Hi. I'm Diane and I live in upstate New York

A friend recently made me aware of this forum so I thought I'd check it out. I am retired and currently spend my time making money on line.

No.....not those ridiculous $10,000s you see those ads for....I just manage to trickle in a little each month and it helps.

It's not easy and I'm looking for ways to make that money go further. I'm hoping to learn a lot here and maybe I'll be able to help too

Thanks!

Just Saying Hello (how to save a ton of money)

People call me RC.

I'm not the "typical" person looking to save money. I fully understand the futility of money, and don't have much use for the stuff. (this from an ex-corporate guy who used to chase the stuff with a passion)

Time is not money, time is life. We waste our lives chasing money, which we then use to buy material things.

These things themselves consume our time. They must be painted, polished, cleaned, fixed, or put away. Ultimately, these things are gone... broken or lost or stolen or simply forgotten.

So I have come to see money and the material things it brings as a slow form of suicide. We trade life (time) for things that disappoint us, sooner or later.

I haven't bought anything on credit since 1988. I have no debt of any kind, and few monthly bills. I will tell you how to save a lot of money...

One day a month, eat only bread and drink only water. That night, sleep on the floor. The next morning, you will awaken and know the difference between needs and desires.

Buy the things you need right away, but only buy the things you desire after a month has passed, and only then if you can pay cash for them. If you have to buy it on credit, you can't afford it.*

Be well,

RC Boyd

Natural-Indulgence: It's good to have you hear. I am looking forward to hearing how you do your finances.

Also, by doing that one day bread and water diet also makes you a little healthier since you are letting your vital organs take a rest. It helps to naturally detoxify your body as well. We could all use that.

Hello, I'm Alex from Livonia, MI (bout 10 mins west of detroit, MI). I'm 21, single working on Railroad full time. I go to school part time. I'm not really that frugal, but only thing I excessivly spend my money on is Beer and/or Alcohol. I owe money on a piece of **** car i bought a while back that im trying to sell to cut my losses, aside from that i have no Home, car, or anything payments.

I'm kinda here cuz i wanna learn how to make the most of my stagnant money by means of passive building though methods im yet to learn about.

I like to play guitar, drink w/ my buddies, go out on boats, spark up bonfires, and play video games and ****. Just moved back into my mommy's house so i'm pretty much bill free.

Life's been good so far

Hi, I'm new to posting here after lurking for awhile. I'm a longtime homemaker and student looking to get back into the work force soon. I consider debt free living a worthy goal although I may never get there entirely, and bargin shopping is not only a hobby but one of my defining characteristics. I get angry when I realize a deal too late or after already making my purchase...but I guess we can't win them all ehh?
