Get Your Budget on Track With the Savvy Spending Tracker!
Do you know how much you spend per month on food and beverages (I'm looking at you, 7-11 trips and work lunches) and personal care (can we say money-sucking drug store trips)? The new year is all about taking control, and most of you intend on saving more money or paying down debt in 2009. In order to find extra money in your budget to achieve your goals, you need to figure out where your spending can be trimmed.
Savvy Resolution: Get Savvy in 2009 With Our Resolution Doc!
The majority of SavvySugar readers didn't make resolutions in 2008, but those who did reported they made progress. In the spirit of getting organized, we've crafted a handy Resolution Worksheet for you to keep track of all your financial goals for the new year and help you keep them.
Some of the goals like retirement savings are totally universal, while some of you may have specific career goals that you can jot down in the free space.
Kidoodles: Make a Sockmonster!
Sock monsters are one of my favorite on-the-fly entertainment tricks and a cost-free way to creatively reinvent solo socks. If the simple Sharpie-drawn monster is beneath your crafty standards, try Monster Munch's free downloadable pattern and instructions. It's a quick eight-step process that involves two socks, two buttons, a bit of felt, and some stuffing.
Kidoodles: Free Paper Play House Downloads
There's something magical about sitting down with your children during weekend arts and crafts time. It's the perfect opportunity for stories, creativity and inevitably, a whole lot of mess.
These adorable paper houses and store fronts will help you deliver the same soothing creative time without any of the paint or pencil marks.
Download of the Day: Books
I know my geeks are a literate lot, so I've dug up a new, free application for Macs to keep your analog books organized electronically. Where GoodReads is a great way to keep track of all books you've read, the download Books is your electronic library for all the books you own.
All you have to do is enter titles of the books you own, and Books will quickfill all the details of that book, including the cover art (once you've selected a quickfill metric in preferences).

Student Sentenced to Death For Downloading an Article
As much as we debate the legality/illegality of downloading certain things on the Internet, I don't think any of us has ever feared for our lives because of our Internet download activity.
Unfortunately, not everyone is as lucky as we are; a 23-year-old student in Afghanistan is currently sitting on death row because he downloaded an article on women's roles in Islam on the Internet. Seen as blasphemy, the young man now faces death.
Have Internet ADD? Use YouPlayer to Watch Videos in Sidebar
I have this thing where I can't always watch videos on the Internet when they come my way — and not because I'm not allowed to at work, but because I don't feel like I can take the time to focus on just one video. Turns out "my thing" isn't so weird, because some kind soul made YouPlayer, a Firefox extension that lets you watch videos in your sidebar!
Once installed, all you have to do is drag and drop the URL or your search results for the video into the player.
