I really like this! I think a big thing is changing your perspective! My nine year old reminds me of what she learned in social studies, “Mom! You said you have to go to starbucks! Starbucks is a want, not a need.” Oh, the wisdom, I had to smile and thank her! Watch the company that you keep. Do you hang out with people who constantly whine and complain or feel the need to shop all of the time? Do you know someone who is already hardcore frugal and happy, not whining as if they are forced to be that way? Well, make plans with that person and let their attitude rub off on you!

Just a thought for those who want to cancel their internet service, but still go online sometimes – my library offers free wireless internet. Yours might too.

I love my local library.

Most libraries will let you have out like 10 movies at once, and they carry all of the latest releases as well as new music releases, so it’s not like you have to watch old movies or something.

Plus, with Internet access, you can simply order your movies online and pick them up at the library when ready.

Sometimes, depending on your vicinity to your library, you will get movies quicker than other requests as well, so maybe 20 people might be on a list for a movie, but if you live near the main library, you will get it first.

Oh yeah, they have something called books as well, which is what I believe movies are made from…

@Studenomics, You might be able to freeze your membership in the summer, or during other periods when you use it less.

It’s going to be tough getting rid of that maid service (kididng. I don’t know about cutting the gym membership as it’s a part of my daily life. Some of the other subscriptions are a bit easier to quit.
