Cool thanks for the heads up.

1. Don't go to the movies. Wait for the DVD. 2. Turn off your water heater if you're going to be gone more than 2 days. 3. Turn off the lights all the time if you're not using them. 4. Pay more than what's due on credit cards. I know it's hard, but it SAVES you money in the end.

The best way to save money is to borrow money from your rich friends and never pay back. Only shop in the dollar store. I called the electric company and I told them I was on vacation so I only have 40 percent power and it saves a lot of money for me. The discount really works. We only make a 1 dish meal. We eat out of the same plastic bowl. We only drink tap water. We recycle toilet paper. We all bathe together once per week. We share our clothes. Underwear is to be worn only on Sundays at church. We eat free food at Church. Go to alot of funerals and weddings for free carryout food. We don't drive we bum rides. That is how we get to stay in our 400,000 house in Cary. Happy Friday people.

Avoid impulse spending.

I canceled the insurance on the cell phones, when I found out it would cost $50 to replace phone, even after 3 weeks.

Quit working go on Government assistance. Move in with your neighbor. Use the gas in your neighbors car. Hang out in bathrooms in the legislative building and see if you are offered envelopes full of cash.
