Holler For A Dollar!!

So the country is in a recession-blah, blah, blah. Everyone is broke-wah,wah,wah

Money is tight-boo-hoo-hoo

That doesn't mean you have to stay at home watching reality TV or Law & Order reruns while going to the kitchen every hour on the hour because you are hungry and bored. So not only are you broke, but now you are fat. When you're fat, what's the solution? The gym-another monthly expense that you don't need. On top of that, since you are broke and home all the time, you are also glued to the Internet and SPAM! You get hacked or a virus on your computer. Side note: if you are a PAYING Comcast customer (not you "customers" getting the Internet rigged by Comcast) then Norton Security is available to you for free. Or if you are a college student, your university should be providing some sort of anti-virus-security something for your PC or laptop.

When you are working, don't go out to eat all the time. As much as $20 a week (and that's lowballing it ) which equals $80 a month can go to waste. That could have been your gym membership, chunky monkey. If you must go out to eat, try Subway. Their $5 footlongs could be lunch for 2 days. Wendy's has a dollar menu which includes 5-piece chicken nuggets and a garden or Caesar salad. If you break the chicken nuggets into pieces, you've got yourself a crispy chicken salad. Little Caesar's $5 pizza come a long way, especially with the little ones, and they aren't THAT greasy. Paying for music online? WHY? When there are free sites where you can get music and feel safe with your Norton or McAfee security set up. :)

There are so many things to do that is low budget for everyone. Going to the pool with the kiddies (That's a work out and the water doesn't really make you hungry. When you get home, different story), even going out to eat, shopping for clothes (MACY'S ONE DAY SALE HAVE YET TO DISAPPOINT), outlet stores, etc. Get creative. Go online and research! It's out there! You can do it!
