Wasteful to rich (er)

I'm 30-something,  earn a decent wage, and until this year, I was unable to save a single red cent.  Not knowing what I was doing with my money, I made a few simple changes and have saved $20 000 so far this year.  The one rule about my money saving campaign was that I was not allowed to lower my standard of living or miss out on anything I currently enjoyed in life in order to save money.  It was all about simply not wasting as much money.  I hope to share some of these easy money saving strategies in this blog so that other money wasters might be able to change some of their ways!
