    Work from home. It saves you a lot.

    Forage for food

    Grow a garden

    Dried beans are an amazing value.

    Buy not rent.

    Learn Linux and reuse old computers. Corporations usually lease them and sell off old ones cheap.

    Walk when possible.

    Get multiple quotes for things.

    Always haggle. I’ve haggled at Walmart.

    Drink water if you eat out.

    I am not sure what exactly the technique is called, I just followed a guide. You close your eyes and focus entirely on the flow of air entering and leaving your body. Just concentrating on breathing.

    Forgive me, I am pretty new to all this. I picked up meditation around August of last year.


  • I’m newer to this. I know this may be a bit taboo, but I use meditation to relax before bed so I can sleep. I focus on a calm mind and breathing. I had pretty bad insomnia and it’s helped so much to do this.

    I also get very stressed at doctor’s appointments and such and slip it in before while waiting. I went from near hospitalization levels of blood pressure to a normal blood pressure.

    It’s amazing how much it helps.
