    Personally, I would not sacrifice many lifestyle choices for PMs, but I'm still young and reckless (middle age denial)
    The way that works pretty well for me is:


    NEVER SPEND A $5 NOTE.


    Try it.
    stack high!

    Duh, it's like the third thing you'd do after eating the Nutella out of the jar and getting naked.

    Shaving with a straight razor/safety razor is a good way to save money. I started shaving with them just to save more money. Buying the equipment is going to cost you about $150-$200. It costs me a maximum of $20 a year to buy new razors and shaving soap/cream. Sometimes i spend less than that. You still get the baby smooth shave that everyone likes but it will take a little practice to get there. So in the short run it's going to cost you some money but in the long run it's going to save you tons of money. More silver ;) or maybe more money to pay bills with.

    Don't borrow it, write it, and use the royalties to buy more silver.

    I gave it a go...but require 'the fools pass' to feel like I've had a proper shave. Ultimately, I like my nose where it is. :lol:

    Use Washing up Liquid to clean your hands when working on the car.. Just as good as hand cleaning liquid from the auto shop. Just a little saving but it all adds up.. Borrow from the kitchen when no on is looking> :)

    I save money on soap/toothpaste by not bathing or brushing my teeth.

    As an added benefit, I don't get invited to parties or social gatherings so I don't have to fork out for expensive gifts or restaurant bills.

    Add sugar to it, instant swarfega! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swarfega

    Granulated not icing, I should say, gives a nice bit of abrasion to grind the dirt out and it doesn't block your sink up.
