It Starts with Saving Money
- Don’t rely on credit cards.
- Shop around (especially online).
- Of course, Amazon tops the list for comparison shopping of rather generic items. Once you've located your item, you will find multiple sellers offering it at different prices.
- Many, more 'specialty' items can be found by way of other comparison shopping sites like Ebay and even Etsy.com.
- Wait for coupons or special deals.
- Many retailers, online and location based, run frequent promotions and sales. Not all items are on sale at the same time--they simply rotate through cycles of what is on and off special pricing throughout the year.

- Participate in rewards or cash back services.
- Live in a Tiny House.
- Grow your own food and buy local.

- Use your local library. 1000's of books and periodicals can be borrowed for FREE.
- And, when you do need to buy a book, you do have a Kindle or other Ereader, right? Not only, do not have to find room for shelves and stacks of books, but ebooks cost less and are extremely portable.
