Renting movies in this way is a great way to stick to your budget, over maintaining a dish or satellite TV system. Now take it one step further: save money on entertainment by checking out your movies at the public library. Nearly every library has expanded their catalog to include a diverse range of media offerings.

Back when I was engaged and living on my own for the first time (I lived with my parents while in grad school to save on rent), I went to the library a lot and found a copy of the Tightwad Gazette. Eventually, when I was married and working at a library I ordered my own copy of the Complete Tightwad Gazette–and I still have it!

Family Balance Sheet

Find a fitness video series that you enjoy and rent from the library or purchase. If I don’t wear something within a season, I donate it–unless it is an occasional use type of piece like the dressy shoes above. Find a partner to keep you accountable. I also stick to classic, inter-changeable pieces.

Can’t believe I live here – a lake near my house Because I’ve lived so many different places, I’ve seen first-hand how good use of available resources can really improve overall community experiences, such as community gardens that utilize city-wide composting programs, to libraries, cycling infrastructure.
