Even if you love your job, you can still get bored by the daily routine of office life

1. Start a Get-Fit Group

Why not try to boost spirits while you trim your waistline with a workplace weight-loss support group?

Programs such as Weight Watchers and Body for Life are low-cost and work well with groups.

2. Sponsor a Charity or a Charitable Cause

what is it that you're all passionate about (beyond work issues)? Education? Hunger? The environment? Animal protection? The arts?

Investigate opportunities to apply your passions in a charitable capacity in your community.

3. Start an Investment Club

Instead of spending money on expensive lunches, use your lunch hour to make more money through investing.

4. Start a Book Club

Recruit your coworkers to form an in-office book club.

If everyone at your company is motivated to climb the ladder, consider starting a business book club in which you read and discuss books related to the work you do, and how you can apply what you've learned at your company.

1. Find the best gasoline prices in your area.

2. Slash your phone bill.

3. Get bargain airline fares. The airlines’ best bargain fares often are available only on their own Web sites.

4. Save on mortgage costs.

7. Have a yard sale on-line. You’ll probably reap better prices through an on-line auction at eBay than through a yard sale.

Why: Instead of getting bids only from the few people who pass your yard in a few hours, you’ll be able to hold items up for sale for days before a market of millions of people nationwide.

8. Get books cheap -- or free.

9. Read newspapers free.

10. Download music. Music can be cheaper

11. Get digital radio free.

12. Get free maps and trip planning.

13. Find local help, goods and services. Craigslist

14. Continue your education.

6. Stay in touch with family and friends

5. Earn more interest on savings. Internet banks pay higher rates on savings because they don’t have to cover the cost of paying for prime “bricks and mortar” banking

New Scams

creative new ways to scam unsuspecting people out of their money

GIFT CARD FRAUD

Lesson: In any store, don't buy the gift cards displayed on store racks. Ask at the customer service desk whether there are any cards kept behind the counter

LATEST LOTTERY CON

Lesson: Be suspicious whenever you're asked for money, even if you have already been paid a larger amount in the form of a check. It can take many weeks for a bank to determine whether a foreign or cashier's check is valid.

ON-LINE DATING

Lesson: A con artist might spend months building rapport on-line before asking for a dime. Even if you think you know this person well, consider that you really don't know anyone from your communications over the Internet -- you just know the way he/she chooses to present himself in E-mail.

HIT MAN CON

Lesson: Con men know that making victims fear for their lives is a great way to encourage them to hand over their money. Good con artists learn a few details about their intended victims
