example if you hve 100$, spend 20$ on food, 20$ on coffee, 30$ on clothes and 30$ on going out. \nit all depends on your priorities and what you feel is important. \nkeep a note of it in your purse and keep track of what you're buying (keep receipts so you can check)\nif you want something but have already spent the money dedicated to that, eg if you want another coffee, but you've spent the 20$ dedicated to that, just get a glass of water: you know you can't afford it. \nand then you will learn to control your spending.\n\ngood luck
