Great advice on starting your own business, to start small and keep your day job until it gets going.
Under "saving money hacks", cutting back from dining out 5 nights a week to 3 shocked me. I maybe dine out 2-3 times a month. Cooking at home is a HUGE money saver. You can host a dinner party for half a dozen friends for less than a mediocre restaurant meal for two.
