But, in college, I spent my summer earnings – on clothes, on a used car and on school activities. As a young mom, I saved like mad – going to garage sales, thrift stores and accepting hand me downs on toys and clothing. Over my life, I have been primarily a saver.

At garage sales, are you attracted to those still usable but slightly defective items that no one else wants? You can take an active role in changing our throw away society to one that produces less waste, and reduces consumerism. He was a trained radio and TV repairman, when those had tubes. I wish he was still around.

If you’d prefer to do something a little more active fitness videos are a good way to get started. You may discover an activity you had never heard of, or something you wouldn’t normally pay money to try. Check out local thrift stores, Craigslist ads, and garage sales for low cost (and sometimes free!)

They kind of look like the ones for sale at Curious Country Creations. Plan ahead and hit garage sales, but especially estate sales. You can pick up beautiful decorations, wreaths, linens, trees and more at these sales. Thrift stores are also a great place to shop. These make nice gifts too.

Today it is much less expensive to buy your clothes, even if you buy brand new and certainly if you shop some of the chic re-sale shops or even the thrift stores. What income producing activity could you have pursued while making that new shirt? I’d rather see you be a CEO or business owner! Poly lasts forever!
