Don’t buy anything that is not on the list unless you forgot something truly important. Eating out harms you in two ways.

Buy as small a house as you can while still being comfortable. Rent instead of own. Buying isn’t always the better investment. 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.

Maybe you have stopped eating out as much or perhaps you have put off expensive purchases. You might have even thought about cutting out your expensive cable or satellite bill.

Eating Out. Use coupons, children eat free specials, and discounted restaurant gift certificates to save on meals. Look at the pattern of how money was spent in prior months eating out. If eating out two to three times a week costs the family one hundred dollars, become ruthless at reducing that amount in half.
