Michael Petruccelli asks: What are some ideas to help me save for a down payment?



Michael Petruccelli says: It’s that time of year we set goals and evaluate the past year as the New Year approaches. Most Americans make New Year’s resolutions. They can range from the typical (get fit, eat better) to the altruistic (volunteer more in the New Year). One of the most common resolutions is to lose weight, According to a 2013 Mayo Clinic study proved that people who were given a financial incentive to lose weight not only lost more weight but also kept it off, compared with those in the study who received no incentives.

What if I told you I know a way for you to save approximately $9,000 or more in the New Year? Would that kind of financial incentive inspire you to try these money-saving New Year’s resolutions? If so, here are several ways you can save around $9,000 or more in 2014.
