Following the credit card thread, I've learned that some people use credit card points and miles to pay for hotels, that seems pretty interesting.

Children toys being second hands comes to mind too.

What are your ideas?

Start logging your entire budget. Then make an anonymous account, post your budget post your location. And ask people to help you review your budget. For suggestions.

Logging and transparency force yourself to look at patterns you may subconsciously ignore.

If you have a really trusted friend, ask them to be your pseudo accountant. And have them look at your expenses every month. This is a healthy form of feedback.
