"A baseball swing is a very finely tuned instrument. It is repetition, and more repetition, then a little more after that."

--Reggie Jackson

We've all heard the saying, "practice makes perfect." This is particularly true in the world of sports, as expressed in the above quote by baseball great Reggie Jackson. This pedestrian, yet profound notion, also applies to managing your money. You can't get really good at something unless you practice, practice, practice. When it comes to your finances, you always should be practicing ways to increase savings, reduce expenses and manage risk. Take it from Reggie, repetition followed by a little more after that often is the secret to success.
