What’s a simple thing you could do to save money, but are unwilling (or unable) to put to practice?

You know that bit about bringing your own coffee to work instead of buy the SBux brand that can save you hundreds of dollars a year? Yeah. I don't drink coffee, so that tip really doesn't work for me.
Something I really *should* do is get one of the high-interest savings accounts. It's very simple to set up, I'm sure, I just need to get a round tuit.
Quite a few of my younger relatives have been doing fantastic things in their lives and living through some tough times, and I am jealous, even of the awful events. I want what they have. I want to be engaged, to have a house, to move around the country, to write something (anything) and have it published by something that is not a print on demand publisher. I think, they're younger than me, what am I doing wrong? I feel like I should have done it first. Stupid, I know, but that's how it is. I used to be first in so much, then I got into college where everyone was first, and I fell behind. I'm status quo. I work and I think of how someday I could be more. I think about finishing a story and have to date never really done it. Everyone sounds suitably impressed when they find out what I do, but if they had to sit through a day...no one needs a college degree to do my job. I'm not even taking classes, because it's 'taking time from my writing.' Someone call ballocks on me.
I get all motivated for a while and then it just disappears. I have big events, sure. But I guess not the ones I really want. I support myself, I have a great boyfriend, a reliable means of transportation and parents that love me, but I feel like more, and I don't see how I'm going to get it.
And it's sad to find out how much I don't know about my family. We used to be so close. I'm the only one that never left.
stupid, to make myself feel this way. Guess I need to keep working on the novel. (I am perilously close to not being able to say the novel. I have three unfinished NaNoWriMo manuscripts, which must, to satisfy my anal self, be finished, one day. One day.) No day but today.
