Meganumber: 22. 19 New Year's resolutions it will pay to keep Have you given up making New Year's resolutions because it's just plain dumb to make promises you're not likely to keep? Before you throw out the baby with the bath water, why not shift your thinking to resolutions that you can keep -- and save some serious cash in the process? 1) Review all of your insurance coverage. Raise deductibles to the highest level feasible. Drop colli- sion coverage on cars with a market value of less than $2,500. Carry life insurance equal to five times the insured's annual salary. A house- wife should be insured based on no less than $50,000 per year. 2) Create a list with current data regarding all loans, insurance poli- cies, important documents, savings and investments. 3) Inventory your safe-deposit box. Do not keep the only copy of your will or family trust in a safe- deposit box. Often such a location is sealed upon a death. 4) Calculate (do not just esti- mate) your net worth. 5) Change batteries in smoke detectors, and make a video inven- tory of all personal possessions. Store this at another location. 6) Add up all the bank fees you've paid in the past year. Recon- sider your banking relationship. Join a credit union that offers a free checking account. 7) Open a special savings account, and make monthly deposits for your non-monthly bills (property taxes, insurance, auto maintenance and registration, etc.). 8) Ask your mortgage holder about canceling your private mortgage insurance. You may not even be aware that you are paying for this as part of your monthly payments. In most cases, PMI can- not be required once the borrower has accumulat- ed 20 percent equity. 9) Cancel extended warranties on household appliances. If this makes you too nervous or inse- cure, self-insure by depositing the same monthly amounts that you've been paying for these overpriced insur- ance policies into your own savings account. Mary Hunt 10) If you'll be getting a big tax return for 2010, file a new W-4 form with your employer to adjust the amount withheld for taxes. Why let the government use your money all year interest-free? 11) Keep a spending record. By putting down in black and white exactly where your money goes, you'll start changing your spending habits automatically. 12) Sign up for a payroll savings program. Often employers con- tribute proportionately. You hardly will miss money you don't see. 13) Teach your kids how to save 10 percent. 14) Cut your expenses. Reducing everything a little is far less painful than trying to eliminate a category altogether. 15) Don't invest in any- thing you don't understand. If you own a mystery investment, either educate yourself or switch. 16) Write down your car's mileage Jan. 1. 17) Work on your mar- riage. Divorce is very expensive. 18) If you are due an IRS refund, file as soon as possible. If you owe the IRS, hold off paying until the last minute.

This year nearly 49,000 refunds, ranging from $1 to $218,000 were returned to the state by the US Postal Service. Typically, refunds are returned because the tax- payer changed residences after filing a tax return.
