Spending less but living at large

This summer I have to face the reality that I am a post-graduate student on vacation, without full-time job and consequently without permanent income. Well, in this situation it is quite wise to start thinking what is the best way to spend my savings which are not huge (at least I have some:))

Just in time I came across this article:101 ways to trim your budget. It's fun, creative and quite practical. Sure, first, you have to calculate and plan, what you have and what you need. So, you create some limits for your budget. Here it is really important to be realistic, or you will be in trouble really soon if you underestimate your wants and overestimate your finances. And then the fun part starts, you try to stick to the plan and to be creative with shopping and savings on different things. Especially I liked one when one is adviced to wait untill the washing mashine is full and only then to wash, and even better it is advised to wash in cold water (although don't you have to put more washing substances?).

Wow, I really enjoyed this article. One of the advices I've just implemented. I've redecorated one of the rooms using the wallpapers which were waiting for ages to be used and now they really look fun. Definitely, have a look at this article!
