I hear so many people say that they know how to save money, yet when I talk to them it’s always the same old thing that may work great for them, but doesn’t work great for anyone making under $50,000 a year. This group it seems is the group that is forgotten. If you make under that amount you may as well forget the advice of all of those people, they can afford a trip to Vegas and a night in one of the many Vegas hotels, while you just sit there wondering why you can’t have a decent running car.
My tip to you is to find someone who is poor, living on food stamps and follow them around for a while, they will teach you how to save money, it’s not just going to Sams and buying in bulk. It also is not shopping around for the best deals, really if you have kids you don’t have the time, energy or gas to be running from store to store. Find a women with more then three kids who is on assistance and you will hit gold. There is a reason people think that most people on food stamps have it good, these people learn to buy what is cheap on sale and all at once, that way they don’t have to come back to the store to buy anything. They freeze, eat leftovers and have a variety of recipes to use. They also only eat out maybe once a month. Tell that to most of the people you know giving you advice and I’m sure they can not say the same.
My point is, sometimes saving money involves thinking in new ways and forgoing many of life’s pleasures.
