The main thing I've done is pay off all of my credit card and loan debt. That has really freed up a lot of cash flow. Also, I'm on a budget and only purchase things with cash. I put a huge chunck of my salary into a savings account each month and am trying to save up six month's worth of expenses to safeguard for the future. I hope to have the emergency fund completed by the end of the year if all goes well.
I clip coupons too and save money this way.
