Best thing we did was to stop renting.

I spent 2 yrs living with my parents, Powersaving. We managed to put a downpayment on a house, and presto. no more rent money disappearing down the tube.

Pay cash for cars. Buy used, then save the equiv of a car payment for 2 yrs, buy another used, etc.

do not nickle and dime yourselves with add-ons: telephone service with call waiting, etc etc, extra $5/month plus taxes per service. same with cable tv.

shop at No frills type stores. save about $50 on a $200 shopping.

Eat out maybe once a month.
