Get Your Movies, Music, Books From The Library

Here is a no-brainer
Get most of your movies, music and books from the library. in most cases it should be free
Some libraries will charge $1 per movie, that's still a lot cheaper than Blockbuster
And if a CD, movie or book sucks? Who cares you didn't really waste anything besides time...(I know I know, time is money)

How To Reduce Your Taxes

This might seem a little strange but here we go anyway
If you are planning to have a baby try having the baby in December instead of January
If the baby is born on December 30th 2005 you can claim her as a dependent on your 2005 tax bill, you will also get the $1000 tax credit, if the baby is born on January 1st, you will have to claim her in 2006 even though the difference is 1 day
