I’ve been trying to save money since I started making money. I was a lot more successful at it when I was 11 and had a paper route and Mom and Dad were covering the major expenses. Now, in the days of rent and student loans, it's tough.
Every time I read a “Tips for saving $$$” feature on Yahoo! or CNN, they say the same thing: Bring a lunch, don’t buy it; bring coffee, don’t buy it; etc., all of which I already do. I get the impression they’re holding back on the good stuff, like “How to make a healthy, filling meal out of newspapers and wine corks.”
So here’s where you guys come in. Now that we’re a few months into the Greatest Depression Ever!, what have you been doing to keep your munnies safe by your side? The best idea wins a bright shiny nickel from me* which they can sock away for a rainy day.
* As soon as someone invents a way to send nickels over the Internetz.
