This is good, thanks for the info. People don’t have to sit down and say they don’t have a job, they can make one!!!
Yes Reina,
One can always create new and creative income streams
These are great suggestions. I really like the one about eating out. I believe many could save so much if they looked at how much they ate out.
yes u could save between $200-500 a month if you reduce eating out to once a week. Create a little chart and track how much you are spending eating out over a 30 day period.
I’m about to do most of these 35 things on the list to make sure in a year I’m close to being debt free. Thanks Q. Can always count on you to put things into perspective for me.
Well that would be awesome if u did all 35….u would more than enough money for sure my friend…
This list is cool because they are all things that can be implemented by anyone whether they need to or just want to. Nice reminder of the potential God has blessed us all with–especially in hard times.
