Yep. This is dinner. If you're not going to eat it, go to bed. No PB&J or cereal.

My parents grew up during the depression so not wasting was a huge part of our culture. Waste not, want not.

Start saving early. Interest earned on interest that you have already earned is wonderful.

Pay off your credit card every month, in full.

Drive what you can afford to pay for. If you have to get a big loan, you don't need it.

Pay extra money down on the principal of your home loan. If you are not making enough to do this, get a side job. You will thank me later.

My parents also grew up this way... Getting out of school to pick cotton even.

But they spoiled me a bit too much growing up so it took me getting a little older and wiser to look back at the way they managed to do what they did on the income they had.

I'm trying not to do that with our kids... I'm like, it just cost us 150 bucks to go out to eat on vacation... We could have stayed here an extra night? Was it worth it to you?
