All the talk of fiscal cliffs has me nervous. What plans are you making for finances for the new year? (or your company?)
Personally - I'm fussing at the hubby to turn off lights, I'm trying my best to leave the thermostat alone and we are for mutliple reasons going to limit the fast food dinner nights to only once or twice a month rather than a week! I'm looking for other ways to cut costs, coupons etc. If milk does get to $8 a gallon I can only imagine what only food items will cost.

I've personally been storing up food supplies, especially dry products. Having grown up in blizzard areas, I'm used to having a well-stocked pantry, and I'm going back to that. I should have on hand approximately 3 months worth of anything that I would need to have. Then I just rotate that stock like the grocery stores do, ensuring the first in is the first out. Powder and canned milk are also included in that stock. I will probably start doing more with coupons as well. Our heater/ac is already on a controlled pre-set timer, so it's running less while we're out of the house at work, running to get it comfortable about the time we get home. There's not a huge fluctuation, but just a few degrees can save $$.

Well, we live pretty frugally anyway -- don't eat out much, shop clearance racks and overstocks, cook big and freeze little, basic accommodations when we need to travel, etc. etc. We are in the middle of refinancing our mortgage, which will save us about $200 a month, which will go directly into our savings to build that up.

I'm not doing anything specifically related to the fiscal cliff. However, I am always preparing for future disasters. It's just something I try not to let slip by the wayside.

More Americans struggle on how they will survive when recession hit the country. During the economic crisis stock market collapse and product price especially the primary needs of individual increase. As time pass by, some lawmakers passed a bill increasing the tax imposed to the taxpayer. That involves the typical American household. Pay your taxes this year with an installment loan. |
