Ways to save money that you know.

Sign in to disble this ad
Hacks, cheats, tips and tricks. Share them all. How do you save money? A dime, a grand, doesn't matter.

ie: I poop at work and save on toilet paper.

ie: paying your mortgage biweekly gives you 2 extra payments a year and pays it off 5 years quicker.

Pay your mortgage every week and you pay it off even faster. Buy used, everything except underwear, maybe a few other things as well.

Tell people they can't hit you with a quarter, and wait for them to prove you wrong.

When you go shopping, don't bring much more money than you need to stop impulse purchases.

Realize that an enjoyable, successful life is about doing things...

... not just having things.

This alone may save you a ton.

I never understood this one... is every car exactly the same that the optimal gas mileage is achieved at exactly the speed limit? (which varies from state to state)

when i get back home i'm coming to tulsa to slap you in the face. this thread isn't about your possibly relationships (and fontaine's right btw). i knew right when i saw your name you were gonna say something about it. it's a thread about saving money. you could say, "i'm single" and leave it at that.

Avoid credit cards all together, unless you have the cash to pay them off what you bought all at once.
