Almost everything these days has a price tag. That includes our water, food, shelter and all our other necessities. Sooner or later, even the air that we breathe will have a price as well. But then again we do not have a choice. All of these are vital to our existence so we will do what we can in order to make ends meet. We just need to focus on the needs rather than the wants in order to survive without any debts to our name. But, that seems impossible considering how expensive everything is.
However, if you have an extra space at home or in your yard you can make your own vegetable garden. If there is none, you can use an old water containers or bottles to plant vegetables. You can also make use of woven baskets for your small garden. It may sound far-fetch to some but there are several success stories of gardening enthusiasts who were able to grow a garden even in a small space apartment using decorative planters.
You can also save money by buying energy saving appliances and lighting fixtures. Perhaps it is time that we should use reusable energy such as the solar cells. One of my uncle uses solar cells to run the house. The solar panels were a bit costly at first but he had saved a lot of money since he is no longer paying for electricity.
It is also wise if you will use high grade construction materials, or home parts which are made of fiberglass or PVC(Polyvinyl chloride) for your home and/or offices. There are also several manufacturing companies which offer a long term warranty to home parts such as window and door header. You can also seek the advice or recommendations of your architect or interior decorator where to buy low cost yet durable construction materials. Their expertise is needed in choosing the right materials for building a home that will stand the test of time.
Our economy has not fully recovered yet. And anytime we might lose our job. So it is only necessary that we should practice wise spending not only to make ends meet but also to prepare for the rainy day.
