Money Tips

by robalmanComment Published at 18:5018:503 comments3 comments10 Visits10 VisitsReport

As we all know, cash is a hard thing to come by and most people work hard, long hours away from thier families to get it.

As it happens though, it is not how much you earn but how much you spend.

1)Pick your pay up 1 day later every week. eg: If Payday is Thursday don't get your pay till Friday then next week get it out on Saturday and so on until you have and extra weeks pay each 7 weeks.

2)When you purchase anything put an extra 5-10% in a tin. eg: groceries cost $250 then put another $25 in a tin, a drink cost $3 so just 30c in the tin. You will be surprised just how fast it adds up.

3)Put and extra silver in a tin and save it for 1 year and then treat yourselves to a nice meal. Last year we save just over $100 this way.

4)GOLDIES. Do not spend gold coins, save them for just 1 month and then cash them in at the bank. My best month was $600 which is one third of our income.

Otherwise the bulk buy thing IS a great idea but Tin food keeps for ages and is a good thing to add as are rice and pasta.

Happy saving fellow scrooge's

Regards

Robert

Thanks for sharing these ideas. we get paid monthly so the weekly thing is a little hard to do.
