I definitely agree with much of what you said (I'm a huge camry hybrid fan), including cooking your own food and analyzing your spending. Once I began tracking every penny that goes in and out of my account, I was able to identify and eliminate drains on my account that I either wasn't using or could easily do without.

But I just recently bought a camry Hybrid, and now estimate that I'm saving about $100/month on gas expenses! So if you have to buy new definitely consider hybrid. At least you can save some dough on gas, and they have excellent resale value so buying new suddenly doesn't look so bad after all.

I agree,also you can use IVA( Individual Voluntary Agrrangements). It provides a viable alternative to bankruptcy and is therefore for those individuals that really cannot afford to pay off existing debts any longer. An IVA can help because it is a proposal that is sent to all of an individual’s creditors offering a settlement over a period of five years or so. After that period, the debt is settled. “If you can’t pay off your balance, find the lowest rate that you qualify for and move the debt to that lower rate.” I agree,also you can use IVA( Individual Voluntary Agrrangements).

I realized the significance of not eating out every night, not buying a drink at every gas station and not buying ridiculous items all the time when we were on a strict budget. I wish I realized these things earlier and read this post when I was a teenager. Great advice - as usual!
