  • Call your credit card company, wireless carrier, cable/telephone service, auto/home insurance company and ask if they can reduce your monthly bill.
  • Cancel your cable tv. If that’s really tough, try compromising with Netflix online, which is under $8.00 per month. Go to the matinee showing of movies.

  • Take public transportation, carpool, walk, or bike somewhere at least three times per week.
