Default Re: How often do you act on saving tips?

If the tip is truly a money saving tip, I use it. Not all tips are money saving. Spending money to save money is just an excuse to spend money. You do not NEED to eat out unless you are on a journey. You do not need to do crafts unless you sell them, otherwise you are wasting your money. See not all tips are valid. Essentially, laziness costs a lot of money, if you have to rationalize you don't NEED it. Stick with the tried and true tips. And, remember bias when you read a tip. Use it over and over again, use what you have on hand, and don't buy anything that is not needed: Ben Franklin "pride is a s loud as a beggar and want. when you have bought one fine thing you must buy 10 more - tis easier to suppress the 1st desire than to satisy all that follow it".
