HOW TO TAKE BACK YOUR LIFE FROM THE GOVERNMENT & FEDERAL RESERVE
Below is the list of ideas from my latest article to regain control of your life and not be a serf to Washington DC and Wall Street. Feel free to add more suggestions. It will help everyone. I've got one since I posted the article.
Buy 2 lbs of Maxwell House at Wal-Mart for $6 and make a pot of coffee every morning, instead of hitting Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts, or WaWa. This will save you $900 a year.
I'm sure there are thousands of good ideas. Let em rip.
* Bring your lunch to work. Savings of $1,000 to $2,000 per year.
* Stop buying things.
* Keep your appliances until they stop working.
* Realize that it isn’t a competition with your neighbor to die with the most stuff.
* Mow your own lawn. Better yet, if you have kids, make them do it.
* Learn to embrace dandelions and crabgrass. Who cares?
* Wash your car in the driveway. Better yet, if you have kids, make them do it.
* Buy your next car and drive it for 10 years or 150,000 miles, whichever comes first.
* Buy a car that gets at least 30 mpg, as $200 a barrel oil is a certainty in the next decade.
* Tell your kids they are lucky to have whatever you give them.
* When you walk into a room and the CNBC is on TV, switch immediately to When Animals Attack.
* Don’t answer the phone – it’s someone asking for something.
* Don’t throw out your old sneakers – you can use them to cut the lawn.
* Turn the heat down to 60 degrees at night.
* Go to the poor man’s Disney World, Wildwood, N.J. and save $4,000 for a weeks vacation.
* Eat out once per month rather than three times a week and you’ll magically save $3,000 to $4,000 per year.
* Contribute into your 401k until it hurts. Picture yourself handing out yellow smiley stickers at the age of 80 in a Wal-Mart as motivation.
* Buy some gold, just in case.
* Plant a vegetable garden, just in case.
* Instead of spending $40 at the movies, go for a hike in a National Park like Valley Forge.
* Have a catch with your son.
* Understand the motivation of anyone who is telling you anything. Most people have an angle.
* When the guy in the Mercedes or BMW in front of you is wearing their hat sideways, your taxes are probably making their car loan payment.
* When you see that same guy pushing a cart with a 52 inch HDTV out of Best Buy, your taxes are probably making the payment to Capital One
