What are some new and creative ways to save money?

Everybody knows to buy things on sale, clip coupons, bring a lunch to work, and carpool. The age-old suggestions are great and truly useful, and I am finding success saving money. But there have to be newer ways to save in our economy/society!





My question is - what are some creative or unique things that you do to put some extra money into savings here and there?|||Just go through your budget items one by one. Review whether they are necessary and ask; Are you getting full value? You may have opportunities to renegotiate the terms of items in your budget. Sometimes it is a matter of opportunity but you always need to be ready when the opportunity presents itself. There can be some very significant savings waiting for you.|||why not put extra money into savings by making extra cash from selling items that you don't need around the house on ebay or ask around friends and family to see if they ahve things around the house they don't need and sell it on ebay and split the profit|||There's a shitload of money-saving and money-making books out there and a magazine called "Money", which had been out for at least 10 years since I remember seeing one back in 1997 at a library back when I was in high school. I bought a book called "Have More Money Now" where the former WWE wrestler JBL(John Bradshaw Layfield) says he he went from being flatbroke in his 20s to being a millionaire and a wall street legend. It's a pretty good book. There are also gurus like that stock market guy on TV back in 2008(think his name was Jim Cramer) where he acted energitic and had sound effects play and talked about the stock market, and then there's Suzie Orman who mostly talks about getting out of debt with an "Can I Afford it?" section.

















BTW, in response to the terrible question you posted above this one about where you ask why women stay with men who are losers,





You sound pretty harsh and actually kind of immautre to say such rubbish.





First of all, did it ever occur to you that maybe a lot of guys don't act all that self-confident and think highly of themselves because just maybe too much attention and positive reinforcement is given more toward women than men? Just look at TV sitcoms. Look at movies. Look at commercials. Look at the images and messages they constantly bombard men and women with. Maybe the men who you think are "losers" wouldn't be "losers" in your book if they had been treated as well as women are always getting treated with things like women's self-esteem, "women and money by Suzie Orman", etc.





What if you had a son and he grew up to a young man and acted exactly the same way as the guys who you call losers? Why not call him a loser while you're at it? Why not? If you think it would be wrong, then what makes you think it's any better and more right to call those guys losers who you are addressing?





Besides, aren't there women who are losers out there to? Aren't there men who love them, like them, or want to date them and make out with them no matter what? If this is true, then the exact same should apply with the gender roles being reversed. Maybe a guy you like might be considered a loser to other women but you like or love something about him that the others don't know is there.





WHAT IF YOU HAD A SON AND IN THE FUTURE AFTER HE GREW UP IN HIS 20S, HE ACTED THE SAME WAY AS THOSE MEN WHO YOU LABEL AS LOSERS AND THE GIRL HE'S DATING IS BREAKING UP WITH HIM BECAUSE HER ATTITUDE WAS THE EXACT SAME WAY AS YOURS IS RIGHT NOW? HOW WOULD YOU FEEL? WOULDN'T YOU WANNA TALK WITH HER AND TELL HER THAT YOUR SON IS A GREAT GUY OR YOU'D AT LEAST TELL HIM HE'S NOT A LOSER AND CAN GET A GREAT WOMAN? I BET YOU WOULD.
