Practical ways to save money?

or

Practical ways to cut cost and maximize earnings?




1. Reduce your expenses on Gadgets.

2. Create a list of your most needful appliances and make sure you buy all this month (January).

A washing machine that was sold at N35,000 has skyrocketed to N53,000. By March, expect to pay N70k. And guess what? Salary won't increase. In fact, more Governors would find it difficult to pay.

Tecno Camon C5 as of last year November was sold @ N21,000. Today, it currently sells @ N33,000. By March, it will skyrocket to N52,000 (fact).

Open your eyes, and get the most important contingencies right away! It won't get better



Do not save CASH, instead save GOODS. The cash is loosing its values with only insignificant and ridiculous dividends.

@ post above hmmmmm!

Well, I am an optimist so I believe things will get better.

After the rain comes the shine

You are wise. Only a wise person would know this. Thumbs-up!

Well as a economics student , my hostel is far from school, I trek to school in the morning,in the afternoon I and my friend lap each other in kekenapep if we are very broke or a guy pay our transport if we are lucky .
then for browsing my assignment and chatting I subscribe to airtel 250mb for 300 naira which last me for a month.
in school, I and my friend contribute money and buy one plate of food and eat it together(thankGod for mu friend). if we get lucky we find a guy that wil buy it for us.
then now pure water is #250 , just boil water and put it in fridge then your water is ready to drink.
cook 2weeks worth soup and put it in fridge . the soup will be very economical o.
during exam period, as a bright student I go and stay with my friend living alone and eat free food. lolzz

student life is not easy. but after the struggle comes enjoyment .

Get a book and write your daily expenses. Going through it later will help you cut down on unnecessary purchases

Buy things in bulk. You save tons doing that

The most important is plan your finances! Budget! Budget! Budget
