[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let's find out the embarrassing things you do to save money:
1. State your HHI.
2. List some things you do to save money.
3. List some ways how you waste money (not a waste to you, but to most people)
Then we can make fun of each other. Or maybe we can learn new ways to save money.

I'll start.
1. HHI = $500,000
2. I am embarassed about using lots of dining coupons (not enough to stop though). I love the Entertainment Book and restaurant.com. I almost never return to the same restaurant unless I get another discount. I am very conservative with paper products. i.e. Napkins, tissues, toilet paper, writing paper. One shampoo bottle can last nearly a year.
I like to walk instead of drive. I shop online but always through a portal that gives me 1-10% cash back.
3. One year, I bought about 10 timeshare weeks. Some I love, some I now regret. I have a $2.5 million house. My DS had about 6 private tutors each week in a variety of areas.[/quote]

Many of the "embarrassing things" we do to live a smaller carbon footprint also save money.
1)HHI $160k  - one income- 
2) We wash our plastic ziplock bags, I shop at thrift stores first, no paper napkins, 3-4 rolls of paper towels per year,  we compost and have only one trash pick up a week, we wear clothes to their death, we wear out cars to their death, brown bag lunches, we plan errands for the most efficient driving plan, we try to do without first, we drive instead of fly...
3) I try to buy local sustainable food, I buy TP made from recycled paper, we have an every other week housecleaner, we buy good shoes,...

I'll take one of your timeshare! [/quote]
