The financial well-being of some families is poor. This applies not only to people who do not want to work, but also to those who are quite busy at their main place of work. Unfortunately, there are salaries that are so low that they are only enough for the simplest products, or even not enough. How to live up to paycheck? There is no single answer to this question, each family adapts in its own way, but the basic principles of economy are the same for everyone.
Instructions
Step 1
When the main income is clearly not enough, you need to think about additional income. Take a second job or earn some money on your main job. This is fine if you have free time and energy, do not exhaust yourself. If the family has adult children, let them find a source of income in the form of a side job.
Step 2
Do not buy expensive and rash purchases, there may not be enough money by the end of the month, even for the simplest products, and you will have to borrow. Buy what you can really afford. This applies not only to things, but also to food. Go to stores that offer discounts and big sales. So you will save even a small amount, but the family will still have enough for bread.
Step 3
If you have a vegetable garden, plant vegetables. Even when there is no money for groceries, you always have something to eat. Also go to the nearest forest and pick mushrooms and berries. Do not be lazy to make supplies for the winter, especially since mushrooms replace meat in nutritional value.
Step 4
Calculate your cost of living. If it is underestimated, apply for benefits, subsidies. You may not save a lot on this, but money will gradually accumulate. Try to walk as much as possible, because public transport is very expensive. Saving rubles every day, you will notice that quite a decent amount of money accumulates in a month, for which you can buy groceries.
Step 5
If you don't have enough money at all, look for another job. What's the point of coming up with and inventing ways of living if you can just change the type of employment to one that will bring more money and take less time and effort. Do not think that now everywhere they pay little, and do not escalate the situation. You can find a suitable position that will make you more money than the previous one.
