10 Ways to Have More Money

My top 10 suggestions for the savvy woman are:

1. Work more.

Not always possible but you will have more money in your pay packet. That is if the tax man, childcare, mechanic, chain store and other support services don't chew it up first.

2. Have your food and personal needs home delivered or wear blinkers at the shops.

You don't spend as much if you don't see the food or other items and have the "I want" rush. Mind you, Ebay can be pretty addictive, as I found out last year when I had some spare cash to burn lying around.

3. Get rid of your husband and kids.

This one is guaranteed to save you thousands! Not always practical though.

4. Commit to not using as much power.

Turn off the TV, the Aircon, the computer, the stereo, the alarm, the fridge, the washing machine, the vacuum cleaner, the toaster, the juicer, the blender, the dishwasher, the telephones, the dryer, the modem, the lamps, and all those other items that chew power. Wow...didn't realise just how many items we have plugged in and turned on for our convenience. What would you do without all these power gobblers?

5. Recycle old underwear.

When the elastic goes or the bottom starts to wear out, get out the scissors and with a few quick snips you have a modern g-string, ready at your convenience!

6. Wear last year's fashion, or in some cases, the year before's or the year before that's.

Of if you are like me, the clothes that fit and are comfortable...maybe 10-15 years old, but at least they have my body shape moulded into them!

7. Cut up your credit cards.

Now I'm serious about this! After all, they charge you for having it, so if you haven't got one they can't charge you.

8. Pay your bills on time.

How many thousands of dollars do people pay per year in fees for late payments?

9. Cancel all direct debits.

How many thousands of dollars do people pay in fees because their direct debit bounced?

10. This one is my biggest life secret on how to have more money. Give it away.

It seems that money is like a man. If you don't love it, it just wants you and will chase after you!

Obviously, these are not all serious suggestions, however the secrets to having more money is contained within the satire. Did you pick them up? Post a comment and tell all.
