I am most inspired by Holly Ordway. If I can cut my expenses down to thirty percent of my take home pay. I will be Extremely happy.

I cut my husband’s hair, but not my own. I can’t see to cut mine. I do trim my front to make the hair cuts last longer. I consider myself pretty frugal, my husband considers me tight. We still struggle since our income is not great, yet I know we could do better if we tried more. Eating out is a bit of a downfall, but with gas prices that is changing too. Food money is now going into the gas tank.

Thanks for some more suggestions to work on and for a great blog.

Great post!! There are some things on that list I already do, some I plan on doing, and some I prob won’t or just not able to do.
I definitely won’t be cutting my own hair. I get a hair cut once a year or so anyway. =) This time I might grow my hair and sell it. =)

Forget cutting the hair, just let it grow! I only get it trimmed twice a year, and because I always keep it pulled back at work, people don’t even notice the long hair until I turn around. And in case you’re wondering, I’m a professional site manager, not landscaping or anything truly “gruntish”….not that I haven’t done that too.

I always try to cook at home. I don’t like to spend unnecessarily outside.

@Laura…I think if I had the skills to build a house I’d be making some cash here in Texas…their still going up all around me.

@Emily – I agree. They ARE inspiring.

@BeThisWay – LOL

@John – Good point about making more. That DOES help. I wish I could cut my own…I’d butcher it.

It’s definetly all about not spending money (although making more helps too!).

I’ve been cutting my own hair for about 10 years – that clipper was one of my best investments ever.

I cut my own bangs in the 9th grade, and the results scarred me for life.

Haircuts are cheaper than therapy, so I’ll keep paying for them.
