Once you put your life at your own need level, following these easy tips should be no problem. You will soon realize how much money you were actually wasting before.
1) Pay off your credit cards or all of your debts for that matter. You should only have but a few credit cards in case of an emergency, ordering by mail or on line. There actually are ways to live without credit cards or credit period for that matter. There are some really good books out there explaining the process.
2) Never live beyond your means. The worrying alone is not at all worth it. You’ll soon learn that material possessions do not equal happiness and no one really cares.
3) Think twice before you buy. Ask yourself if you can get by without a certain item or find ways to use other items in place of it, or even try and make it yourself. Most of the time you’ll find you never even really needed it.
4) Reduce the number of bank accounts.
5) Become more self-sufficient by using your creativity. Try recycling or making your own stuff; maybe even growing your own food and sewing your own simple clothes. Turn pants into tops or socks into mittens.
6) Pay off your home and then sell it…free yourself and put more money in the bank to then enjoy it the way you want.
7) Create your own family entertainment at home like dinner and a movie or game night.
8) Don’t spend your hard earned money on summer camps or activity camps for kids. If you work from your own home you won’t have a need for child-care facilities. Instead, create some activities yourself and maybe make out a schedule of educational trips over the summer for you and your children.
Play together, cook together, clean together, shop together, create stuff together or simply let them help you at work once in a while. Everyday basic chores teach your kids about real life and self-sufficiency as well as the importance of freedom and not wasting money. No other facility does this. Always remember that no one else will take care, love or teach your kids the way you do.
9) Learn to fix your own car or at least have the knowledge to change a tire, change your oil, check all your fluids and learn to become familiar with certain sounds a car makes. If you can tell what’s wrong by sound alone, a mechanic can’t take advantage of you.
10) Learn to trade for your goods and services. I once traded some piano lessons for homemade dresses and handbags.
THE MONEY MAKING GAME
1) Try developing your own home-based job.
2) Turn something you really love to do into your life’s work.
3) Think of ways you can generate some income by simply helping others or providing a very needed service.
4) Your job should always carry with it positive motives. Be honest and caring and your business will thrive and prosper. More and more people will want to do business with you. Don’t try to cheat others for a buck. Treat them the way you would want to be treated. You will really feel great about yourself!
