Common Cents: Financial Cheat Codes
The first question you need to ask is, do I need it, or can I get it cheaper? You can easily stay away from restaurants. Just learn how to make it yourself, and save a bundle. Next time you go into a restaurant and order food, take a look at what you received and ask yourself is this ten dollar meal worth an hour of minimum wage pay? It doesn't cross many people's minds that they could get that $10 meal five or more times if you just made it yourself. Take for instance a casual restaurant. You buy two pizzas and all of a sudden you've racked up $25. Why not buy six $4 pizzas from your grocer and do that meal three times over? You will leave way more cash in your pocket over time. Perhaps you buy pop with your meal for $2. You should really consider buying store brand and investing the difference into a soft drink stock. Which pays an annual 3+ percent annually. For $10 000 that you've spent on pop in your lifetime, you would now be receiving over $30 a month. It's not too late to start, but you can blame your financial burden on your bad habits.

Climbing the Debt Mountain
Debt is one of those things that many individuals think that they cannot live without. However, debt is something that has been engrained into our society for a very long time. It has gotten to a point that just about everyone in America is carrying some sort of debt over their head. Corporations have spent a plethora of money on advertising to get us to think this way. The Federal Reserve tells us that the average household is carrying just shy of $130,000 worth of debt. On the other side of debt is income. Again, according to the Fed, the average income for a household is just shy of $60,000 a year. This statistic alone is very indicative of how much of America is living.
