How to Save on Babysitting

“…Though there are official bartering clubs, informal bartering often takes place in churches and other groups. We used to have a baby-sitting co-op. That's a form of bartering and saved lots in babysitting money. Ours was based on a point system which was coordinated by a different member each month. We each paid in a few points every month to that coordinator and took turns coordinating. Other co-ops work with tickets.”*

  This saved us sooo much!  We were also able to enjoy wonderful date nights this way.

How to Save Money With DIY

 “When we finally purchased our first home I began teaching myself to do tile work, lay floors, put up sheet rock, lay cement, etc., etc.  Not everyone will want to do this, but I've really enjoyed it...Many paint and home remodeling stores are very helpful in providing advice on projects.”*

 Always Get Roadside Assistance Coverage!

“Whether you purchase a new or used car (or if you have an older car) we highly recommend joining the Auto Club (AAA) or some other type of roadside service.  I've been a AAA member since 1972 and each of our kids has their own card.  It has been invaluable over the years and well worth the reasonable annual fee.”*

How to Save Money on Cars #5

“Save on gas expenses by purchasing regular gas, if your car doesn't require higher octane.  Also be sure your tires have the proper air pressure in them.  This simple action can increase your gas mileage.”*

  *From Quit Your Job! You Really Can Afford Stay at Home Parenthood (full of unique money saving hacks)

How to Save Money on Cars #4

  To Save on Car Repair:  “Act quickly if your car begins to make any strange noises or a warning light appears.  This can prevent further damage and expense.  If something goes wrong with the car, start by looking beyond the obvious.  Ask yourself logically, why this or that doesn't work.  Sometimes the car won't start because the battery contacts are corroded or a wire has come unsoldered.  I don't want to be accused of sexism, but it really is better to have a man take your car in to the mechanic.  There is a higher respect level among men and their mechanics.  It's just one of those guy things!  

 For whoever takes it in, it is extremely helpful if you can identify the problem before seeing the mechanic.  The mechanic will think you know something about it, even if you don't and might be less likely to take advantage of you.  So act smart even if you haven't much of a clue. Getting a meter that allows you to diagnose your car’s computer is invaluable! Maybe you or your husband can take a course in auto mechanics.  It is well worth the time and money even if you never do any of the work yourself.”*

 *From Quit Your Job! You Really Can Afford Stay at Home Parenthood (full of unique money saving hacks)

How to Save Money on Cars #3

 “Simple maintenance can really save money.  Become knowledgeable about the basics -- tune-ups, oil changes, and, especially, proper maintenance. Think about getting a "how-to" manual for your particular make and model. 

 It's always cheaper to maintain a vehicle than purchase another one.”*

*From Quit Your Job! You Really Can Afford Stay at Home Parenthood (full of unique money saving hacks)

How to Save Money on Cars #2

 “Cal learned exactly how to eliminate used cars from consideration and he knew what it would take to bring them up to peak condition…

 Be sure to get a good idea ahead of time of which cars are definite lemons.  They should be avoided no matter what their price.  They could end up costing you a lot in repair bills…

Avoid any cars that are no longer in production.  It can become very difficult to get replacement parts for them…In checking over a used car, always ask if it has been in any accidents and then, regardless of their answer, check for yourself.  The car may look fine, but by checking under the hood and inside the doors you may discover telltale signs that the car has been repaired and repainted.  Question the seller about anything you notice.  If you believe they are not being totally truthful, you may want to simply walk away.  If they are lying about one thing, they may be less than truthful on another.  Watch from the back while the car is being driven to be sure that the alignment on the car is OK.  A car that has been in a major accident may have a damaged frame.  This could even be a dangerous car to drive.  If you have any negative feelings about the car, walk away or check it out on CarFax.”* 

 *From Quit Your Job! You Really Can Afford Stay at Home Parenthood (full of unique money saving hacks)

 

How to Save Money on Cars #1

“Two researchers, Tom Stanley and Bill Danko, are leading experts on how to become rich.  In a recent study of millionaires they ‘...found that 37% of millionaires buy used cars...They let somebody else swallow the depreciation of a new car, then they drive it for years.’

 Eric Tyson, author of Personal Finance for Dummies  insists that the best way to buy a car is to pay cash.  By holding onto existing cars for as long as possible, he suggests that consumers can take the money they would have used to make payments and put it into savings until they have enough cash for another car…  Sometimes you may have to lease or purchase a late model car for business.  Cal had to do that, but the family car was always a used car.”*
