We rent a shelter (usually), and it is bare! Some get stuff from stores, the less financially favored head for thrift stores, garage sales, Mom’s house or the trash pickup routes. We leave the nest – move out of Mom and Dad’s well stocked home. You donate to suitable charities.

Rent instead of own. If you calculate your mortgage interest, the cost of insurance and maintenance, buying can be much more expensive than renting. And if you rent, save money and then invest the difference. Shop around at garage sales, thrift stores and online classifieds for furniture and other household items.

Also, thrifting —I very rarely buy new, it’s normally secondhand. I used to garage sale quite a bit for my kids’ toddler and preschool clothes but as they’ve gotten bigger and pickier I have better luck finding what they’ll wear in their size at the thrift store. And better luck for us adults too.)
