Money Hacks

Welcome to Money Hacks. This site is devoted to finding tips and tools to save time and money. It was inspired by Merlin Mann’s entry on ‘the 43 Folders of money management sites’. Mann wrote:

In the last week or so, I’ve gotten email from three different people asking me which site I’d consider to be the ‘43 Folders’ of money management. By this, I think they mean they’re looking for some kind of framework and tips for understanding the role money plays in their life, and then trying to find the best and most practical ways to implement and maintain healthy financial change. As against fancy “wealth management,” I’m thinking more along the lines of “what tricks will help me get smarter about the day-to-day dollar leakage?” Money Hacks, if you prefer.

I’ve believed for some time that the world needed a site devoted to money hacks. Mann’s post was the catalyst to finally create one.

This is not a personal finance weblog — I already have one of those called Get Rich Slowly — but a site devoted to finding tips and tricks to save you money in every area of your life. There will certainly be some content overlap with Get Rich Slowly, but while the former features longer entries about personal finance, I envision Money Hacks as a place to post a short entry every day about a new money hack. A lot of neat things that don’t have room for over there will be posted here.

You can help. If you know find a great money hack, send it to me at: tips [-at-] moneyhacks [-dot-] org. If you’d like credit (and a link), be sure to include the appropriate information.

Be sure to subscribe so that you don’t miss a single hack.
