Save Cash by Saving Coins. I actually try to generate change by using bills even if I have correct change. At the end of the day, everyone’s change — including the kids, assuming they’re going on this vacation — gets dumped into the jar. Cash it in every couple of weeks at the bank, not those grocery store change counter things, which take up to 20% of your money. Put the proceeds in a special, unreachable, account.

Take a few minutes to set up a new savings account. Consider Ingdirect.com, which offers excellent interest rates on savings accounts. This is an online bank but is perfectly safe and can actually make you some extra money through higher interest payouts. Arrange to have $50 - $150 a month automatically deposited from other accounts or your family’s paychecks. This money accumulates faster than you think!

Showing a drop of over thirteen per cent in visitors last year, the ski holidays industry will be hoping that 2009/10 will see a pick up as skiers start booking again.Fortune is on their side at least - early snow saw some of the Colorado resorts open in early October - the earliest for 40 years - and In Europe the Pyrenees had high snowfall in early November - benefiting both French ski holidays and Andorra.

But while the weather may be on the industry’s side, the long, deep recession in both Europe and Northern America casts doubts over their 2010 aspirations.

For many people ski holidays are a luxury item, while the family summer vacation is seen as much more of an essential item for expenditure, and while economies are coming out of recession many people have concerns about their own job security or the state of their business, and might hold back this year until they are confident of the future.

Visiting Bangkok soon? There’s plenty more to this city than traffic congestion and massage parlours. In fact this happening Asian city is one of the region’s most visited and offers up a host of great value and culturally rich experiences. Here are 10 of my favourite recommendations for spending a few days in the Thailand capital.

1. Jim Thompson’s House
This stunning teak house, now a museum, was built by silk industry legend Jim Thompson. A colourful American character, he made his home in Thailand after developing a love for the country and its people when he was stationed here during WWII. Before his mysterious disappearance in the late 1960s, he had completed this magical home and successfully revived Thailand’s silk industry. Visitors can tour the house that was once the talk of the town, see some of his personal belongings and read allegations about what happened on his fateful vacation to the Cameron Highlands in Malaysia.
