Ask
for donations - have no shame, just beg for money. Especially
if you have a worthy cause (like veterinary care for a cat
that you saved from the streets). You can even set up an account
with Paypal for this purpose, and accept credit card payments from
philanthropists worldwide. Just go to www.paypal.com and click on
"free merchant tools" (never click on a link to Paypal
- always type the address in your browser to avoid phishing scams)

food - how to eat like a king and be stingy at the same time
- Complain
about everything - get your money back (or at least get free movie
tickets) if you feel you've been wronged

Costco
or Sam's Club
for all of your shopping needs- you can save money by buying
everything in massive quantities, and if you don't own a car, having

- Getting
free stuff - the art of scoring swag. Also getting into clubs and
movies for free, eating and drinking for free, even skiing for free.
Everything is better when it's free!

Modeling
- before I become America's Next Top Model I'll have to grow six
inches, lose 100 lbs, and get major cosmetic surgery. But until
that happens, I've actually made a few bucks being a token Asian
or some generic girl in stock photography
-
Student
discounts - put that student ID to good use, even if
it's expired or it's not even yours

- legitimate ways to ride the T for free, and alternatives to public
transportation or owning a car
