Here are the money saving techniques you need to save your poor, busted budget in this awful economy.
Well, here we are again. After months of being encouraged to “buy, buy, BUY!”, we are all now in the hangover period that leaves us wondering…
How did this happen AGAIN?!
Saving money is more important than ever.
Unfortunately, we live in bodies that constantly want to do things that our brains know darned well aren’t good for us.
…and surrounded by people that think you’re weird if you celebrate spending less at the grocery store. (Are you doing alright, sweetie? Do you need a little extra cash this month?)
The truth is that saving money is just like dieting. There’s not a secret to it (no matter what people try to tell you).
When you diet, you need to eat less and move more.
When you budget, you need to never allow yourself to spend all of the money you bring in.
Sure, it’s simple. But no one is saying it’s easy!
And maybe what you really need is a few tricks, tools, and ways of looking at things in a new light to help you make it stick THIS time.
