archillesHow to Live on Less to Save More
March 19th 2009 01:59
Living on less is living sensibly but if the less stretches to the point of deprivation, then it cannot be termed as wise or sensible.
There are many areas in your life where with a little bit of judicious thinking and calculation, you could live life on less and save more for the future and at the same time not feel deprived or discontented. It is more important to assess your needs and spend for them, rather than give in to those impulses or ideas that can only mean more spending and saving less.
Saving can be done at home or at the workplace, your money or others. You can make efforts to save the environment, save energy, and not add to the pollution problems and make the earth a place worthy of life. All this too would add up to living on less to save more. Many little things like maintenance of doors and windows to minimize the use of energy by your heating and cooling systems would go a long way in saving.
Another method is to use the latest energy saving lights and bulbs to save more electricity thus spending less on your bills. Save water by using low flow shower heads that are available nowadays to help you save up on those water bills. Another novel method is saving the change at the end of the day everyday. Your pockets are full of little coins that could add up to big notes. As the proverb goes ‘ If you take care of the pennies, the pounds will take care of themselves’ is more relevant than ever before today with the future looking bleak.
