Get help with debt. It is so easy to get into debt, but not as easy to get out of it.
The first thing you need to do to get debt free is set a realistic household budget. List all things you have to spend money on i.e Gas – Electric, mortgage, then list all the things you want to spend money on. The goal is to separate between ‘Need’ and ‘Want’ for example you ‘need’ to eat or you ‘want’ that new cd.
The idea is to look at you outgoings and see where you can make cut backs, set yourself a shopping budget for food. Some examples of how to save money on groceries, household bills.
1. Ask your supermarket what time they mark down there products, and purchase these when they are cheaper. Most things can be frozen to restore the sell by date.
2. Grow your own vegetables and fruit alot cheaper than buying.
3. Use price comparisions sites to check you are not paying to much for your gas – electric or mortgage.
4. Check with your enegry supplier to see if you have an economy setting, do you washing etc in the evening as it is cheaper.
5. Take a shower instead of a bath, its cheaper.
6. Do you really need the heating on ? Can you just put on another layer of clothing.
7. Hang clothes to dry on a rainy day indoors over the bath or use a clothes airer, its cheaper than the tumble dryer or radiators.
8. Use natural products for cleaning its cheaper and better for your health !! I.e Vinegar for cleaning windows.
Overall just think about ways to do things on the cheap, research and you will be saving money and getting out of debt.
Remember pennies make pounds and pounds make rich men !!!
