This assumes you have means:
1. Live below your means. Food. Clothing. Shelter. That's it. And no, you don't NEED an LV or Chanel or whatever else is in fashion these days.
2. Food. Buy raw, whole foods. Cook at home. It's ok to enjoy a nice meal outside once a week to take a break from cooking. Limit alcoholic drinks to one each. Also don't buy soda at a restaurant. Drink at home.
3. In fact, cut soda, cut sugar as much as you can, except when it's in fruit, or a small amount to make food taste a bit better. Healthcare costs are in the top three of things that will send you to the poor house.
4. Downsize. You don't need that 4000 square foot house. (Garage maybe, since this is a car site.). Housing is also a huge expense.
5. Sleep on big purchases. Heck, sleep on non-essential purchases no matter how small. You only really need two pairs of jeans. One you wear and the other is in the laundry.
6. Buy things for life as much as you can.
I'm sure I'll think of more stuff.
