1. Cut back on hanging out with lavish friends who do lavish things you don’t really enjoy.1. 你要是不喜歡生活奢靡花錢大手大腳的朋友們，就減少和他們一起出去玩的次數。

If you love skiing, go. But you don’t have to go to Aspen during Christmas week and stay at the St. Regis. Go off-peak, go for fewer days, and stay someplace cheaper - maybe with Starwood points.如果你喜歡滑雪，那就去吧。但沒必要在圣誕節期間去阿斯彭，還住瑞吉酒店。避開高峰時段，少待幾天，住便宜點的地方——你可以住在喜達屋酒店。

Stay at a cheap motel.住便宜的汽車旅館。

2. Shop ethnic supermarkets.2. 在民族特色超市購物。

Often much cheaper and you get to try exotic fruits and veggies, spices, etc.那里的東西通常要便宜得多，而且你可以嘗嘗異域風情的水果、蔬菜和調料啥的。

3. Make cooking and eating at home a joy. Spend more here so you eat out less.3. 享受在家烹飪在家吃飯，在家多待，出去吃就少了。

Eating at home is much cheaper than eating out. So do what you need to do to eat at home more often. Buy nicer silverware and plates. Buy marinated or precooked stuff to save time/hassle. Eat on paper plates or hire a housekeeper to do the dishes if you don’t like clean up.在家里吃要比下館子便宜得多，所以你得更經常在家里吃飯。買漂亮點的銀餐具和盤子，買腌好的或者預加工好的食物，這樣就可以節約時間，減少麻煩。如果你不喜歡清理，你可以就紙盤子吃飯或者雇一個勤雜工幫你洗碗。

4. Eat out less often and at cheaper, tastier places.4. 少去下館子，要去就去便宜好吃的店里吃。

Go for food, not ambience or service. Start with ethnic restaurants and diners. 沖著食物去，而不是沖著氛圍和服務去，可以從民族風情飯店和小餐館開始嘗試。

5. Live in a much smaller and cheaper place.5. 住在小點、便宜點的地方。

Not just because it’s cheaper. But because you’ll be with your loved one(s) more and you’ll accumulate less stuff. Don’t accumulate a bunch of stuff.并不只是因為那樣更便宜，還因為你可以有更多時間和你愛的人在一起，你東西不會堆積那么多。不要積累一大堆東西。
