The Amateur Financier

Once again this week, we’re looking into insane ways to save money.  This time, we’re going to show you one possible way to cut down on those energy bills: hamster power!  I like this cartoon in particular because one of the pet names I have for my fiancee is Hamster.  (It’s a term of endearment, I say!)  I think it came out looking pretty cute.

If you want some legitimate ways to cut down how much you spend on your electrical bills, you could switch over to compact flourescent lightbulbs, make sure your house is well insulated, and installing low-flow shower head.  You can find these tips and more on MSN, Not Made of Money, and Associated Content, among many, many others.  For now, enjoy the cartoon:
