    What are your frugal and sustainable tips and tricks?

    What is your time worth, per hour? Is it more than $3.35 (117/35, rounding up the partial cent)? I would hope so. I have traveled long distance (Grand Rapids, MI to Seattle, WA) by train. By myself, so no one to talk to. Let me tell you, Nebraska is BORING on a train. I was not in a sleeper...

    It takes the threat of people coming over to make us clean up the house to the presentability stage. Even though these are close friends, they WILL NOT see the basement. They WILL NOT see the "other room" upstairs. :lau :lau :lau :lau

    What are your frugal and sustainable tips and tricks?
