Saving your way into the fastlane?

[yveskleinsky]

I've read several posts on several websites that espouse the value of reducing expenses as part of the way to get into the fastlane. It seems to me that if I were to try to accumulate $10k (for example) by reducing expenses -that is not very fastlane. Wouldn't I be better off trying to figure out how to better use OPM to get the $10k instead of waiting x number of months to save it through going without? ...Just curious to see what those in the real know have done, are doing and would recommend.
