Re: Favorite money saving saying, adage, poem, or story!
How about "Buying what you "Want" often results in "Needing" what you can't buy"
When I first started on my road to frugality I saw this saying on the internet somewhere , can't remember where now , but I wrote this down on a piece of paper and kept it in my purse for the longest time. Whenever I went out and about if there was something that I wanted it would always be in my subconcious and I would think....do I really need this? Is there something at home which I might be able to use instead and save the extra $ or if I buy this and the kids might get sick and "Need" medicine etc.....
Amazing what a few choice words can do

A penny saved is a penny earned.
I think that comes from Richest Man in Babylon

All good money saving sayings. I have one...
<b>"When opportunity knocks, don't be caught outside looking for a 4 leaf clover"</b>
I can't remember the exact quote, but it is close to this.

Re: Favorite money saving saying, adage, poem, or story!
"Interest never sleeps nor sickens nor dies it never goes to the hospital; it works on Sundays and holidays; it never takes a vacation. ... Once in debt, interest is your companion every minute of the day and night; you cannot shun it or slip away from it; you cannot dismiss it; it yields neither to entreaties, demands, or orders; and whenever you get in its way or cross its course or fail to meet its demands, it crushes you."
- J. Reuben Clark Jr.

Spend it like you don't have it, then you will have it to spend it.
In otherwords, save it till you need it.
