I so agree with the sunscreen one! Such a simple fix with such lasting health benefits. All the others we have been pounded as children to follow, such a simple list yet important reminders for everyday health!

Sunscreen isn't that great of an idea. It can give you cancer (see the EWG's report on this) and your body needs the Vitamin D that the sun's rays can produce.

Kinda related to exercising is eating right. That should keep doctor's visits to a minimum, help fight off many illnesses, help you sleep better, and is usually cheaper than eating junk food.

Great post!

Plan potlucks w/ ur friends, so everyone contributes while not spending a whole lot of $$!

Buy things that you really must have… or can't live without. If you stop and ask yourself, do I really need this? or will I use it for a while? etc. etc. Also shop for quality though it may cost more it will probably last you longer.

I wish they'd given me this list when I graduated from High School. I just had four fillings, it hurt more in the wallet than in the mouth… Needless to say my oral hygien is impecable now!

Carry a water bottle and drink water. It's healthier and saves you hundreds every year.

ABSOLUTELY!

I'd like to add:

6. Learn how to make great meals at home, on the cheap

Going to a restaurant shouldn't be a everyday or even a weekly thing — it loses its charm pretty darn quick.
Cooking at home makes you really appreciate it when you do go out. Plus it's healthier..

Great post. I think a key theme here is the idea of taking care of yourself. You spend a little bit on important things like sunscreen and dental care now and you won't spend a ton later to fix problems. Preventative medicine and spending. I lik it.

Your post highlights a convenient way of saving money .All habits that you declared to save money is not that tough .The habits like to skip smoking is the best way to save money .Suppose you spend $2.23 per day on cigarette and now calculate for month so u spent approx $60 per month and in an year you spend $750. So it's an big amount to save .and now calculate for others .u can save more than $1500 in a year.

I just bought a silver piggy bank from Target so now I have one place to keep all my change. I had one professor who has a big wooden chest (like a treasure chest from Pirates of the Caribbean) in his living room FILLED with pennies. It looks like a chest of gold.

I like this list! You know what's interesting? These are ALL things that my parents taught me to do while growing up. And I can't thank them enough for instilling these habits into me! Plus, cooking at home. Like others have said… it's healthy, cheaper AND a great skill to have!
