Summer is upon us and with the higher temperatures are coming higher prices for just about everything under the sun. Gas costs just went up, the summer vacation is costing an arm and a leg (maybe two!), and you may need to take out that second mortgage just to send your kids to summer camp.
Money Life Network realizes that times are tough this year and people are cutting back to make ends meet. With that in mind we decided to do a group writing project this month at our member blogs looking at ways that you can save money this summer. We’re calling it the “Summer Savings Series“!
Over the next 3 weeks each member of the Money Life Network will write 1 post per week about how to save this summer on their blog. Keep checking the group site because we’ll have a new article every day Monday-Friday for the duration of the series. We start the series on Monday June 9th, and we’ll wrap up with a roundup post on June 30th. So subscribe to our feed, bookmark this page and stay tuned for tons of great ways to save this summer!
You can participate and win a $100 Amazon Gift Card!
If you want to get in on our “Summer Savings Series” as well, write your own post about how you plan to save money this summer. You can even use our snazzy graphic that appears on this page and link people back to this “Summer Savings Series” page.
Once you’ve posted your article just shoot us an email through our contact page, or leave a comment on one of our blogs, and we’ll post a link to your article at the top of this page.
