Ways to Save Thousands in 2012 

Happy new year to all the Saving Thousands! listeners and fans. There’s no better time than today to make a commitment to Saving Thousands! in 2012.

Here’s one way that you may not have thought about: shedding those extra pounds can save you a lot of money.

SmartMoney provides several tips for translating lost pounds into saved dollars, such as:

• Cheaper insurance premiums, especially on life insurance
• Joining a gym may get you a rebate from your employer or insurance company; perhaps as much as $500
• A healthier you can work longer and earn longer; we’re living longer and working longer than ever before
• Medical costs; a healthier you probably means fewer trips to the doctor, fewer co-pays and a lower chance of a serious (and costly) medical problem

If your goal is to lose weight and improve your health in 2012, make sure you take every available way to make the most of it and cash in on the extra savings.

I’d also like to invite you to join us in helping out a great cause. RP Funding is a sponsor of the Special Olympics “Polar Plunge” event. Our goal is to raise $5000 in pledges. If we meet our goal I will take the plunge on January 21^st and slide into an ice-filled pool at Aquatica. You can donate by visiting https://www.firstgiving.com/fundraiser/rpfunding/2012/event.>
