Living frugally on your 6-figure salary at Northwest Airlines

This is in response to the recently publicized tips on living with a smaller paycheck given to Northwest Airlines flight attendants by management. The tips included things like going through your neighbors' garbage.

Just a sample From Brain Dickerson of the Detroit Free Press:

? Energy-smart appliances pay. Over the course of a year, a cappuccino or espresso maker equipped with automatic shutoff can save savvy homeowners enough money to pay for another premium cable channel.

Get your kids involved. If your teenage son wants a new SUV, insist that he pay for at least a portion of the new vehicle's satellite radio service.

? Disconnecting towel heaters and bathroom floor warmers during the summer months can keep energy bills down without perceptible discomfort.
