- See if it's possible to change your work
schedule to better fit your life. Examples include:
-Change to a 4(10-hour) day work week instead of working a 5 (8-hour) day
work week.
-See if your company will let you telecommute from home 1 or 2 days per
week.
These small changes will save time, money, and stress due to reduced
travel expenses, travel time, and reduced traffic hassles.

- Use public transportation, if possible, to
get to and from work. Not only will you be able to relax on the way to and
from work but will save money in gas and car maintenance costs. Moreover,
you can use this time for more enjoyable pursuits like reading.

- Seek to do only work that you love. If it
doesn't interest you or make you happy, then it is time for an occupation
change.

- Use all of your company's benefits.
If the company pays for bus fare, use it. Think of the savings in travel
expenses. If your company has a gym, use it, instead of paying for a gym
membership elsewhere.

- Don't be afraid to turn your hobby into a
small side business. Benefits include, making money doing what you love to
do anyway, tax savings available only to business owners, and the
