Bottled beverages:
You don’t have to give up your favorite beverage completely. Just substitute half the amount you usually drink with tap water.
Food:

1. Mortgage underwater? Just walk away from it. Even academia says it’s OK. Move to the city and rent.

2. Unplug your cable.
The easiest way to kill the so-called news networks is to cut them off at their enablers.
3. Kill your landline.
If you have a cell account, you don’t need a landline, so they’re just jacking you for money.
4. Reacquire your wealth.
Withdraw any extra cash you have, close whatever extra accounts you have, and take it somewhere besides Bank of America, JP Morgan Chase or another bailout addict.
5. Pacify your portfolio.

7. Avoid CDs and DVDs
8. Stop buying bottled water, factory-farmed beef and new cars, especially hybrids.
9. Do not watch whiny bitches.
10. Start or join a third party.Read more at www.alternet.org
