Yet, most of the ideas you give seem miserable to me! For example, I find things like making a batch of laundry detergent to be fun monfy I can get the kids involved with it, but I recognize that others might not enjoy such things. Collect together things you rarely use and will probably never use. Sell them off, give them away — just get rid of the clutter. Why do this? For one, it makes your home less cluttered and more enjoyable. This ho your monthly debt payments and helps you get rid of entire debts more quickly.
