The Great Recession has brought on a myriad of opportunities to save. Houses can be snapped up at fire sale prices, supermarkets are in price wars with their competitors, and government incentives on everything from fuel efficient cars to washing machines have brought down the cost of many purchases. The cost of nearly everything has gone down. But there is one major expenditure that keeps bucking the trend and continues to rise faster than the rate of inflation: health care expenses. Increasingly, medical expenses are eating up a larger portion of family discretionary income with little relief in sight. Here are 5 ideas on how you can cut your health care expenses this year and save hundreds if not thousands in the process.

It's Saturday morning and it's hard to resist sleeping in and letting the kids waste a few more hours watching cartoons. It's the easy choice, it's free and you'll feel better in the afternoon. Besides, that's what they want to do.
A little mind is a terrible thing to leave in front of the Boob Tube for five hours every Saturday morning. It's up to the parent to take the initiative to break the cycle of intellectual malnourishment that comes from an ovedose of watching TVs. Parents should make the time to plan wholesome and educational activities that the entire family can enjoy on the weekends. Most of us know that already and the problem is that it's hard to plan family outings on a budget. For all those thrifty parents out there, here are three activities you can do with your kids that won’t put a dent in your wallet. In fact it’s an opportunity for you to bond with that child, for the child to develop dexterity, and motivate them to fix and build things. Bonding aside, it's always good to have a ten year old fix-it child around the house.

"Several years ago, I found myself in need of a van, but my credit was in bad shape. The salesman was able to put me in one. I thought that it would give me a chance to reestablish my credit. Being overcharged for the van, I owe $16,000, but the van is only worth $8,000. I don't know what to do. I want to get rid of it. I'm upset that I let myself get taken like that. I want to go public about the dealerships hurting people with credit problems, but I'm ashamed that I was used. What can I do?" - Patty
