19. Book your own 'package' holiday online
The popularity of High Street travel agents is waning as more and more
people warm to the benefits of researching and putting together their
own holidays on the internet. If your holiday consists of flights,
accommodation, transfers and possibly car hire, then take this test.
Order a brochure from a leading holiday company and work out the price
of your holiday including all the complicated supplements. Now go online
and, starting with the flights, try to put the same package together.

20. Learn to say 'no'
It's easy to capitulate to the demands of a screaming child in a packed
Woolworths on a Saturday afternoon. But don't do it. Similarly, how
often does a 'swift half' after work turn into a £40 drinking session?
Saying 'no' a few times a year will do wonders for your bank account.

23. Don't pay full price for theatre or theme park tickets
If you are prepared to tolerate the unwieldy website and hit-and-miss
customer service, lastminute.com regularly boasts some amazing deals for
London's theatres and the nation's theme parks. At the time of writing
you can see top West End show The Producers plus a two-course meal for
less than £20 a head, a saving of £60 per person, and tickets for
Chessington World of Adventures cost from £12, a saving of nearly £50
for a day out for a family of four.

24. Beat the ticket touts
Ticket touts earn their living by getting hold of tickets that are
'otherwise unavailable'. Well, here's the news: they are available to
everyone when they first go on sale. You just need to know when they go
on sale. Simply sign up to for the free ticket alert newsletters from
the main agents to ensure that you're first in the queue.

25. Stop trying to keep up with the Joneses
Trying to keep up appearances is little more than a costly illness.
Remember, you cannot judge someone by what they have because you don't
know how they got it. Chances are they're in more debt than you are.
