Lend and borrow
贈送與索取
Give books and clothes and toys you don't need anymore to your friends and family.
把你不再需要的書籍、衣服和玩具送給你的朋友和家人，
If you need something, send out an e-mail asking if anyone has it. Chances are, they'll give it to you for free if they don't use it anymore.
而當你需要什么東西時，就發封郵件詢問誰有。你會發現，如果他們正好有而且再也用不著的話，他們會免費送你所需要的東西。
Barter
一物換一物
It's a lost art, but lots of people will take your services or goods instead of money, especially if you're friends or at least know each other.
這是一項失傳的藝術。也許很多人交換的將是你的服務或商品而不是金錢，特別是你的朋友，或者認識的人。
Get into the habit of offering to barter, and you'll find yourself saving a lot of money.
你會發現，以貨易貨的習慣能為你省一大筆錢。
Use online savings
使用在線儲蓄
I use Emigrant Direct, but ING Direct is also popular, as are a bunch of other online banks. Not only do you earn twice the interest of a normal bank savings account.
我用的是移民公司的在線儲蓄服務，但ING公司（荷蘭在線銀行）的也很受歡迎，此外還有其他很多在線銀行。你不僅可以得到幾乎兩倍于普通銀行存款的利息，
but if you don't get the ATM account it's not as easy to withdraw money... making it less likely that you'll get money out on an impulse.
還可以避免因一時沖動而亂取錢花——因為如果你不開設ATM賬戶，取錢就很費勁，那么你就不那么輕易花錢了。
