We watch our health more closely. I try to think ahead more, take a little more time to do things right and I no-longer do things in a ways that could end with broken parts or a doctor's visit.
We always ask the doctor if there is a generic equivalent for a prescription.
Minimized or elliminated broker fees on investments. Monitor investments and update them. Check and compare annual fees on mutual funds closely and then watch them. Steered clear of funds that often invest in other funds (double fees that are rarely disclosed).
Combined vehicle trips for less driving and vehicle maintenace.
We eat-out less. We prepare more food at home and buy fewer pre-packaged foods (often the quality is as-good or better). Bought a popcorn popper (Stir-Crazy) and replaced some snacks and chips with popcorn. Clip grocery coupons for the things we use. Try house brands, many are identical to name-brands at 75% of the cost, a few are not as good.

Lemonade, iced tea or powdered drink mixes instead of sodas. Mixed drinks instead of beer and wine.
I do more cross-country sking now instead of snowmobiling.
Hunt less, fish more. Travel less.

Well, when our family moved to our 20 acre site near New Prague, Minnesota, I had one thought in mind. You guessed it, farm it somehow. A little history is in order. In my younger days, mom, dad and my brother made frequent visits to dad's youngest brother Pete, who took over the home farm from grandpa MIke. It was the typical set-up, milk cows, pigs & chickens. In the winter, we'd play
