EXAMPLE: If you must operate using credit cards, then heed this WARNING: Store Credit Cards can cost you up to twice as much.

EXAMPLE: If you suddenly wake up one day to find yourself out of a job and standing in a cash-draining canyon with the floor falling out from under your feet, like we did, here’s a hint: Dump your landline phone, your cell phone, cable TV and E-mail providers in favor of one cheaper point of access for all. We still make and get calls. We still watch our favorite programs. This smart adaptation worked for us when we wanted to save $7,500 in 5 years (in hindsight, it goes by in a blink of an eye). If it worked for us, maybe it’ll work for you.

You simply have to see things as they are. There is no Magic Lever. There is no Easy Button. Not unless you make your own. Here are a few ideas how to do that, if you like.

So, let’s begin anew, on our own path to our own destiny. Those who adapt will survive. I’m living proof of that. Tweet me, if you like @SusanSuddenly.

Until then, here’s wishing you all the best in reaching your version of being suddenly frugal and suddenly smart.
