40 ways we save money!

Figured I would switch it up today and instead of writing about net worth I'm going to write about ways the Old School family saves money.  Why only 40 ways?  Well this is actually the 40th post here at Old School Coinage!  Although we haven't exactly been frugal lately, I have a few tips on how to save some cash and help you hit your goals faster.  Without further ado... 40 ways to save some coinage No gym membership (run outside and do exercise videos inside) Only do DIY when we actually can do DIY (no plumbing for us) Work together on the budget (united we stand) No Cable or Satellite Not upgrading our phones every year, or two years...or three years Cash flowing instead of financing Starting a garden Doing basic house maintenance Regularly maintaining our cars Keeping our "starter" furniture Not following HGTV trends in decorations (they will just be outdated soon anyway) Buying used when needed Buying new when needed Not being cheap Splitting
