When was the last time you heard a news report about a burglar breaking into someone’s house to steal leftover paint, an old ladder, or some rusty tools? You may think you hid your gold coins well, but you would be surprised at just how obvious your “hiding place” is to a professional burglar. Do You Know a Millionaire Garage Sale-er?

I used an old seat cushion I had and wrapped it with brand new material from another garage sale to pretty it up and make it softer, then stacked new throw pillows I found at yet another sale for $.50 I used it for years and sold it – for $25 – last summer in my own garage sale. Glass leftover containers 3 for $.75.

Plan uses for your leftovers. There have been countless times I have seen nearly new, decorator pieces being sold for pennies on the dollar at garage sales because the homeowner decided to re-decorate. Make old t-shirts and dish cloths into rags to use when dusting or washing the car and etc. Use up your food.

It’s not as hard as you may think to still enjoy a great life while living more frugally. You may be able to afford a larger house, but that doesn’t mean you should live in one. Shop around at garage sales, thrift stores and online classifieds for furniture and other household items. Eat out less. Brown bag it to work.

What you have leftover is how much you can spend. You spend your money on the wrong stuff. You have bad money habits.
