Tips for Saving Money
By Sheryl Walters
Maintaining financial stability can be a challenge. For some people that are ill and face a reduction in work or not working at all, money is just another humungous burden. This combined with added expenses of treatments, it can all seem insurmountable.
Here are some tips for keeping control over you bank balance.
Online Banking
Taking advantage of online banking is one way to save energy and time. You can have your paycheck or social security paid directly into your account, so no more of those exhausting (for anyone) trips to the bank.
You can also choose to pay your bills online, which guarantees that you pay them. This will help you avoid being charged late fees or interest. It also means no more hours spent writing out checks and time wasted at the post office.
Use Compare Price Websites
There are so many online companies that will save you time and money by doing the price comparisons for you on everything from utilities, to IPods, to furniture. Type Price Comparison into google and many of them will come up.
Talk To Your Utilities Company
If you are on a limited income, you may be able to get on a lower cost plans with your phone or electric company. Many companies are willing to work with people on disability.
Be Aware Of Easy Ways To Earn Cash
Have a look around for ways to earn money without expending too much energy. Taking surveys, both in your home and online are possible ways to get a bit of extra money. You can also test products (avoid those that are going to damage your health, such as cigarettes etc.), and participate in opinion polls. You can apparently get some great idea on www.craigslist.com, click on your region and then look at part time. You can also find ideas online…just type work from home into Google.
Cheap And Healthy Food
It is important that people with CFS and FM eat a healthy diet, since that is one way to be in control of your health. Unfortunately, many people with these conditions say that eating healthy costs too much money and takes too much energy.
Eating healthy does not have to cost a fortune or take time.
Buying in bulk can save you money.
Check your neighborhood to find out if there are any food co-ops.
Make a massive, healthy meal, and then freeze it into portions.
Drink water rather than sodas or sugary juices…it’s cheaper and healthier.
Use coupons.
Shop online and spend the time you save from not having to go to the supermarket on cooking.
Keep A Look Out For Discounts And Rebates On Medications. If you are taking medications, go to the site of the manufacturer and find out if they offer a rebate. Every little bit helps. You can also find out about discount prescriptions.
