dont eat out as often. no heat
I turned my heat down to 65 and dress warm. Do not use hot water for my laundry. When it is warm enough I turn off the heat and lift the windows. No home phone and I use coupons when I can.

My wife and I each get a $100/month allowance for fun money so we have to save or pick and choose our entertainment, makes paying the bills much easier.
buying furniture. With people losing their homes the quantity and price of high end furniture on ebay is astounding. I just bought a 8500 credenza for 250 bucks. Brand new Baker italian provincial. now is definitely the time to take advantage of other people foolishness
I usually eat at home on Saturday. That used to be our night to eat out. I have cut roller skating to once a week. I used to skate 3 times a week. I used to get lunch at McDonalds or KFC on shopping day. That's out.

leave the money at home. old ppl like me are forgetful
cancelled credit cards. Pay bills on time .Don't,t drive as much .turn lights off. Also always check at least three different sources when making a substantial purchase. The last item saves the most money,always mention the previous quote to the next source.
My parents are bit nutty...we heat completely with wood, make salves out of wild plantain, gather eggs(until our chickens got eatan), don't have cable TV, only buy from thrift stores and items on sale in the store, and now we are re-using our dental floss. ... So...yeah, my parents are a bit of nuts. But our family of seven lives on way less then 35,000 a year. So it works.
We live in an older house that our grandparents own, but will soon consolidate houses to save money. We will live in a two story with plenty of bedrooms, but I don't know that there is enough room in one house for two families. I've heard that doesn't work so well, but we're gonna try it. With the economy the way it is I hear that a lot of kids are having to share homes with their families.
