that's easy - just stay home more - cook more, eat less, work out more - save, save and save to get outta here!   :dog:

plastic bottle (or bottles) with rocks on the bottom & fill with tap water then put them inside the toilet. It helps reduce the water use on the refill cycle. :cat:

Drive smarter
Take off slowly from a full stop.
Avoid idling.
Change those spark plugs often.
(i did said moped before) Buy a motorcycle or scooter.
Fill the tank full and not $10- $20 here & there.
Wait until you have a quarter tank to fill up on gas.
Avoid quick acceleration and hard braking.
Slow down the air resistance goes up as the square of velocity but maintain a steady speed. :cat:

i switched my cable provider since its lower for new costumers.
I buy electronics used or refurbished like my phone that I paid $50 for when the company was selling it for $150.
I shop online and I use a lot of cash back websites and mostly buy items when they are on sale.

I pay off expenses and then never charge anything else if using a CC.  This would go for anything.  I look at it this way, if you don't make a bill you have less to worry about at the end of the month.

 Save up on the side, shop at dollar stores, try to eat out less, etc.

I did an output analysis of my spending and eating out was the only expense I was disappointed by. I've been eating out much less since I did the analysis a few months ago and your tip of taking your own food definitely works. I'll check out that soap melting video, I wanted a dispenser that does it for me but I've had no luck finding one.

Geothermal systems
Runs pipingdeep into the Earth’s surface to areas of heat. Water is run through these pipes and picks up the heat as it travels deep into the Earth. On its way back, it can deliver hot water and heated air for climate control purposes. This will lower electrical costs significantly, and do it without harming the environment. :cat:

I've been interested in solar heating for a while now.
