  3. Try to opt-out of consumerism(which is very hard, I know). When I try to take the time to distinguish between needs and wants, and then try to limit myself to the needs, I cut my spending by about 70%.

  7. Most families live in dread of big budget expenditures--new tires for the car, a replacement water heater, unexpected medical/dental expenses. Truth is, as financially painful as those bills are, the real drain on the family budget comes in recurring expenses. Family members need to commit to conserving electricity, gas and gasoline as a regular habit. Making choices about routine expenses is difficult but saves money.
