Cut off cable TV or that little dish outside the house.
Get a minimalist cell phone unless you just have to have a smart phone on your ear when you walk down the street.
Drive a 10 or 20 year old car; it has to be reliable but it doesn't have to be new.
If you can't afford the house you currently live in relocate to a house you can afford.
Don't buy as much stuff. When you don't buy stuff, you not only save the recent inflationary price increases, you also save the baseline cost. You save 100 percent.
Don't eat out often. Cook at home more. Take lunch to work or school in a brown bag or, to reduce costs further, a clean lard bucket.
Don't buy high-priced coffee. Find a cheap workaround for coffee.
Don't let young children guilt you into buying junk. They have enough junk at home already. Get young children something of value - a single shot .22 for example. For safety reasons wait until they are old enough to know right from wrong; say five or six years old.
Speaking of target practicing: practice with a .22. Don't blast away with .556 costing $.50 per.
Choose a spouse that you are not going to have to divorce. Divorce is a wealth killer.
Don't take expensive vacations. Stay home and rest; or do something useful like pack the wheel bearings in your equipment trailer. Somebody's got to do it anyway.
And if you desperately need money, give some away. Don't ask me how but generous people seem to accumulate money and have everything they need and then some.
Just how big is the lunch that you pack?
Or are lard stands no longer 5 gallon bucket sized?
