Easy ways to save money and pay bills for a first time apartment owner?

I could tell you how to be frugal like me.

How to save the money you have: Stay away from cigarettes! use cantines instead of buying waterbottles or sodas, try to eat at buffets instead of restaraunts, shop for clothes & furniture at discount stores, use spiral bulbs instead of regular bulbs, when you buy a car buy a small efficient one instead of a truck or SUV, & if you ever build your own house order white roofing instead of the usual dark. Another somewhat frugal habit is using progressive grammar like me (ex & instead of and, 2 instead of two) when you're writing papers instead of writing everything out.

How to make a little money: Collect cans & other scrap metals & take it up to your local metal recycling place that pays you. If you have any books or DVDs you don't want anymore sell them to Half Priced Books (but you have to have a drivers license to get paid). When you pass by vending machines look in the coin slots for coins. In my experience 1/10 of them have coins.

If you're a kid & some of this doesn't apply to you, saving on electricity still saves your parents money.

I believe that this world would be a much better place if everybody was frugal & I hope I am helping people by answering these questions. If you don't wanna pick me as best answer then please let me know if my advice has helped you.

Well, you can split the bills in half 50-50, no....50-50 on everything because if you do it alone you're gonna end up being butt hurt, no money, have friction in the house and probably hate each other forever and a day.
