The Times Wants Your Tweets

As part of its Recession coverage, the New York Times is collecting survival tips from readers (for ordinary people, not for the newspaper itself). Some of the submissions we like:

Save on babysitting…start sleepover-pooling with other friends with kids.  (sd, NYC)

Students: Don’t buy your textbooks on campus or even in a bookstore. You can easily find used copies online for much cheaper. Amazon, etc. (dcap, Brooklyn, NY)

Slow your life down and for some reason the money doesn’t flow out so fast.  (Martha, Vermont)

To submit your own, go to the Survival Strategies page, or simply include #nytstrategies in a tweet. (You can also vote for the ones you like.)
