Everything is so DARN expensive and with costs rising I'm sure we are all looking for ways to SAVE. Financial debt can wear and tear at our health. Debt can cost us our health and we need to do something about it before we get so stressed we become unable to take control of our finances. I know how it is to be struggling day to day to make money and not have it all go to BILLS BILLS BILLS. Do you have medical bills that are long over due, is your house in foreclosure, do you want to put some savings in the bank for retirement, do you have children and want to provide them with a future that allows them to go to college? I know how you feel! You are not alone!
Here are some ideas I came up with to help you save some money to take off some of the financial burdens you may be dealing with. Every little bit counts and it CAN add up, you JUST have to stick to it and you may just find your self a little less stressed out.
#1 UNPLUG YOUR OUTLETS! WHEN YOUR DONE USING THE TOASTER OR MICROWAVE.....UNPLUG IT. WHEN YOUR NOT WATCHING TV, UNPLUG IT! WHEN YOUR NOT USING THE COMPUTER OR THE CELL PHONE CHARGER....UNPLUG IT. CATCH MY DRIFT? YOU WILL SAVE MONEY THIS WAY. EVERYTHING YOU LEAVE PLUGGED IN WILL TAKE UP SOME ELECTRICITY AND IT WILL COST YOU.
#2) KEEP YOUR MEDICAL RECORDS ORGANIZED AND SAFE! IF YOU DON'T, THERE IS A CHANCE YOU COULD GET BILLED AGAIN, MAYBE A COUPLE YEARS LATER, MAYBE FOR MORE MONEY-MEDICAL PROVIDERS DO MAKE MISTAKES!SO, IF YOU DON'T PAY ATTENTION....YOU COULD END UP PAYING MORE THAN YOU NEED TO.
3)THE SAME GOES FOR ALL BILLS: MAKE SURE YOUR NOT BEING OVERCHARGED!
#4) GET A CELL PHONE FAMILY PLAN, DUMP THE TELEPHONE LINE YOU HAVE!(THATS ANOTHER ENERGY SAVER)
#5)CLIP OUT ALL THE COUPONS YOU CAN AND USE THEM...THEY WILL SAVE YOU MONEY IN THE LONG RUN.
#6) IF YOU REALLY NEED TO GO APPAREL SHOPPING:LOOK OUT FOR THE SALES...YOU WILL BE HAPPY YOU WAITED FOR THE SALE! SHOES ON SALE FOR $20? OR SHOES AT REG.PRICE AT $50? YOU DECIDE!!!!!
#7) TALK TO YOUR DEBT COLLECTORS:THEY WILL WORK SOMETHING OUT WITH YOU.
#8) TO SAVE ON GAS: CAR POOL. ALSO: PICK ONE DAY OUT OF THE WEEK TO BE YOUR BANK,GROCERY AND ERRANDS DAY! RATHER THAN RUNNING HERE AND THERE ALL WEEK LONG!!
#9) DO YOU PAY FOR AN EMAIL ACCOUNT?WHY? WHEN YOU CAN HAVE ONE FOR FREE (GMAIL AND YAHOO)*
