Well yes and no i think i posted about partnership before ok heres what i think on both subjects.
Don't get married: yes if your not financially ready to because its quite costly but if your prepared for it then shure go for it.
Don't get divorced: well yes and no divorces are sad but it depends on the situation and yes it can hurt financially but if the better 1/2 isn't working out as a partner then yes divorce but divorce @ the right time for both of you but till you both sign the paper do a legally separated form so that you both can date or get together with other people (just to get on with your own lives) but you both can't get legally married till the divorce papers are signed

I have reduced the timer on my pool pump. It's a real electricity hog. When I find an item on sale, something I need and will use, I buy in quantity.

Yeah the TV Cable was outrageous for me.  So, i did not have cable for 10 years.  I moved to new apartment and had to get something so I am trying Satellite.  It is okay the first year then the price goes up.  I should have just bought somekind of outside atenna or something.

I absolutely agree! When I performed an outgoing finance analysis on my own situation the only thing I saw that I needed to cut down on was getting my hair done and eating out and since then I've scaled back from getting my hair done once a month to every 3-6 months but I'm still tackling the eating out vice.

Understanding how much income is coming in on a monthly basis is imperative. It's a numbers thing you look at your numbers, you look at your expenses and what you're setting money aside for, and you know that the sum total has to be less than what you're bringing home and it's much easier than people may think. :cat:

When everyone is in the same room use a fan instead of the AC- your electric bill will thank you.

stop spending money if it not a necessity, prioritize, work harder and longer hours, save $, pay off things as soon as you can, write down every expense, save reciepts, make annual changes to your bills, take out small loans and pay them back quickly.  use tax $ wisely, etc... :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Invest in a stove fan for saving money on heating that increased the heat in the room to sweltering point and it also sends the heat into the adjacent rooms. :cat:

Excellent advice! I think learning to live modestly must become a lifestyle in order to see any real results from doing so and not feeling deprived throughout the process.

Attend Concerts at Local Colleges
Go to Museums
Check out Community Events
Go to the Park
Borrow or Rent Movies
Bowl
Try Backyard Camping
Play Miniature Golf
See Movies at Discount Theaters
Play Cards and Board Games
Have Christmas in July When Goods are on Sale
Take Free Tours
It's not about each little penny here and there, It's the total sum as you learn a lifestyle of conservation, where the pennies add up to dollars, and the dollars add up to hundreds of dollars. And it helps the environment as well. :cat:

       Try to get some items for free, if you can! Visit your local food bank. And other websites that offer free stuff by mail.
