He wants to retire early so he can do more woodworking, electronic fixing, and maybe work at a winery or brewery part-time. Last year I bought a manual car for $14k in cash, thinking I would learn to drive manual. Manual cars are generally cheaper than automatic and have better gas mileage because they are lighter weight).

I currently work part-time from home, mostly behind a computer. During the pandemic, I earned extra money detailing cars. I’ve always loved cars and I enjoy the satisfaction of the before and after. I learned how to repair my own car. A question from me : what do you recommend for car detailing?

We have significant food restrictions so sourcing our own is helpful health-wise & cost-effective too. Now-I’m a single parent who works part-time, cares for my elder mother, homeschools & runs a farm. We have several food intolerances/needs so cooking is just mostly easier/cheaper. This means funds are tight.

Last year, to make a little extra cash, I started boarding dogs through Rover, and I am about to start a very very part time job using my RN license for a home care company. In my free time I enjoy canning and preserving food (well, I enjoy the results of it, ha!), canned peaches = summer in a jar 2.

Our mom stayed home to raise us kids; she went to work part-time in the local school system after both my brother and I were in school. My dad was a blue-collar worker – a machine operator on the railroad who sometimes got laid off for periods of time in the winter. What’s the easiest/hardest part of being frugal?

Go hiking and camping and show them the beauty of the outdoors (and teach them to leave trails and campsites better than when you arrived) Plant a garden with your children to give them a tangible example of how much fun growing your own food and eating healthy can be! And vice versa!)

Although friends tried to help by offering part time employment, she was unable to keep a paying job. She charged up credit cards to buy food and clothing. Since she could no longer afford to pay it, she stopped the home insurance and stopped using the cars she inherited (also free and clear). Discontinue Insurance.
