Great Post from Money Saving Tips:

Posted on: July 11, 2009 By BlondieWrites

Experiencing a drop in income can send us into a panic and our budgets into a tailspin. Unfortunately, it can happen to just about anyone. You or your spouse could be laid off, work could dry up if you’re self-employed, or you or someone in your household could fall ill. Times like these call for drastic money-saving measures.

If you have adequate savings, you will be able to live off of that for a few months. But whether you have an emergency fund or not, spending as little as possible is the key to making it through such tough times. You often don’t know how long your income will be reduced, so it’s crucial to stretch the money you have as far as possible. Here are some ways to do that:

Tell your MONEY that you just want to be friends.

Great Article...

Tell Your Money You "Just Want to be Friends"

You need to break up with your money. I don't mean stop spending or attempt to live an extreme life where money isn't necessary. But during a recession, re-evaluating your relationship with money is crucial.

The first step is to realize the areas in your relationship where money has "intruded" to create what I call a triangle. Here are some possible triangles, which I talk about in my book Financial Infidelity and how you can break up these patterns!

Celebuthrifty: Leah from "The Craftster"

lvanderhye@yahoo.com (Laura Vanderhye) — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 16:24:00 +0000

Do you need inspiration to create something wonderful with all those items you have been saving around the house....just in case you MAY need it someday?
Meet Leah Kramer from The Craftster.net.

Craftster was started in August 2003 by Leah Kramer – a computer programmer and self-proclaimed craft junkie. Leah has been crafting ever since she could hold a pair of safety scissors. Somewhere along the lines she thinks she inhaled too much glue because now she is attracted to crafts that are irreverent, ironic, kitschy, or cleverly eco-friendly. She resides in Boston where she was a founder of the "coolest store ever," Magpie, and for 7 years was an organizer of the not-your-grandma's craft fair Bazaar Bizarre.

What is Craftster?

Craftster is an online community where people share hip, off-beat, crafty diy (do it yourself) projects. The term "Craftster" means "crafty hipster" and is also meant to be an homage to the pioneer peer-to-peer sites Napster and Friendster.

And no matter where your remaining assets are, you're probably also deeply in debt. Your main concern right now is to protect what little capital you have left.
