Boost your energy efficiency

• Lower your utility bills with a little help from the federal government. There's a 30% tax credit (max value $1,500) for energy-saving improvements like new doors, windows, insulation, air conditioners and heaters.
• You can take another 30% credit - with no cap - for installing alternative energy equipment like wind turbines or solar water heaters. See the government's Energy Star site for details.

Take a hard look at your bank

• Your bank is at the center of your financial universe, so make sure it's giving you what you need.
