Like Aviator Glasses, Hard times are back and here to stay.

Jobs haven't been cut but chainsawed: -2.6 million in '08, -598k in Jan '09.
So saving is crucial because in the worst case scenario you only want to worry about finding a job, not how to pay your bills...

Before you try to earn more over next few weeks, you can start spending less today!

Here are 7 steps easy steps to saving

Change you can live with
If you look around your place, there is plenty of loose change. A nickel here and there, maybe some quarters. Top places: cars, coats and couches. USE THEM! 

Eat Cheap & Plenty
Go for value menus on weekdays and fill up on weekends with a Buffet. Just $4.99 for unlimited pancakes, 99c double cheeseburgers. Life is good with fast food.

Wear it Out
Wear more simple clothing like Jeans and Hanes shirts on weekends. Durable, cheap and easy to machine wash. Save the beautees for the Summer.

Shop and Commute
Do your groceries and errands during peak hours, save yourself the time spent waiting in traffic doing nothing and a few gallons of gas. 

Home Entertainment
Have you seen any movies worth $20 dollars lately? So just catch them later on DVD.
Use Netflix for $9.99 a month and treat yourselft at home.

Free Stuff
Every day people give away things, mostly garbage but there are always a few hidden gems. Check out your local craiglists for sale >> free.

Sell! Sell! Sell!
There are plenty of things collecting dust somewhere inside your place, sell them, get paid for more free space.
