Get paid to socialize - Really!

Let me start by saying that I would NEVER recommend a money-making opportunity if it wasn't legit.  Why?  Because this is my blog.  It represents me and who I am and I am an honest person.  So, whenever you see me recommend something, I honestly believe it to be a good thing.

With that said...

I recently signed on with a site that pays you to socialize.  I've tried some of the others before and they were AWFUL!  But, I think I may have stumbled onto something good with this one.  It's called Sidetick, and it's a site that pays you to socialize online.  Make friends, join groups, post polls, create blogs, share pictures...basically it's the same stuff you do on Facebook for free.

If you want to join Sidetick, you may do so here.

Simple ways to reduce your monthly spending

When you live on a budget, it's important to know exactly where your money is going.  How else will you know what you can do to reduce your monthly spending?  The best thing to do is sit down with your checkbook and write down everything you spent the previous month.  Label your purchases as follows:

Gas -

Electricity -
Rent -
Groceries -
Dining out -

etc.etc.etc.

Total up the amount you spent on each and write it down on your list.  You'll be SHOCKED at some of your totals!  Last month I had a mid-three figure total in the dining out section, so I knew I had to cut back big time.

Read this article titled, 'Reduce your monthly spending'  and see if you are missing out on any simple ways to cut back.  Re-evaulating where and how you spend your money is just one part of managing your home on a budget.
