Thanks for sharing. I agree that it's a fine line with telecommuting - it saves you a lot of gas money (I do it from time to time), but it's also nice to have the interpersonal communication that comes with going into an office. I agree that free checking accounts are important - another aspect of checking accounts that can be useful is high yield checking accounts. You can use tools like CheckingFinder to compare rates and requirements for select community banks nationwide. If you find an account that suits you, you can sign up for free. Hope this helps as well! Great list! Thanks for sharing.

By also as usual, they are common sense for anyone that has ever read a money mag at all. The one I take issue with is the telecommuting. I work from home and commute. While working from home has it's advantages, you give up the personal contact that comes with working in an office. Not only does this impact your social skills, but you're often looked over for promotions because people think you're just interested in working, not a career. I watch this all the time at my bank. For now though I'm content to work from home on Fridays, but only because everyone else does. As usual, kiplingers does a great job of compiling good tips to save money.
