    When you can’t earn money, then, time isn’t money, Money IS Money! Sure that device costs $5 to replace, but with those two hours that you weren’t earning cash, you saved $5 that you can spend on whatever your heart desires. When you aren’t earning, save.

      Since I lost my job, I’ve been macguyvering stuff around the house to save money. For example:

      Every week I would take out my blue trash can for the garbage folks to pick up/dump, but for the past month I haven’t bothered to take it out. Why? I’ve been reusing the cardboard as weed barriers for my garden (with mulch on top) to using egg cartons as temporary seed trays to using those clear fruit containers as pots as well.

      Empty coffee cans endnup being filled with other smaller oddities around the home or used as a smaller bucket for when I need to harvest sand.

      Point being, you be surprised how resourceful you can be if you give it a try.

      You can be making money anytime nowadays if you’ve got a driver’s license. Not that I’d recommend it though.
