  After stripping out a whole pile of junk I end up with: - move to a cheaper city - sell your car - borrow money - stop paying into your retirement fund - cut back on your landline - take on a roommate - cut back on your cell phone plan - reduce your cable service - sell stuff on ebay - cut down on your food bill And then, at the end: How can I spiff up my site when I have a lack of design skill and my budget is low? (32:05 and further down), text is here: http://www.startupsfortherestofus.com/episodes/episode-17-eleven-ways-to-make-ends-meet-while-starting-up http://www.startupsfortherestofus.com/episodes/episode-17-el... I hope I didn't miss anything and I hope I saved other people some time listing to this podcast or sifting the sand for these 'gems'.

    > stop paying into your retirement fund What is their reasoning for this point?

      "I’m 35 years old, and I’ve consistently contributed to retirement for the past 10 years, and so taking one year off at that point was not a catastrophic move for me. And 650 bucks a month added back into our budget was a huge deal. It allowed me to make a move earlier that I would have had to wait several months to do. Again, not something I would recommend doing forever, but it absolutely can work over the short-term."
