I figure as I do more Frugal Experiments I should make a quick resource so that visitors can quickly reference what frugal ideas or services I have tried and also get an idea on great resources or services that I enjoy.

Items or Services that I use

Aio Wireless (Now Cricket) – Idea from Dividend Mantra

Lake Michigan Credit Union Checking (3% Interest)

Fermentation of Beverages – From Mr. Money Mustache

Cutting my own hair with a  set similar to this:

More to come here as I explore new frugal things and try ideas from others!

Books I Enjoyed

 

The Snowball – Book Review to come

Your Money or Your Life

A great book that outlines the basics of financial independence and how all money really truly is time.

 The Millionaire Next Door

This book is more research based on how actual millionaires lived and acquired their wealth.  The thing is most millionaires look like average people where most people who live the perceived rich life are broke.

A Random Walk Down Wall Street

For the most part the markets act in an efficient manner in the long term.  This is why index investing is often encouraged and suggested.  I would not personally advocate for you to invest any other way.  I choose dividend stocks for much the same reason someone would choose an individual rental property.  I want the secure passive income, not because I am trying to beat the market.
