Keep in mind #7. If you don’t have your health the rest of your life can be an incredibly hard endeavor. Talk to your grandparents and ask them what they wish they had done more of, or sooner during their life. Some will say that they could have saved more money, but most will have a comment on their health or lack therof.
Thanks

Is it just me, or are there only 11 tips instead of 12?

Nice! Yeah, we could probably only fit a 1/4 cow in our deep freezer, if we wanted to. I think the 1/8 cow is going to be enough for two of us for a full year.

@ Andrew,
We actually buy a full cow once a year with my parents. It feeds the 8 of us :-D

The only downside is that you need to have a huge freezer!

Another option related to #1 (if you like meat) is to buy a portion of a cow up front. Sounds funny, I know, but we went in with friends to buy 1/8 of a cow and it will feed the two of us for a year. At an average of $3/pound, we’re getting premium cuts for a fraction of the price.
