Are You Beating the Credit Crisis?

    Just about every one of us has been affected by it in one way or the other. I have been thinking more and more about ways of trying to save more money and get myself out of debt instead of more into debt. I was even more inspired to do more by a short video in a post I wrote (Beating the Global Credit Crunch) to seek out those steps to get myself and my family more financially stable.

    I am going to write a few post on things people can try and do to save more money and to kick it off, I thought I might ask you guys what you are doing (if anything) to spend less but still live life. I will post responses (one is enough and please keep it short and simple) in a short post with links through to your blogs so be sure to put the blog you want me to link to. I will publish the post on Sunday the 7th.

    So, what steps are you taking to beat the CRUNCH?

    I am living life as normal. Since I use no credit cards and have been on a path to debt free living, it is not that hard. The credit crunch is affecting the job market a bit but if you already had good management, it should not be that big of a problems.

    Simple tip, "live your wage."

    That is a good way to do it. I lived the same way for a while but I let things fall by the way side for various reasons. I have learnt from a lot of my mistakes and am slowly working my way back to a good position for me and my family.

    I have no problems with my credit. Although I use credit cards, I pay the whole amount when the statement comes. Live within your means is the best weapon against the crisis.
