Re: What are your best money saving ideas?
1. We do for ourselves what we can - no gardener, no cleaning lady, etc.
2. We don't watch TV very much at all, and thereby don't suffer the discontent that often follows viewing ad after ad after ad designed to make you want more and feel unhappy with what you currently have.
3. We pay off our credit card in full. If we didn't think we could, we wouldn't spend the money.
4. We make saving a priority. Money comes out of DH's checks automatically to fund the 401k.
5. Little things -- we shop thrift/consignment/eBay for clothes. We line dry some of our laundry. We have our heater set to automatically go down at night. We don't go shopping for 'something to do'.
If I think of more I'll come back.
