Look around your home for sources of income; such as, sell your books on AmazonMarketplace. Sell some of your stash. Clean out the Attic, Garage, basement, kitchen cupboards, and have a yard sale. Eat down the excess amounts of foodstuffs that you are storing, cereals, frozen foods, cans. Clean out your wardrobe. Value the empty space more than you value the items you don't currently use. Every time you put one idea to work; more ideas will flow in to you. Try the "half" strategy: use half as much laundry soap per load; cut each dryer sheet in half. Use one drop of dish soap on your sponge/dishrag at a time. Hair conditioner? Half as much. And your water bill? Monitor your family activities to see where you can reduce. Do a handwash once a week, rather than use the machine.
