saving money

-----THE GARDEN GNOME


The best way to save money is to stop spending it. Every time you want to buy something, First look at your money or your card or checkbook and ask yourself, "Do I really need this enough to spend my money on it?"

Look at all of your bills and try to trim the fat. If you don't really need some service or whatever each bill represents- drop it.

For instance why buy newspapers? You can get all that info online or if you need the want ads get the free paper. Who wants all that bad news crammed into their brains every day. If we go to war, someone will tell you. No more piles of read papers all over the floor, no more trash containers packed full of newspapers. No more paying for wet papers delivered to the roof. one less bill, YAY!

Each bill you have can be considered this way. Then, one by one make every effort to pay off each bill and afterwards don't use that card again.
