With the Christmas season over and the January bills filling the mailboxes, you might want to plan ahead for the next year. Right now Solar Christmas lights are on sale @ Amazon. Solar lights have a few advantages over convential lights, easy to move, easy to set up, once you buy them no additional costs to run and not least of all, no electrical cords running through your yard. Take a look at this link and see if they can do you any good.
It's the new year and if you are looking to get a few of those annoying projects done around the house, but are unsure how to start them you may want to look at the links below. A good way to becoming more self-sufficient is to learn how to start and complete a DIY project. It not only will save you money, but will also give you the extra confidence to tackle larger projects as they come up.
Installing a room of carpet
Tinting double pane windows
Installing a room of drywall
Reparing drywall damage in your home
Grouting Ceramic tile
Installing a towel bar
I realize the working around the home is not glamorous or a real fun way to spend your weekends, but if you actually total up what you spend paying people to do the little things you don't have time for, you will quickly realize that you can really save quite a bit of money. Working too much can create a negative feedback loop. The more you work, the less time you have for family and fun, so you pay someone to help and next thing you know, you need to work more to make the money needed to keep paying someone to help.
So take a moment, look at your budget and see how many things that you pay others to do and how these things are costing you money and thus time. Break that loop, stop being a good worker bee and become that truly independent person we were meant to be.
