Stop spending my money on everything except for food and bills, so that I can buy at least three model Routemasters of different sizes, every year.

24) Rice and beans form a complete protein and a low cost meal. Remember there is
a hidden cost in most prepared foods you buy : high saturated fat, high sodium, trans fats

25) To save energy presoak beans over night. Discarding this water removes most the
gas producing carbohdrates. This reduces cooking time and saves energy.

26) Boiling water requires the least energy on the stove top, but keep a lid on boiling pot
to allow it to come to a boil faster and save energy.

29. Get rid of your debts to the education system. I don't know if that's possible in America, but I had over $40000 in loans for studying, which I didn't have to pay off due to my Asperger's.

8. Wear your underwear for 10 days in a row, turn it inside out, and wear for another ten days.

30. Then wear them back to front - 10 days inside out and 10 days outside in = total 40 days.

18. Better yet, start a proprietorship, open your own 401k through it, put the maximum allowable contribution, and then borrow from yourself at the prevailing interest rate

. You pay the interest back to yourself, not the bank!

33. You can lend me all your money and I'll invest it for you. The USA has a double tax treaty with Australia, tax is required to be withheld at 10% only and (I think) no further USA tax is payable. I know this really great company called Enron (Australia) Ltd. You can trust me. Cross my heart! :lol:

and don't worry that my mailing address is in the Caymans. :lol:

My student loan debt was a mere $8000 that I paid off(cheap state school).

34) Those 0 trans fats per serving you read on product in the US in fact are allowed
to use that 0 trans fat and still have 0.5 grams trans fat per serving. If you see
hydrogenated oils of any kind assume there is atleast 0.5 grams per serving(and
do not eat or buy the crap).

35. Don't be afraid to cut corners by taking your business to that nice doctor whose office doubles as his mode of transportation.
