Your tips are simple and compact 🙂 Nice. For those how want to spent less then they’re earning: You should try bartering. It’s so easy on sites like barterquest.com where you can barter almost everything from goods to services and even real estates.

I think a lot of things in life have simple answers that we somehow make more difficult.

That is way too clever! Why didn’t I think of it? You should be able to make some cash off of that idea 🙂

If only I could…
Greg McFarlane says
Thanks, but I’m going to keep living beyond my means and buying lottery tickets and penny stocks. Good luck with your “prudence” and “responsibility.”
ffb says
Haha. Feel free to share the wealth when your lottery tix hit!
Kris says
Very clever, and very true! But for many people, easier said than done, unfortunately.
ffb says
Indeed it is easier said than done for many.
Briana @ GBR says

ffb says
Yup.

I think this post was too wordy. I didn’t think I would ever finish reading it. In all seriousness, good post. Straight to the point!
ffb says
Yeah, I know. Sometimes I go off on tangents and I don’t know where to stop. It’s like I keep talking and talking and talking and talking…
