There have been countless times I have seen nearly new, decorator pieces being sold for pennies on the dollar at garage sales because the homeowner decided to re-decorate. If you can’t afford a car, use public transportation. Avoid re-decorating your home every few years.

I happened upon some old canning Mason jars at a garage sale, and now we use those for everything–making iced tea in the summer, putting leftover soup in, holding our homemade laundry detergent. My husband takes public transportation to work every day. Throwing those away isn’t good for the environment.

I transported my kids everywhere either by walking, biking, or taking the bus. We specifically chose a community with biking, walking, and public transportation infrastructure. Hosting garage sales & reselling items. We lived for 2.5 years without a car, and our kids were 4 & 14 months when we moved there.
