Here are some ways to save money. If you have a car, sell it. If you "must" have a car, I doubt that. If you lack good bus service where you live, move to where the service is better. Rather than use professional movers, see if your friends can get together and move you. I think vegetarians can live cheaper than meat eaters. The last time I ate any meat was back in the 70s. I don't miss it one bit.
