While gas prices aren’t faring any better, you can at least hit the road and travel the same distance you would fly for half the cost.

Doing so eliminates car payments, insurance bills, and maintenance costs. Buy A Scooter If you want to feel the breeze in your face but are afraid of climbing up on that Harley, check out small gas or electric-powered scooters.

Gasoline : We currently budget $75 a week for gasoline which translates to a tank of gas for our van. With gas prices falling significantly recently, we haven’t been using the full amount. Cutting our monthly investment for the future would be a last resort. By cutting $10 a week we will save a total of $40 per month.

Compare what you would spend on gas to what a small vehicle rental plus gas would be, and choose the more affordable option. Never get insurance through the rental car company if you rent a car. It’s overpriced, and you’re auto insurance or credit card probably covers rentals already. Be sure to check first.

When I did this I ended cutting my cable bill in half, rewrote my car and house insurance saving me $300 per year, stopped the coffee runs, and just about eliminated my dry cleaning bill. My favorite apps include: Checkout 51, Snap, Red Laser, Gas Buddy, and Shop Kick. With some small changes you could save hundreds.
