@TVwriter23 Some kids sink, and some kids SWIM. If they made good grades, the would try to get scholarships. If not join the military to pay, work their way through, or take the minium loans and pay them back. RESPONSIBILITY.
@imhotep1 Funny true story: a somewhat “wealthy” couple that live in my town bought the dilapitated house next door to me. The wife told me their flipping it to pay for their son’s college. Their idea of flipping is to slap paint on the house, but they didn’t bother to scrape it all the way first, put new shingles on without realizing half the roof was rotted and there’s wasps nests underneith, and then leaving it half painted for weeks at a time because their kids “didn’t feel like it”.
The Christmas tip is actually a really good one. After Christmas (or any holiday) I buy that stuff at 90-95% off, keep it until summer, and sell it on my garage sales for around half of what it originally retailed for. I do the same thing at auctions, buy large lots of things that nobody else wants, sort it out at home, and have garage sales with it at almost pure profit.
maybe if more people listened to these cheap people 3 years ago,maybe they would not be losing their house right now,how about never eating out,and forgoing on xmas and all holidays for just 1 year,you would save thousands and thousands of dollers,how about we just give up holidays all together,if someone wants something,buy it yourself with your own money
@EricSchwin22 not everyone lives in southern california or miami. what if you live in say…north dakota? sledding everyday? hmmm don’t think so.
I dumped Verizon for cricket,Verizon charged me 170/month and Cricket charges me.45/month for the same service on my Black Berry.
The planning your grocery shopping 1 time a week thing is right on the money. I save at least $30 – $100 a week by doing it that way. Although I buy whatever I want regardless of price, I simply plan for the week – and I automatically save. I also throw out less food, and spend a little less on gas too.
buy 100 books, get them signed, then sell them for more. you’ll make $1000.
Dump your cell phone plan, dump your internet plan and all cable TV…go out to the beach everyday and surf or swim, or go golfing, any hobby you enjoy. Spend money only on food and on occasion spend some money for yourself once every 4 to 5 months! Problem solved!!!
I have never once responded to a youtube video (though I am a youtubeaholic), but I must admit: that “I saved more money by switching to Geico” was downright hilarious. Thanks for making me laugh!!
We do have a land line for contact with the children’s school, doctors, and my school advisers. It costs us $20 per month for the bare minimum.
My husband and I love pre-paid phones. Especially since he works out of state 90% of the time. We have pre-paid phones with mobile to mobile. We chose Cingular since the majority of our friends and all of our families use that service. It costs us about $30 every 3 or 4 months total.
@pest0711 i also consider myself as one of the cheapest person.. in mobile phones, i use reverse calls like 08000mumdad. clever ei?
@MrEnergyCzar Your video is great! Thanks for sharing it. I only watched one – it would be great if you could summarize what each of the upgrades you did cost you.
We also love T-Mobile – we promote them on our web site and have 2 of their prepaid phones.

Dump your cell plan and get T-Mob pay as you go (minutes only).. I pay $100 for 1,000 minutes per year, no contracts…thats over an hour a month….
if you wanna save money most specially on mobile phone bills then use 08000mumdad.
Check out my “mad man” video shot in the aisles of Walmart!
How is it teaching kids a lesson about money if they are so in debt up to their eye balls? All it teaches them is when they get out to do the same thing. Funny thing is the parents will be bitching talking about they never taught their children to be so crazy with money.
For some people not paying for their kids college teaches the kids the old fashioned pay your own way. It’s a tough love approach that sometimes works.
Those entertainment books are awesome! Not only do we use them when eating out or going to a movie, we used it on a rental car when our car broke down. And a word of advice about coupons, only use the ones that are for your normal purchases. Don’t use a coupon just because you have it. Then you are just spending more and not saving.
were can you get coupon deals and such. I wanna be a couponer. Ive tried a coupon book and I saved alot big time. I need site where I can pay 10 bucks or something a year or month and save huge amounts of money. Private message me or send me link or add me. Thanks – Canadian too – Ontario
hahahah rofl
Think people would appreciate this no matter when it was posted. In fact , it should be on people’s mind even more now. Not only do you do it, but you share it and get some fame and fortune from it!
Hey! i was gonna say that, dammit
Wednesday, 1/28/09. Looks like this was posted 1/19/07, (2) years ago already. They are talking about Christmas of 2006. I was just curious about the date of the video. I didn’ t see or hear anything while watching the video. I’m assuming the posting date is the one listed under MavinOfSavin.
