I’m with Savvy Saver. Get someone else to do it! I’m sure when your 4 boys are old enough, you have your own landscaping crew for the neighborhood! That’s one way to pay for college. LOL!

I’m smarter than all of you… we have a push mower and my husband mows the yard

And, yes, I am smarter than those folks on Today.

42 acres!

Ha!

I’m terrible with this sort of thing but I’d guess the mowable part (I have woods too, but you’re not interested in that I’m sure) is 1/4 to 1/2 an acre.

I do all that money saving stuff, but I still don’t have enough money for a plasma screen…or a John Deere. What Would Matt Lauer Do?

Wow! You should be on the Today Show! You’re even smarter than they are!

(Just out of curiosity, how big is your yard?)

Here’s some better advice:

1. Cut your grass with a cheaper (push) mower. Most people can use the exercise.

2. Forget the new TV — the old one works fine.

3. And while you’re at it, cut the cable. Use an antenna.

Invest what you save and you’re a billionaire in something like four years.
