Save Money With Me

Come - Save Money With Me

How did I come to build this web site and why?

The need to save money suddenly became vital.

After a divorce, many moons ago, I was left with two young daughters still needing support and a house to pay for. To say that money was in short supply is a complete understatement. To be able to cope, I held down three different jobs at the same time and seemed to be working a 24-hour day.

I did not get into debt, but it was quite a close call at times - leaving bills until their final due date. I did not take out a credit card as I realised this would be a dangerous route that could scupper my budget.

That is the negative side. The positive side is that I survived and lived to tell the tale.

I think I learned almost every money saving tip that existed - and developed many of my own. I used to make the joke that when I opened my purse the moths flew out for a quick breath of fresh air, and then got back inside again!

Because of my attitude to money I have no debts, and have never, ever had any. It is probably a little old-fashioned now, but I worked on the basis of � if I did not have the money to pay for something, then I went without. The urge to save money has become second nature to me, and the tips I have collected have made sure I succeeded.

I now have a credit card but pay the outstanding balance promptly every month. It is the only way! Make a point of not signing up for a credit card unless you make it your business to use it this way.

I still stick to these old fashioned principles but the difference is I am now running my own business and am happy and confident of the future.

I now have this web site.

Yes, to use the old phrase - Rome wasn't built in a day. I persevered and found the experience well worth while. Without this perseverance I could not contact you and you could not read how I have succeeded.

All of this is my entire reason for this site plus the desire to help others to save money.

All useful tips will be passed on to you.

My attitude to money has meant that I survived,
