Yesterday, we asked you, the economically astute people slacking off at work, how Britain could save some money, lest it be mired in pauperdom for "generations." We've culled hundreds of comments into five ideas that could work. Pay attention, Brits.

5. Tax the British ex-pats living abroad. This was a serious suggestion noted by several commenters. It would actually bring in cash. This is not a joke.

4. Quit paying for a useless monarchy. Also suggested by multiple commenters. This is a good one!

3. "Get rid of all the extra 'u's in words, which will save time when typing and ink for printing.
glamour
humour
colour
flavour
honour
It's such an unsavoury behaviour."

2. "Sell Wales."

1. "Use teabags twice."
