You could flip a house, or buy a multi-family complex and rent out the units. I also find that putting my money to work for extracurricular activities for my son, and for cultural experiences like plays and concerts, are investments in my lifestyle. The money might be gone, but my family’s lifestyle is improved.

We went by train, rented a car to see the sights at Yellowstone and flew back home. I took the family to London for about a week. We’ve gone back home after driving for up to a half hour because neither of us can remember if we turned off the coffee – it is a standing joke in our family.

We already pay for Netflix, and my son-in-law lets us use his Apple TV account, so I’ll report back with an update on this post after we’ve tried it for a couple of months! Trade services with your friends and family. For one-time projects, consider renting. Negotiate your bills. This is something I do twice a year.

But when dangerously sexy rock star Cole Turner rolls into town and rents every room in her hotel, she starts to rethink her rule. But when her family asks her to temporarily help their Dare Valley, Colorado newspaper, she decides it’s time to change her life and prove her ex wrong. It’s all very… normal.

Your first month is totally FREE, which is awesome because you can watch/rent as many movies as you want and then decide if you want to keep it or not (just be sure to cancel before your 30 days if you don’t). One last thing that I love is that I can ‘share’ this with my family. Don’t let any of this scare you.

We rented the scaffolding for $50 from Menards so I could finish this massive painting project. We can decorate it however we want and then we post it on Facebook and have our friends and family vote on their favorite. Growing up we tended to be a paycheck-to-paycheck family. How did you get interested in saving money?

Our son is 29 and biological. We consider her our “bonus kid” and our family is extremely close. When they got married, they bought a duplex so that the rent money from the tenant in the upstairs apartment would pay the mortgage. Aside from those exceptions, we did all the work ourselves and with the help of family.

For example, I’ve been telling my son for years that he should start a handyman business. Social media makes advertising easy, and your friends and family can share too! I loved all the people I met and made extra money, which we needed back then as a young military family with two kids. Rent a room in your house.
