It really helps to be handy when your dedicated to saving money. If you can repair your own equipment or do your own maintenance you get to keep your money away from the repair men and sales people.
One of the most important things is home maintenance and improvement. The only problem is building up the confidence to actually do the job. I was raised doing odd jobs around the house with my father. He was very good with his hands and was always working on something. While I am comfortable with a saw and hammer I used to hesitate before getting into any bigger than painting or minor adjustments. I was always scared of getting in over my had or being the guy who had to call for help halfway though the job. Then I came across this book, "Home Improvement Tips, Techniques and Ideas Guide" It is a great book with a real easy to use format. Its like having my father around to ask questions.
