Most people expect they can work or invest their way to wealth. Most (New Englanders excepted) don't realize they can also save their way there. So with the goal of helping people become better, smarter, stewards of their financial lives, I am introducing a new Money Saver subset under the Personal Finance topic.

From FreeMoneyFinance comes the recommendation to install a "whole house" fan, one of those large devices that suck air through the entire home and out through the attic. The cooling cost of running the fan is 10% of AC. And from personal experience living in an area where 100 degree days are not uncommon, they are a great adjunct, if not a replacement, to air conditioning.
