Earn more money.
As arrogant as it sounds, my mantra has always been to earn more money. Especially in today's market, it's possible. Just look at your website skills.

I've been watching the world of economics and the attitude people have towards their lives and careers and it's genuinely made me realise what a mug I am for sucking on the corporate teet for so long, getting paid as little as my company can get away with paying me.
I'll likely start my own business in the next year or two, but in the mean time, I'm doing loads of little odd jobs for other folks which earns me enough to cover this anticipated increase and then some.
