Part I: Identify all the lazy dollars in your financial life. Identify source, amount and what action might be indicated.
Part II. Develop a personal and household savings plan. What savings strategies will you use to improve your financial situation? Explain why you chose each strategy instead of others that you did not choose. How much will you save each month?
