Money Mastermind Show

As college and university students across North America begin to migrate back on to campuses over the next couple of weeks, class is already in session at the MMS with Justin Bouchard from My University Money. Just because you might think you're flush with student loan money and summer job cash in September doesn't mean you can't quickly dig yourself into a hole of debt by Christmas. Our panel of graduates from the school of hard knocks will give some money-savings tips they had to learn the hard way.

Luke Landes (LukeLandes.com) joins us this week to explain what that first step should look like and how you can climb your own personal mountain.

Can Coupons Really Help Me Save? - Carrie Rocha from PocketYourDollars.com joins the panel tonight to answer the question many of us wonder as we watch hoarder-like shows about extreme couponing: Is that whole coupon thing really worth my time?

Show notes: http://moneymastermindshow.com/episode12/

Some important questions discussed in this episode:

How much can I actually save by using coupons?

What sort of time and effort do I have to put in to be good at this stuff?

Is there anyone else out there whose hard/dirty work of finding coupons I can piggyback off of?

Am I better using grocery store coupons or going the wholesale route with places like Costco and Sam's Club?

Should I focus on sales or coupons? Is it possible to layer both without going crazy keeping track of everything?
