1. Get your spending under control by using a free online budgeting Web site, such as Mint.com. This secure site tracks your checking, credit-card and investment accounts and offers money-saving tips, such as where you can cut costs or get a better rate on your credit card. Other free sites, including Wesabe and Geezeo, offer similar budgeting tools, but focus more on their online communities where users share strategies.
2. Set up a flexible spending account to help pay for medical expenses. If your employer offers this benefit, you can stash pretax dollars in the account and use the money to pay for out-of-pocket bills, including physician co-payments, prescription drugs, eyeglasses and braces for the kids' teeth. You can even spend the money on over-the-counter medications, such as antacids and pain relievers.
3. Cut the cost of credit
4. Open an online savings account and buy Las Vegas Show Tickets

Many families are unaware that their employer may offer a flexible spending account, when it can be an incredibly helpful and money-saving option.
So, great advice!
I noticed that you left our company, Thrive (www.justthrive.com), out of your round up of personal finance programs. I would like to suggest that you give us a try, to help you track your spending and plan for the future. We even offer free personal financial advice.
Please let me know your thoughts!
