Written by Debbie Brown

No matter how big the economic depression might be, living frugal must be your sole aim. If you want, you can make your life debt free and breathe with a sense of relief. If we turn back the pages of history, we will remember how during the Great Depression everyone followed the motto: “Use it up, wear it out, and make it do or do without.” Though these words are old but they will show us a path to a debt free life.

Here are 7 simple yet handy tips scooped out from the pages of history that can help you to cope up with your financial stress:

The basic level is to start pulling the reigns of your finances from home. It could be like cooking easy and affordable meals instead of gorging on expensive meals outside. Learn more on home repairing, surf the web for easier yet innovative recipes and many such household works. So the lesson is “do it yourself”.

Have you thought about raising your buying power? This means getting something at a cheap rate. For instance, you can buy food items in bulk at a lower price. It will be like ‘more for less money’.

Barter exchange can also be an answer to your financial woes. Though this sounds primitive, but barter system can work wonders. For instance, you need a nice facial and your facial expert needs a babysitter. So just exchange each other’s demands and make yourself happy. In this way you will never have to compromise with your desires.

Try finding out sources when you head for purchasing daily items such as food and groceries. Like you can get staple products such as rice or grains or vegetables from a farmer or via a farmer’s market. This helps you to save more since it does involve any middle man cost.

Make use of whatever is scrap. It can be broken items or even packaging materials. You can put these into use for repairing, decorating or reuse them. For example, thrown away clothes or rags can be sewn into a quilt or a pillow or a nice bag.

Spending is a general tendency. It is very difficult to stop this habit. So why not spend to save? As a tip, you must buy things when they are coming cheap. Buy them in bulk and stock them up. For example, buy all your Christmas goodies four to five months prior to Christmas and store them. You will save a lot of dollars.

Last but not the least; the very conventional tip is to spend according to your means. Your daily necessity items cannot be included in this category but it caters to all those extra expenses that push you down into the debt pit. It could be like using your credit cards recklessly and incurring heavy credit card debts. Remember if you get into debts, you will always have to pay back more than you had spent. So the bottom-line is to regulate your money and make it work for you.

The above mentioned tips and advice is like a snap shot of what you need to do to restore your financial equilibrium. This is an unconventional take on managing your money. You can try these out because you will need to do it yourself. If you are in debts and want to come out of it, pay it off today. All you need is to be smart enough to tackle and tame your debts.
