to my fav five, i got some tips to help you save that much earned green while this recession stays mean. these tips are in no particular order, and are only there as thought to help you.

now my tips for you are as follows:
1. go to library - right now we have been saving bookals of money on movie rentals, and going to
the movies cause most of the films that i want to see i check out from the library. books are always good if you interested in educating yourself (from my previous post you know that i haven't been, but i've recently turned over a new leaf). probably the most important reason is the cd's. i've been able to track down most of the albums that i like to listen to there and gotten them for free (well almost).
2.grow a beard (for the men) - since i've grown a beard i have saved lots of time on not shaving, and money by not having to purchase razors. although my wife has slowly taken my razor over, and i find myself now buying more razors than before. maybe that one isn't such a good one.
3. don't buy a computer when your car breaks down - easier said than done i know. we took our meager tax return, and purchased a p.c. (much needed), then on our way home after purchasing the p.c. amy's car breaks down. sad i know, but luckily for us (me) we have rich in laws where money isn't an object (jk). we have blessed to have family around us who don't mind pulling their resources together to help us get our vehicle fixed (which cost almost as much as its worth). i guess that tip would be more of being surround by people who have resources to help and don't mind using them on you when needed.
4. parks - free public ones that is, when the kids get over anxious and need to shed some of that kinetic energy (they seem to have endless bounds of), we go there. they can play, and then try to kill each other, and then go home. good times.
5. the fifth & final tip for my five readers is to not have any friends. i say this cause since moving to arizona some years ago, i have no real close friends (nearby), so i don't get invited to do things that almost always cost money$$$$. i have some friends at work (work friends - (def) someone you work with, and are friends at work, and when the work bell rings for the day, you don't see them till the next business day) and they tell me about going out on town most weekend (even most nights) and spending money like its goin out of style.
anyway i hope i may have helped shed some light on your pocket book to try to keep some of that much earned and deserved dinero in it. on a closing remark, remember i am in no way an expert in any field nor do i have any specialized training in anything, so please use this advice with extreme caution, cause the anchor is not responsible for anyone (including but not limited to immediate family, friends, co workers, himself, etc).
