Is money tight right now? Are you drowning in bills, debt and stress? Learn 10 things to give up when money gets tight. You will get through this, learn how

Saving Money

Money is tight and the bank account has seen better days. This is all to common in today’s economy.  The money coming in just doesn’t equals the money going out. The budget is tight. 

Tight Budget

The true reality is the money coming in equals less than the money going out and the debt is rising.

Saving Money On A Tight Budget

How do you save money when there doesn’t seem to be any money to save? The simple answer, you cut back.  The better answer, you look at where you are spending your money and you cut back on what you don’t need right now.

Ways To Save Money 

You also look for further ways to save money.  Like using Rakuten to save money while you shop. You simply click, shop and save.

How To Save Money

When things are tight it’s generally a short period of time (in between paychecks) so you need to cut things where you see results now.

Ways To Save Money

Like Friday night dinners out, your morning coffee drive thru and the dozen premade cupcakes you just bought.

Overspending

Skip the weekends away, the expensive date nights and the unnecessary shopping

Learn what we as a family stopped buying to save over $1000 a month. It was crazy what all these items added up to once we took a closer look at our finances.
