This  woman has done a great thing for her wallet. She has saved over $300 a month by making some changes that were not huge but they added up to something greater.

It isn’t always easy to chop things out of your budget, but none of the changes that this lady made seemed as though she was going to have to start eating noodles or cheap food in order to save money. She made cuts in some areas and kept other things  to make up for the slack. She got rid of her home phone but kept her internet as a means of communication  (plus Skype).

Kudos!

If other people made cuts like she did, this could affect their wallets. I know a lot of people who will not cut their cable, because it may be the  ”only free entertainment” that they had. Not everyone needs what they have been spending on. She didn’t cut out everything just the things that she could live without. Thinking about what you spend your money on is imperative.

There are naysayers who say that people who are saving more and buying less are contributing to the poor economy. Though people spending less does have an effect, were we, as a nation, spending money we really had or were we robbing ourselves?
