You have to start thinking S-M-A-R-T. What kind of cutbacks can you make? For example: I drink bottled water. Now at $1 a bottle on something that covers over 65% of our planet is not smart. So I bought one of those water filters that screw into your faucet. I have bottles that I refil over and over again. I take them to work. Do you have a lot of small appliances around that house that are always on? I cut my electronic bill almost in half by unplugging all the clock radios and night lights. I also bought some of those florescent bulbs that look a lot like a regular bulb. These things use 80% less electricity than regular bulbs. You would be surprised, but these small things add up. I know I was spending money on the water filter and energy efficient bulbs but these things will pay for themselves in a month providing they pertain to you. If you really need the money right away start cutting back on your food costs. Romain noodles cost a dime and they taste just as good as campbells chicken noodle that costs $130 a can. Ok no chicken in romain noodles, but you are probably just missing about 4 tiny pieces of chicken. Put a brick inside your toilet 'chamber'. You will use a little lesser water each time you flush..Before you know it you will be ahead. Wanna be creative? Find yourself leaving lights on? Buy a motion sensor switch, the lights will turn on when you enter the room and will turn off (by a set amount of time) when you leave the room. I have one, they cost $15 at HomeDepot. Need new windshield wipers for your car? Who says you have to buy 2? You only need the new one on the drivers side, leave the old wiper on the passenger side. So remember you have to start thinking S-M-A-R-T! Yours truly seahorsehawrey.

You need to buy a good working reliable car so try going after a toyota or a Honda. They may not seem appealing but it's the only car you are going to find that is within your price range that's in good working condition. The next thing to do is to get a stable job that pays well and do not waste more than you make that will get you in the hole. As a matter a fact you have to make more than you waste to save that's the definition of saving it's a sacrifice that less and less Americans make. There's nothing else I can tell you since you didn't give us your income or other relevant financial information. Good Luck.

All I gotta say is keep eating either cup o noodles or top o ramen. Well.. maybe that won't even work. By keeping spending down to 7 dollars a day it might work. If you're religious with christianity then trying not to buy anything on Sunday (it's a sin?) would work. Drinking Starbucks coffee some of the time is alright, because all or nothing plans usually don't work unless you're really at it. Huh, get an extra job in this economy???
