Look at all your non-necessary expenses, and maybe even those necessary expenses where you could trim a little (perhaps buying groceries that are on sale and shopping at the less expensive supermarket, buy store brands, turn down the thermostat to cut your heating bill.) There are lots of websites that can help you with budgeting and expenses tracking. One is http://www.vilkri.com If you set up a budget there, you can then go category by category and look for areas where you might be able to cut a little bit. Or maybe instead of setting a budget first, you could just track what you are spending this month, and then look to see what you could live without. It s often easier to save more money than to earn more money, and without knowing what you do or what you are good at, it is hard to know where to point you to earn a little extra cash -- pet sitting? helping shovel snow?|::::|guessing that you re an adult out on your own. cancel cable/internet. make a list before you grocery shop amp; stick to it. nothing impulse,try generic or store brands. cut out meat 2 times a week,don t buy soda or bottled water.cook at home,take lunch to work,never eat out. walk or ride the bus instead of driving. turn back your heater to 68.cut your shower in half,turn off lights amp; unplug what s not in use. these will all cut your expenses. maybe a second job as well. good luck.|::::|Pawn Shop Sell stuff to Family Sell/Give Blood Cut your expenses Contact your utilities, depends on where you live, but they can t shut off electric or gas in Winter if you have kids in the house... could buy you some time until the cash flows again...
