From driving your brother to a job interview to running a few errands for a neighbor in need, your time can make a big difference. Don’t limit yourself to the thrift stores, either. My brother, a student, has an open invitation to come to dinner. Instead, the money the charity does have can go toward helping more people.

Ours was smaller (about 700 square feet) – 2 bedrooms (my brother and I shared one and my parents the other), a kitchen and a living room, No basement or garage. Kids did chores and not all of them were ‘safe’ My brother mowed the lawn with a homemade electric lawnmower. Most of us did not have air conditioned homes.

How did you get interested in saving money? What’s the “why” behind your money-saving efforts? Electronics/beauty products/new furniture or household items (I’m using things left by my grandparents & living in their house, have done some changes & repairs but free/thrift is excellent).
