Pay Debt and Manage Expenses in a Recession

Spending more than you make? Ask yourself before you make a purchase; Can I afford this? Keep track of your expenses for an entire month and compare it to your income. Make sure that you are spending less than you earn, and figure out where you can afford to reduce monthly spending. You can do this by eating out less and eating at home more, or buying store-brand groceries instead of higher prices brands. That meal at McDonald’s won’t drain your bank account by itself, but five to ten of these meals a month can put a serious dent in your pockets. Do not forget to plan for your expenses that come around annually or bi-annually such as car insurance or property taxes.
