There are more, but that selection covers virtually everything you'd run into.

Learn to do things yourself. There will be many things you will need to have done to your home over the course of you owning it. You will save tons of money by doing work yourself. Simple things like swapping out an electrical outlet will take you 10 minutes and cost you less than $5. Calling an electrician on the other hand will cost you at least $100. Plumbing is my favorite. There is so much to be saved with doing your own plumbing.

I recommend this for any aspiring DIY'er:
