Store food properly to make it last as long as possible. Use the life out of all your appliances, but save up enough money to replace them quickly if they are nearing the end of their lifespan. Add one or two small new-to-you items to make things seem different. What other ‘make do’ solutions do you have? .

How did you get interested in saving money? I think I’ve always liked to save money. Growing up in a large family, we had enough, but with the specter of inflation and bad job market (gotta love the 70’s and 80’s) , there was definitely a feeling of needing to make sure you had a cushion.
