Everyone knows the classics. Only use cash (eh). Wait 30 days before making a purchase to see if the impulse wears off. Track your expenses. Save X% of your paycheque. But what are some more interesting ones?

That's actually really interesting, I like it. I'm trying to brainstorm areas where I've neglected to consider associated costs. Probably cooking for me? I have a strong tendency to get culinary inspiration and drop way more cash than I intended on all the things I didn't realize I would need.
