Title: It's about survival

Hello World,

Well so far today has been interesting for me, actually. Well let me first tell you about my weekend as I didn't get a chance get a chance to write (maybe tomorrow Ill cover today, lets see how the flow goes). I WORKED on the weekend whoohoo those 12 hours, I couldn't live without em' sad but true. On Saturday I went to a friend's birthday party which was nice, I did my regular party dances and shoved down cheap alcohol but not before hitting up my local coffee shop for a free coffee.If you live in my city then you know what I am talking about lol.. Broke people gotta 'Find Ways' okayyy...What I mean by 'find ways' is,, you find out if your local shops have promotions for free stuff, you grocery shop for coupons and sales flyers, you find a place where you can get free WiFi to surf the internet, you go to the library to use their faxers, scanners, and computers. You 'find ways' you don't pay full price if any price for things. Some call it cheap and I have no problem with that word as long as your getting to your goals personally, health-wise and professionally. So here's some examples from my life;
Personal
I want to be a great girlfriend and wife one day so I try to nurture my relationship. Those who read my blog may know I am in a long distance relationship with the love of my life, he lives in Germany (no, we did not meet online). So, one of my goals for the end of this year is to move to Germany to be with him. Here's how I 'find ways'---- I go on groupon and find a cheap teosl certification course $60, I could easily pay $1000 but not in my situation. I am thinking about using the local school board adult learning program to learn German paying $115 (depending on what you want you could even kijiji or craigslist a tutor for less), I could easily go to a well known private school and may $600. I pay no money from my visa as I am using the government's work travel visa initiative.
Health-wise
Instead of going to a gym, I use the one machine I have in my basement and try to exercise everyday (Won't lie, I am not the most disciplined person but I gotta make it work). I want to eat more fresh and good products so I use coupons very often and buy good things that are on sale. Example, I love Greek Yogurt but I only like to eat organic ones, so I only buy it when its on sale and/or I have a coupon to use on it. There are cheaper stores for same products if your willing to look.
Professionally
Well I talk about this one constantly. I try to have a couple appointments in the same day so when I do leave the house I am getting my money's worth. I do not work with agencies that I trying to take money from me.

Whatever, you do 'find ways' don't try to follow the Joneses. Don't be afraid to be cheap or find creative ways to solve your problems. Its your life and it has to be something you take seriously. Wow, how did this blog get so serious? Okay, relax now. Just ask yourself these questions "Am I living the broke life?", "What steps should I take to get out of it?", AND MOST IMPORTANTLY

Tip of the day:  "Am I being creative about surviving it?" - noone ask this question, because a lot of times people giving advice about money are not living the reality of it. In this day and age you need to be creative about your money and your time to have a glimmer of hope of surviving the broke life.
Its hard out here for a broke girl.
