Postive Increase in Money

In these extremely hard times, the thought of being able to attain more money seems an absurd desire. Extreme times call for extreme measures; survival is a necessary step to our future prosperity. We must learn to prioritize and decide what is really necessary to maintain a comfortable lifestyle.

Document how your money is being spent, how much debt is owed, and what resources you have. Itemize your possessions and decide which ones you do not use or need. Items you no longer use may be sold or given to a charity. Cash received from a sale could be placed into an interest bearing account. Actual value of the charity items could be a tax deduction for you on your income tax statement.

Considering current job status, ask for a salary increase or a promotion and also check outside sources for a higher paying position. Bartering can keep extra cash in the pocket; trade-off chores or services with other individuals. If you hate baking cupcakes for the kids’ activities, find someone who likes to bake cupcakes but hates washing the car and then work out a trade. Pastimes you enjoy working on, such as knitting or baking, could bring in extra money if you were to do these things for other people.

Analyze how you spend your money. Become a thrifty shopper by clipping coupons or buying in bulk. Changing your money habits and learning to live within your current means without increasing your current debt ratio is a good discipline to have. Saving money, even if it is just a little bit, will accumulate into greater funds. As you implement these practices, you ought to see a positive increase in money.
