Save Cash Fast

"Automatic Millionaire" David Bach provides five ways to save up to $2,500 in 20 minutes. Two recommendations before the five steps: don't fret about the past and find ways to reduce fixed expenses. His specific recommendations: [1] cut back on premium TV (satellite or dish), [2] reduce your cell phone package to reflect actual call time needed, [3] use wireless instead of modem-based internet connections, [4] find less expensive exercise club memberships (or just walk or jog at home and avoid the gym charge), [5] shop car insurance; your first quote may not be your best.

Not all recommendations will work for all readers, but Mr. Bach does have some ideas worth considering.
