I admit it: I'm kind of a cheapskate. Which is a good thing now that I'm freelancing full time. I recently contributed a post called 7 Ways to be a Frugal Freelancer to Freelance Switch. Here are some more tips that didn't quite make the cut:
- Hang out with frugal friends. They'll be more likely to understand why you can't split an expensive bottle of wine or spend the weekend at a fancy resort.
- Check out books and movies from the library instead of buying.
- Volunteer as a hair model and get your hair cut or styled for free.
- Find out when your local museum has a free night and time your trip accordingly.
- Make lunch at home and reheat the leftovers for dinner.
- If you must eat out, take advantage of happy hour specials.
Well to Freelance Switch readers! How do you keep your spending in check?
