Comment on Why is everyone keeping up with the Jones’s? by heaps!

This is probably the biggest reason why people are in debt. Meaning that if one lives in a higher class neighbourhood, they feel the need to have what everyone else has. Perhaps it is because of fear of loss of ego or reputation among neighbours.

One way to control your impulse buys is to wait a 24 hour period to see if the impulse subsides. If you still want the item and have thought through whether or not the item is really necessary, then you will probably purchase it after that time.

I myself am from the younger generation but my parents have brought me up in a way so that I appreciate everything that I have (gadgets and electronics in particular). And if I ever have kids, knowing where the generation is going with new gadgets, I will make sure they earn and deserve something before they actually receive it.

Comment on Save Money on your Grocery Bill – What’s wrong with No-name food? by heaps!

Excellent post. Food and prescription drugs are perhaps the two things that you don’t need to go with the name brand stuff. Name brands only give a sense of trust, and you have already pointed out the very few items which you should not stray away from name-brand (toothpaste especially, non-name brands taste horrible).

If you want to buy brand name, or semi-brand-name, clothes would make sense. But this is only because they fit better. Jeans in particular, brand-name jeans simply fit better around your waist, hips, etc as opposed to non-brand name jeans which just fall on you.

If someone is afraid of buying non-brand name food it would not be a bad idea to at least start small. Perhaps with syrups, cereals, spices and such. They will gain a sense of trust and they wont’ have a problem buying other foods that are non-brand name. And they will eventually learn of which non-brand names to avoid.

Comment on 9 Money Saving Online Communities by Ellen S.

Ellen S. — Sun, 16 May 2010 14:48:52 +0000

I think most people would agree that saving money is something “easier said than done”. Personally, I believe it’s a mind-set that needs to be developed by creating good money-saving habits.

Here are some things I’ve done to help change my spending habits:

- Cook more at home ? Eating out is very expensive especially if you do it a couple times a week
- Try shopping online ? You can find better deals than in the store and you save on gas (I recommend http://www.shoptivity.com)
- Pay the full balance on credit cards each month ? Interest charge is like giving away free money
- Don’t forget to pay yourself ? Set up an online savings account (they pay higher interest than a normal savings account)
- Set a budget and goals ? It’s good to have your goals written down so you see them everyday and don’t lose focus on your ultimate objectives

Again, saving money requires a lot of patience and hard work. However, you’ll thank yourself later on in life. Good luck everyone!! =)

Hi my names Ron i used to be on shared care of 30% for my children since the care ratios were changed i now get nothing at all for them i still pick them up look after them for the holidays buy clothes and i do this on a single disability support pension it aint easy.
I was until recently traveling 1000klms per fortnight in a single weekend to pick them up drop them off .
but they where relocated to South Australia and to keep in touch with them i moved too they are much closer now and the recent pension increases have helped so thank you for that but i believe that shared care arrangements need to be delt with on a case by case basis one formula dosent apply to all any futher help would be greatly appreciated regards ..
Ron..
