Take advantage of your local library. If you are an avid reader like me, use your public library whenever possible. If the library doesn’t have your book in stock yet, have some patience. Instead of eating out, why not experiment with some recipes at home. This will only add extra savings to the mix.

Look at the pattern of how money was spent in prior months eating out. Actively choose to not buy anything that can be borrowed.

That meant no vacations, no new clothes, no eating out, nothing. Take the time to enjoy a good book (on loan from the library) or go for a hike or bake a meal at home from scratch. As a result, while travel is one the horizon in the next few years, building up my savings is the priority right now.
