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! Stress the importance of saving and staying away from debt.

There was a time (pre-pandemic) that I ate lunch out almost every day with friends. Put the money saved into your emergency fund. Dinner time can be stressful for everyone. 17 – Find a part-time job. It was an escape from the office, but it was eating up my budget…see what I did there!

Not enough time in the morning to make breakfast AND pack a lunch, one word: leftovers! Put the money saved into your emergency fund. Dinner time is stressful. But when you’re trying to save money, cut out this costly expense. 15 – Find a part-time job.

We also grow a large garden & lots of flowers, fruit trees & a 100-year-old grapevine. I seriously overextended on planting and underestimated how much work my dad used to do so hopefully I’ve learned from my mistakes & will not kill myself in the garden this year! This means funds are tight.

I currently work part-time from home, mostly behind a computer. Years — I can’t remember how I found Kristen, but ages ago I spent a lot of time reading The Simple Dollar and Get Rich Slowly, which I loved back then before they were sold. The focus was on saving money and resources and living in an eco-conscious way.

I’ve been teaching part time for over 25 years. I like to bake and read, and I spend time chauffeuring kids to activities and games. I volunteer at my kids’ school at lunch time and other events. What’s the “why” behind your money-saving efforts? Why do I want to save money?
