    On a personal level.. Mint helps me keep an eye on my budget.

    On a business level.. Freshbooks, moving my clients to electronic invoicing and online payments have saved me a ton of time on invoicing as well as material costs of printer ink, paper and stamps.

    Web technology is saving me money, because there are a lot of open source applications that are free. Otherwise I would have to buy tons of stuff in which I probably won't be around.

    Ok I know I'm beating a dead horse with the Wordpress plugs, but check this out:

    http://sites.capitalchristian.com/npc/

    The site isn't live yet because we're figuring out what content to put in place, but the story goes down like this:

    Senior Pastor: Marcus, I want to build a resource site for all of the Pastors and Sponsors in our National Prayer Center network. I'd like password protected areas, but also a public place where I can blog and provide ongoing information and strategy. And I need it this week.

    Me: Ok – let me do some research on how to get that done (thought bubble: "We have no money and our current NPC site is in .asp, which I have no clue how to manage, let alone redesign cause I'm a video/design guy… not a web designer – but I know how to get things done in Wordpress… so I'll see what I can do with that…)

    Later that week I presented the site at the link above and my Senior Pastor was amazed. I used a template from a pro pack that we bought last year from ithemes.com and modified it to suit what we are trying to do.

    Now… if we only had content ;)

    BTW check out my spot today http://www.marcushackler.comfor a rad live production video that another church did (and that we're going to steal) and also my Senior Pastor's blog http://www.kenwilde.com.
