As I mentioned on my last email I’m looking for ways to save money. Well there are certain shopping items that right know unfortunately do not cross my mind like clothes and shoes for me although I desperately need some new items.

Then, there are those “luxuries” that I don’t even think about because for my family right now and in a near future they are a mirage – vacations somewhere out here, travel on weekends and eating in a restaurant. These things that usually are kind of normal to a lot of families are a luxury for me.

Well you might say: Take advantage of sales. Well, although we can buy a lot of clothes and shoes on sale, we need money to buy them and right now, we have no money.

I’ve been watching some Maxed Out TV shows and I’m following some of the advices so…no extra shopping right now, only essential shopping.

Christmas shopping is close but this year only a few gifts will be bought. New Year will be spent at home.

I really don’t mind that some people are already booking hotels in new york or las vegas not to mention in exotic and tropical parts of the globe, I know I can’t but that if I make an effort now there is a chance that one day I can.
