I've always had a hard time saving, and always told myself that I would start when I got my next paycheck. The plan that i had was to put away a certain percentage before I even touched the money, but I always found myself unwilling to see such a large sum of money go away.

Yesterday, I was reading some of what Ramit Sethi has to say over at IWillTeachYouToBeRich.com. While I was there I stumbled upon this article. The premise of the article is to start saving you should begin by taxing yourself on all the purchases you make. For instance if I spent $100 on groceries and and I was taxing myself %10 then I should put $10 into my savings account. This way I am saving as I spend, and it will effect my spending habits because everything will cost more than the sticker price. This should lead to lower overall spending, and increased savings.

I am actually excited about saving this way, and have already made a deposit into my savings account. The real trick will be the follow through.  Hopefully, I will be able to!

 What are some of the ways that you all save?

One of our Studio 55+ members sent us this collection of cake recipes. Now I don't have to look too far for a great cake recipe. I have been known to bake a cake on occasion. I made this one.

That is a honey chocolate cake with almond winged bees. So I know a thing or two about baking and this list makes me want to get out my new mixer.

Anyway, There are over 200 cake recipes on this remarkable site.

So let's get to baking so we can have an excuse to invite some friends over. Enjoy!
