1. Don't buy a bigger/more costlier house than you can afford or need!
Buying a cheaper/smaller home will allow you to have money to put away for emergencies ( or gives you the option to pay off your mortgage earlier) and will save you more on utilities, furnishings, taxes, and insurance too!
2. Consider being a property manager/caretaker for an apartment complex!
We were assistant managers of an apartment complex for 3 years. My husband was laid off from his job and found one making much less money and I was home with our baby at the time. I would clean hallways and laundry rooms 2 days a week and my husband would do repair work in the evenings 2 or 3 nights a week (which he did along with the managers husband) This job allowed me to stay home with our baby and not pay for daycare, we got a FREE apartment which included heat, and my husband learned a lot about home maintence and repair which helped us later when we bought our home. The rent money we saved for a down payment. Another perk of this job was that we cleaned and painted the vacancies for additional income.
3. Learn to cook! Eat at home!
Healthier too!
4. Coupons aren't always the BEST money saving deal!
I could fill a whole post on this subject alone!!
5. DECLUTTER AND ORGANIZE TO SAVE MONEY!
Knowing what you have and where it is will save you money big time! no more running to the store because you can't find an item or having multiples of the same item because you forgot where it was. see my post on organizing kits!
