Pay Yourself to Use Household Items

Whatever you decide, each time you get into the car, that designated amount goes into your car fund and will help ensure that when your car needs repairs or needs to be replaced, you already have the money set aside for it.

A bonus is that the payment will likely decrease the amount you drive as you cut out driving that doesn't have a specific purpose. This can save you additional money on gas, wear and tear on the car and possibly even on car insurance.

TV:

Watching TV can cost you a million dollars, so you want to make sure that the TV programs you watch are well worth your time.

Set up a system where you have a base number of hours that you can watch TV each day or each week at no cost, then charge a fee for each hour over the allotted time.

This should reduce the number of hours that you sit in front of the TV, as well as free up time for you to do other things that are important to you.

In all likelihood, it will show that you are paying for a lot more TV than you actually need, which can bring down your cable bill.

The money collected can be used for such things as Tivo (so you can skip commercials and spend less time in front of the TV) and movie rentals as well as any hardware purchases that need to be made.
