Mr. Tightwad's Extremely Hardcore Tips on Saving Money Conclusion

41)Don't Let the Calendar Dictate Your Life : People are a slave to that darn piece of paper with all those foolish holidays that over time we have commercialized. For example, look at Easter it's nothing but another lousy excuse to buy even more candy. Thanksgiving, a way to really kill your grocery budget all based on some oversized pigeon or whatever you want to call it. New Year's Eve a chance to rent a tuxedo and wake up in it the next day with the worst hangover in your lifetime. So on and so forth, etc.
42)Don Some Earplugs at Loud Events : I don't know of any male models who wear those visible hearing aids that you can see. But unless you don't want to end up with retooling and retuning your hearing aids and don't consider yourself to be as pretty as one of the former Miss. Americas then a little prevention goes a long way. It will be 1 less medical bill for later on in life as we get old and gray.
43)Boycott your City Ice Cream Truck : Spring and summer are nice seasons except for those idiot ice cream trucks that play 1 song over-and-over. Besides they are nothing but a super rip-off vending machine on wheels that charge at least a lousy buck for a nugget size of ice cream. Where as you could save that so-called tiny buck for $1 draft night at your local tavern/bar, one of those 2 liter bottles of soda, and/or one of those .99 specials at certain fast food chains. Who knows if lady luck goes your way Mr. Ice Cream man may never come back to your neighborhood ever again and give you a seizure with that very tortureous rotten music.
44)Boycott the Lights : Why would you want to spend lots of time hanging up a bunch of lights that will just kill your December electric bill. Besides if you hang up too much people who have a Christmas light fetish will keep cruising by your house time-and-time again. If untangling a bunch of tedious lights, unsorting them, and repacking them up a month later is your gig then ignore this tip.
45)Wrap Frugally : Just because some dumb store is selling pretty looking Christmas wrapping paper doesn't mean you have to use it. It's too expensive compared to using newspaper and/or the paper material used to bag groceries. Besides you'll make the environmental whackos happy knowing that your recycling newspaper/grocery bags in a new way.
46)Don't Buy Birthday Presents/Christmas Gifts : We could all learn a lesson in knowing that you don't need to buy a bunch of materials to make the other person happy. The best gift is the gift of friendship and/or being a happy knit and close family. Besides the other person will feel obligated to buy you a gift thereby making your wallet shrink by the second. Most importantly, how would Jesus feel knowing that December 25 is more of a gift exchanging day and not a celebration of His life.
47)Don't Get Suckered in by the Smell : Real Christmas trees do smell nice I admit but! One, you have to water them constantly. Two, you have to guard your tree like Fort Knox making sure it doesn't catch on fire. Three, your going to trash the sucker anyway. Four, vacuuming and/or picking up the pine needles is a royal nightmare if you put it on your carpet. Summary, if you like to water dead plants, want to buy a new house in January, trash a dead plant, and destroy your Hoover or whatever you use then go ahead and buy a real tree.
48)Live in a City/Town that Strongly Enforces Driving Speed : I don't know about where you live but up here in Maine everybody is in a rush to get nowhere. There ain't nothing to see and/or do up here in this pine tree state. With those OPEC dudes jacking up oil prices it ain't worth it. Speeding just waste gas and doing the speed limit could save some gas in the long run. Besides you'll make towns like Scarborough happy knowing that you contributed towards their city taxes just for speeding.
49)Don't Live in a Place that has Cobblestone Roads : If you don't want to ruin the underframe part of your car stay away from these 1600 to 1700 A.D. wannabee colonial/historical towns/cities. These roads can ruin a good pair of high heels and/or break your ankle/leg. Those city/town council idiots should realize that were not living in the 15 and/or 16 century and realize were in a space odyssey. Besides I bet those snow plows hate to plow those roads with a passion.
50)Don't Live in Some Town and/or City That's Too Anal about Parking Laws : Unless you plan on commuting to work and/or school on a bicycle or walking to your destination then ignore this tip. Some city governments have a massive fetish about making money through some Barbara Streisand scheme. For example, those evil parking meters that you have to feed every 90 minutes or whatever. Cramped up parking lots where you really have to go 1 mph to avoid some jackass from pulling out too fast and smashing your and their car at the same time. Those trailer park trash city councils members can keep their stupid parking meters and garages and only let dust rest on or in them.
