When money is tight you need to find more cash, more funds.  You need to figure out ways to decrease your expenses that don’t take more money, weeks or years to implement.

Save Money Monthly

Saving money each month adds up even if it’s just two dollars here or five dollars there.  Imagine if you could save $25 each week by bringing your own coffee instead of hitting the coffee drive thru.  That equals out to $100 each month and $1200 a year.
