Lowering the costs of living

There's a few things I like. Reading comics, figuring out solutions to problems.
I used to buy comics (Foxtrot, Calvin & Hobbes, Dilbert) but recently, I've figured out a better alternative. I borrow them from libraries. Given that it's always a hit-and-miss issue when I visit the library, hell, I've decided to reserve comic books from the library instead.
Reserving books from the library at a cost of $1.55 per book saves me time from going down to the library and getting a hit-and-miss result.
I'm becoming more and more of a Jason Fox every day. I'm looking at a beauty. The AMD Athlon X2 4800+ is definitely it. It's the top of the range right now. Been hunting around eBay looking for it. Buying straight from shops in Singapore costs more than getting it shipped to my address from eBay.
So, these are ways of lowering the costs of living.
