Implementing frugal living tips doesnt mean that you deny yourself a comfortable life, it entails being keen on your expenditure and avoiding engaging in purchases that may not be important.

What they fail to understand is that when they fail to pay their bills on time or even repay their loans as expected, the consequences will literally affect them and not their neighbors.

Chapter 1 Giving Your Home a complete Makeover

F rugal living tips can be effectively implemented if proper analysis is carried out in the home to ascertain the value and use of every item in the home. It is possible to live in a home that looks clean and elegant with very simple items. Given most people engage in impulse buying, it is possible to find yourself buying items you are hardly using yet they are occupying space and just lying idle in the home. The best place to begin applying your frugal living tips is in the home. Begin by de-cluttering your home for a more spacious and enhanced outlook. You can get rid of excessive clutter by removing everything that you dont actually need, whether it is a bicycle you bought for your baby and is still in good shape, a car you no longer use, clothing, seats, carpets and any other thing. The items can then be given up for resale and the money received saved or used for repaying debts.
