buying & shopping less
Sounds like a no-brainer, but analyzing your shopping & spending habits can help you save BIG. In fact, it can literally change your life, and it can have a big impact on your carbon footprint. The old adage: "Use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without" is gaining popularity again with a new generation that wants to save big now to enjoy life more now, rather than waiting until retirement. Maybe you don't need a daily latte and new clothes every month. Maybe that money could go into savings or investments instead. The idea is to spend more intentionally. Spend only on those things that are really important to you. Being a more conscious consumer is good for the environment, too.
