I have 3 girls—soon 4, I shop at consignment stores! So so so many name brand clothes for 1/4 of the price, and it’s handed down a couple times! Saves us hundreds!!

We do all of those things. And hang clothes to dry outside or inside, no clothes dryer. Got rid of the electric range – using duxtop induction cooktops, countertop oven, so much less electricity.

Only one grandson, he gets so many gifts, so we opened an account for him and add money to it for birthday and holidays. Plus I am educating him on the power of compound interest, start saving young, how Roths work. He likes that.

Me too… plus I start plants from seeds, use laundry sheets instead of big plastic jugs of detergent. I wash on cold and line dry in good weather or on a rack in winter, only using a dryer long enough to get the wrinkles out. got a used instant pot and batch cook for the freezer, I use a loyalty card for gas and heating oil.

I don’t go out much, but enjoy free live concerts in the parks in my own city and about a 30 mile radius. I bought a kayak several years ago and often take a picnic out on the lake with a book.

I love my home and pray the rent doesn’t go up like many are now. People in my life are more important than things now, and I definitely don’t need new things.
