It seems that there are always more questions then there are answers. Life is so curious. We will never forget it all out. Not even the smartest people in the world will know everything, because things are always changing. What is our economy going? Well as of right now, right down the crapper. When people have to decide whether to pay a bill or eat that week. What can we do to fix it? What can we do to survive during these hard financial times? What do you do to save money?

Hey tlb, I just don't really have an answer to this question.
I really don't know what I'm going to do. I just know that I'm
scared and worried just like everyone else. My boyfriend and
I try to take it one day at a time. I'm not working because
I am temporarily disabled right now and don't know if or
when I will be able to work. So things for me are not very
settled. He is working and we are managing the best we can.
I am trying to make money by figuring out a way to start
doing some writing on some paid writing sites. I haven't
really figured things out yet, but hopefully I will find
some way to start making some money soon. Things are tough
for everyone now and we just have to make the best of what
we can the best way we know how.

I give myself a weekly budget and make sure I stick to it! Once I've spent my money allotted for that week, I'm not allowed to buy ANYTHING more, no matter what. Whatever it is can wait until the next week. So far this has worked pretty well for me.
Some other things I do to save are:
Walk instead of drive/public transport (I walk a lot!)
Compare prices EVERYWHERE (at the grocery store, online...anything that I buy I make sure it is the cheapest version)
Recycle and Reuse
Get as much free stuff as I can whenever there's an opportunity, haha
