[quote=Anonymous]Little stuff doesn't matter much in the grand scheme of things so we don't watch little things very closely (coffee, Amazon, etc.). In order of impact on our bottom line here are our frugality tips: - 15 year mortgage only slightly more than 1x HHI - 2 Hondas paid for in cash (one 11 years old and one 3 years old) - clean our own house - do our own yardwork - DH does most home repairs/maintenance himself and most car repairs (when it makes sense for him to do so from a complexity/time/cost perspective) 1/3 of what we make goes to expenses, 1/3 to the tax man and 1/3 goes into 2 maxed 401ks, backdoor Roths and the balance in taxable.
