My grandma turned 91 this year. She’s seen quite a lot in her lifetime. She grew up during the Depression, and nearly every family she knew, including her own, had a father out of work. Finally, after President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the New Deal, her father got work painting the fire hydrants in the town. She still remembers how proud he was to have a job to do. She was in high school during World War II, and shortages of food were common. After the war, she married a schoolteacher, and they spent the summers working second jobs at a camp and gradually building a cabin our family still uses today. In short, she’s a pretty smart lady who’s taught me a ton about saving money and living well.
Here are the best money-saving tips I learned from my grandma. Some are genius, some might be a little eccentric-all of them are worth a try.
