Recently, I posted on our Facebook Page and asked people to share one thing they don’t pay for that many people do. I compiled the most-suggested ideas into this post in hopes it will inspire you with some ideas of ways you can simplify and save money.
Remember, though, that being intentional with your finances doesn’t mean you are miserly and miserable. If you pay for something on this list, that doesn’t mean you aren’t frugal or that you are failing. You get to choose where and how you spend your money. These are just ideas to get your creative wheels turning — especially if you are looking for ways to save more money.

We’ve had some situations where our attempt to fix something ourselves ended up costing us a lot more in the long-run. So be wise about whether you feel comfortable making the repair before starting!)
- Manicures/Pedicures — Kaitlynn taught herself how to do gel and dip manicures just by (again!) watching YouTube videos.

(By the way, you can also “cheat” and use something like Impress nails — which works surprisingly well!)
- TV Streaming Services (or cable) — You can often watch shows free online (such as through Tubi or Peacock). Yes, there are commercials, but free is…
