Have you ever thought of spending less on dining out and entertainment? Plenty of free activities exist in your area such as events at libraries for children, free movies and other activities. Check with your community parks department or local library. Begin marking free activities on that calendar at home.

Do you really need the latest iPhone or flat screen TV? With the speed that technology is advancing these days, why not just hold off on new purchases until you absolutely need something.

Make sure you are using every item to it’s fullest potential! Don’t just throw things away. Make sure you reuse the item in some way.
