Live chat: Simple strategies for saving money during a recession

Sometimes it can feel like the current economic situation has put a lot of things out of our control when it comes to money. But in fact, now is the time to rethink a whole list of things that each of us CAN control.

We have a special LifeTuner event coming up on Weds., February 4 at 9 p.m. EST / 6 p.m. PST!!

Join us and you'll learn money-saving techniques from Jeff Yeager, a regular Today Show contributor, book author and expert at LifeTuner. Jeff will be hosting the chat and taking questions from participants.

Instructions to Join In:

1. You must register here to attend the chat.

2. After you register, you will receive an email invitation with the subject line: "Campfire chat invitation from Julie Diaz-Asper." You'll then need to follow the instructions to login.

From simplifying your life to learning how to negotiate to putting off purchases, there's a ton of specific things that you can do to live cheaper and be more in control. I've already learned quite a few specific techniques from reading Jeff's tips on LifeTuner.

In addition to hosting this special event, Jeff is also giving away a free copy of his book, "The Ultimate Cheapskate's Road Map to True Riches" to 12 people who sign up!!

This is practical, actionable advice that any of us can use in times like this when we've either been hit with job loss, or face potentially supporting our parents who've lost huge chunks of their retirement savings.

Join us for this special opportunity!
