Consider This: Use your financial past to your advantage. If you failed, learn from your mistakes and adjust your habits accordingly. If you succeeded, understand how you did well so that you can continue and improve upon your success.
Recreation / Vacationing / Entertainment: Vacationing during the offseason is generally less expensive. It also gives you a higher negotiating power. Since many airlines and hotels are short on customers during certain times of the year, they are more willing to offer discounts. Don't be afraid to ask for a discount before making your reservation.
Auto: When approaching a hill, accelerate slightly, but do not speed up as you ascend the hill. Instead, maintain a consistent speed before coasting down the other side.
Auto: When beneficial, work near where you live to reduce travel costs. Not only will you save money on gas, but your vehicle will last longer. Sometimes, however, this is not the most cost effective option. At times a neighboring community will have much lower living expenses, so research the costs before decided where to live and work.
Consider This: When buying something, consider your motives. Are you making this purchase to keep up with the Joneses? Is it for temporary happiness or out of boredom? Do not carelessly spend your money. Instead, understand your motives and be certain they are the proper ones. Your purchases should line up with your goals and values. If they do not, you should not be making them.
