Title: Survival Kit for the Broke (6 Must Haves)

Hello World,

I would just like to begin by saying thank-you to all of you that read my blog in Canada, U.S., Germany, U.K. to even India...Thanks!

Okay, now back to business. Well, as you guys all know I am broke and you probably are a little bit too if you like reading my blog. (if you are rich and like reading my blog, can you please send me some money? lmao...no serious). Anyways I want you guys to have a 'Must Have List' for surviving the broke life because as you know, being broke ain't easy. Many of us qualify as living in poverty in a middle class environment and its hard. We live above our means because put simply we are used to this lifestyle. So here are 6 things that will make surviving that broke life much easier for you.

6 Must Haves;

A bicycle: Oh yes, it is worth the investment all the way. You get exercise and it can save you money on transportation whether you have a car or ride the bus - oh yeah and its leisurely too.

A journal or something that you can express all your frustrations on: This will help you move mental blockage which you tend to have a lot of when dealing with the broke life and the other problems you face in your life.

A Library Card: You can browse the internet, print, photocopy and borrow books for free at the library. It's a wonderful place.

A Land-line phone: Old fashioned but superb. It's usually shared between a couple people so maybe you can negotiate something in your household. Its' less likely to get cut off than your cell phone. When employers and people call you they can get a hold of you or leave a voice-mail. It can be cheaply coupled with internet and can cost as much as one of your cheap cell phone bills.

Flyers: So you always know where the sales are at for the week.

A friend that understands: You need someone to take your mind of the crap and just have a jolly ole' time. After all, your broke not dead.


Tip Of the Day: The broke life requires you to be savvy!
