In July of 2006, I asked my fellow personal finance bloggers to share their very best money saving tips.

My goal was to create a list of tips for getting out of debt, saving money, and living frugally.

Since that time, the number of personal finance blogs has grown. I wanted to give bloggers - new and old alike - the chance to add their tips to the list.

Some of the blogs that used to exist, no longer do, and I’ve removed the links associated with those blogs.

I’ve removed the dead-links and and organized the working-links.

If you are a blogger and you have a tip that you would like to share - and it’s not already listed below - click here to send me the url for you tip. I’ll add your tip to the list. You do not have to be a personal finance blogger in order to participate. Feel free to take one of the tips listed below and expand upon it, or come up with your own, unique tip.

If you are a reader, and you have a tip that you would like to share, leave a comment and I’ll add your tip to the list.

(If you are a blogger and you have linked to my old list of tips, please change your link so that it directs your readers to this post. Also, if you contributed a link in the past, and you don’t see it here, please resubmit the link. I tried to keep everything together, but I may have missed your tip.)
