I love to buy things second hand. Not only do I save a significant amount of money, but I also keep those still useable items out of the landfill. Just look at the many people scouring garage sales in the summer. Likewise, thrift stores are always full of people. I saved hundreds of dollars this way.

In 2015 I’m challenging myself to rethink purchases by taking advantage of more cost effective solutions like borrowing, buying second hand, or just making do with what we already have. So I took advantage of some good sales at Kohl’s and Target and bought her running capris, socks and two spring outfits.

Our emergency fund has saved us countless times and it will save us once again with the truck. If you are self-employed, work for a company or in an industry that is unstable, or maybe you or someone in your family has medical issues, you might want to save 6-12 months of expenses. Put the money saved into your emergency fund.
