Eight Life Hacks
This list is almost exactly what I would write if I had thought of it first.
When Mike and I sold our huge house in West Jordan, I learned this tip the hard way:
Live Small – What’s that, you can’t afford a three-bedroom, three bath house with a huge yard and garage in a neighborhood where #3 is possible? Good. Then you won’t buy so much crap. You’ll save money in the long run, and you’ll be happier, too.
What David doesn’t tell us is WHY this is true. When we lived in a big house, there was never a question about whether we had room for anything. If I found a crappy exercise bike for ten bucks at The DI, then I bought it, without thought. Now that I live in an 873 square-foot house, we have to weigh EVERY purchase. It makes me conscious about what is important.
