Attacking the debt with the highest interest is the best thing possible to do! Though there are a ton of methods to solving debt and they have to be adapted to the individual. There are companies like this one that can help people solve their problems.

We just went tent camping last week and took our little one (13 months) for the first time. He had a blast. The only problem was that it was very hot (mid-90s) so we spent a little less active time than we liked, though we did have lake access which made it tolerable.
I love camping ... it's a great way to bond with friends or family. I love cooking over the fire, and I love camping where I can rock climb outside instead of just in a gym.
I love this list, thanks for taking the time to put it together. :o) I used to stay away from the produce section, I just thought things were too expensive. Over the past few years, I have really made an effort to change the way we eat and I realize that eating healthy is eating cheap!! :o)
My friends and I camp twice a year at different parks around the state. It's easy to keep costs down because between 15-20 people, everyone has what you need. My husband and I were really wanting one of those screen tents to put over the picnic tables but then two other couples bought them so now if it rains, we're covered! We're known for cooking way more food than we need and so we share it with others. Forgot the mustard? No problem. Someone else has it. It's great because it always feels like we take lots of vacations, go lots of different places and all for around $12 a night and a few groceries.
My fiancé and I go camping several times every summer. In fact, we are planning a camping wedding weekend. Yes, you read that correctly. We are making our loved ones go camping with us if they want to attend our wedding. Tent camping can be really cheap, especially if you have people to split the costs with. And I always hit up the library before I go so that I will have plenty of free reading material for entertainment.
Camping is great. Best way to make it an amazing experience is to have activities or foods that are special for camping: hobo dinners, hikes, scavenger hunts, smores, etc. It makes camping something everyone looks forward to.
I have been camping 3 times this summer already! We always bring a big cooler full of ice and water instead of buying bottled water! Keep the cooler in the shade and it will stay iced water for your whole trip!
My husband and I enjoy backpacking together. Instead of buying expensive pre-packaged foods, we prepare our own lightweight meals. For example, instead of buying packets of instant oatmeal we buy a big canister and re-package it in plastic baggies with dried milk and dried fruit.
Great list here. Some seasonal things are decent too. Pitted fruit like nectarines, peaches, apricots and plums are usually under $1.00 as are some grapes. Nice too add some variety.
I haven't been camping for a few years, but went a lot when my daughters were smaller. We saved money by buying groceries ahead of time and cooking most of our food over the campfire.
I've only been tent camping once, and it was okay. But my grandparents have a cabin in the mountains, and we grew up going there every summer. It's not roughing it, there's indoor plumbing, beds, and electricity, but you're still in the middle of a beautiful natural setting, and gives us an opportunity to relax together as a family.
I love camping! It gives our family a chance to reconnect without all the electronics and "things." We play games, go for hikes, and enjoy each other's company. We don't spend much money, just gas to get where we are going, and food for the trip. We often go with friends and food-share so we can make large meals for everyone and have little waste.
Cool list. Though not available in all stores, soy beans that you can purchase by the bag (scooping them from a large bin) are usually less than a buck per pound. Whole Foods is the market that comes to my mind, in the section where all the nuts, beans, and dried Most stores only sell them in pre-made packages, and I think they cost more than a buck.
I LOVE tent camping, more specifically backpacking but don't get to do it as much as I'd like. It's significantly less expensive than hotels, gives me an opportunity to commune with nature, escape fast-paced city life and reaffirm how little value material items have toward my quality of life.
Thanks for the advice!
It's funny that you mentioned the volatility. I was just reading an article that explained that the volatility does not impact long term investments that much. So, if you have time to invest and not sell more than 20% of your investments in say, the next five years, you should be safer.

The truth is that when you are content about your life (job, family, friends, and what not), you aren't as concerned about "stuff". It's not whether you can withstand the frustration at that point, because you will likely not be too stressed out about wanting to buy this and that.

Sounds delicious! A lot of these foods are necessities in the kitchen. Great way to save. Thank you for this!

Witch Hazel is NOT toxic unless the mixture you buy has alcohol in it. The isopropyl alcohol is what is toxic.
