Talking Money

July 11th 2010 18:24
We never really have enough money. Our earning determines our lifestyle and many live beyond their means. I know people who were downsized and earn less than they did, that hold two jobs just to maintain their lifestyle. Not preparing for emergencies and/or not being willing to cut back on spending can be a disaster waiting to happen.

There are seven radical ways to save money. Garage sales can bring in extra money. Quitting smoking can nowadays save thousands yearly. Carpooling can make the driver money or save the passenger hundreds using their own car. I'm not a fan at buying used clothing. Go out less to eat and entertainment. Rent a room or rent a room with a roommate. I no longer use credit or debit cards, and although it may sometimes be inconvenient, I don't have hidden fees. I just use cash or check.


The thing about saving money is that you can't spend what you save on some other foolish vice. Some must learn the secret to saving money.

I've mention this elsewhere but your best investments at this time are cash, gold and silver. I mentioned that with gold it is better to buy than sell!

Social lending seems to be a growing trend. Of course it does come with risks, but most pale in comparison to other investments. Social lending is a person-to-person lending. More information can be found here.

You're never too young or too old to plan for retirement. Start planning accordingly at any age!
