Champion cheapskates live better on less (less is more). That means they live well within their means. They manage their budgets effectively, both assets and liabilities.

Try the ABC's for starters:

• Always take advantage of what's on-hand
• Be creative
• Create and use homemade and handmade items. Why buy?
• Do-it-yourself (fix, refinish, renew, recycle)
• Enlist the 5 R's
• Find and use yard sales, auctions, buyers clubs and flea markets
• Go for bargains, but buy only what you need. Follow this rule: If you don't need it, don't buy it. Shop smart!
• Heads up. Think before you act. Be positive too
• Imagine you are happy! Raise your spirits. Lift your mood
• Joy to the world. Relax and enjoy life

Why Buy? Why buy if you don't have to? When you have something, use it! Check your closets, basement, attic, storage areas, etc. That’s right, keep your hard earned money! Have more money for yourself and loved ones. Save money on clothes, shoes, food, office supplies, and other items, even those given as gifts (think ahead now). Why not cash in on old "outdated" items sitting in a dusty crate, especially the things you never got around to using or opening? They may be red hot now. Yes, use your overlooked, long forgotten and unopened gems. Create something new such as homemade and handmade items, out of them. Also, they may make great gifts (unopened, unused) and hand-me downs or ups – a little cleaning, restoration or repair can do wonders. When you must buy check prices carefully and use your common sense. Avoid problems like debt by buying only what you need and using what you already have. Learn how to travel for less. Always look for ways to save and seek out buying tips. Finally, don't forget to simplify your life and the way you work.
