[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don’t defer car or house maintenance Programmable thermostat- set to a lower temperature in winter and higher in summer Mow your own lawn, trim your own bushes Brown bag lunches Go vegetarian 2-3 times a week beans and eggs are cheaper proteins Only buy fruit when it is in season. No berries in the winter. Frozen veggies and fruits can be economical too. Clean your own house. Make it a daily/weekly family activity Use municipal summer camps [b]Downsize your house [/b] Visit family/friends and have them visit you instead of vacations [/quote] If you have a good mortgage rate, you're extremely unlikely to save money downsizing your house. Maybe if you are going from a large SFH to a condo that is not close in, such that you could buy the condo outright or nearly so. [/quote] It's not that simple. You aren't factoring in that many have a lot of appreciation in their larger homes that they can pull out. [/quote]
