[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My tip is to do a no buy year. Employ all of the tips you see on this thread (esp the making meals at home tip) with the goal of no unnecessary spending. (I still did a lot of fun stuff, just free or cheap.) I did this one year and saved enouh for a down-payment on a house. I did this another year and saved enough to cover daycare for my older kid while out on maternity leave. Did it once more but fo 3 and a half months to pay cash for a car. The habits I learned over these periods of frugality have mostly become ingrained. Having concrete goals was very helpful. This was inspired by a book I read (the title was something like My No Buy Year - I noticed there are a number of similarly titled books now, as well as articles and blog posts).[/quote] Wow. That's pretty inspirational.[/quote]
