Cash Mortgage

This economy crisis is prompting a lot of families to work together to try to keep monthly spending low and financial savings positive. Even as we try to keep the finances that we need for survival in a good state, so too should we work to do good things for the earth and the natural things that we need. The truth is that if we make an effort to go green, we may in fact see more green in our family's finances. Try these tips to save your family during this economy crisis:

Give your clothes some "hang" time during this economy crisis. Many people that have space around their home can put up a clothesline outside where they can hang up and dry their clothing. If you are a bit squeamish about your clothing hanging out for all to see, then consider putting up a clothesline inside, either in a garage or even a retractable one in the shower or bathroom. The tools and clothesline that you need, you can buy for cheap at a dollar store or discount retailer.

By eliminating the use of the dryer, you will see an automatic saving on your electric bill, as dryers take a lot of energy to run. If you don't have a lot of clothes to dry, then you definitely don't need to use that dryer. During this economy crisis, wouldn't it be better to drip dry so that you can help the environment and your wallet!

Walk, ride, or skateboard wherever you need to go while the economy crisis is looming. Not only will your body get all of the great advantages from this form of exercise, but you will also save money and our environment. Gas prices are ever-changing, so it can be difficult for a family to figure out their exact gas budget, anyway.

The other thing about gas is that it gives off very bad toxins that affect our air and our environment. If you have a big vehicle, you need a lot of gas to operate it and your vehicle probably gives off loads of emissions. During this economy crisis and, really any time, it is best to use different travel alternatives. So, get a little exercise in and enjoy the financial savings from not buying all of that gas. Plus, you will feel even better physically, which is worth a mint!

Recycle and reuse the basics like store shopping bags. Use them for your regular household trash and garbage. Don't worry about doing all of that shopping for garbage bags, just use those. Some say that we should use canvas bags. That's fine also, but surely we need to dispose of our regular trash and those bags are perfect for that! They're free, so you don't even have to try to buy for cheap, just shop and reuse to save your family a few dollars.

Another fantastic item to reuse is newspaper. We get them as circulars in our mailboxes and we even buy them from time to time. They are perfect for cleaning windows, instead of using those name brand cleaning wipes. They can also be used for packing stuff and, even for helping to absorb stinky shoe and suitcase odors. A little crumpled newspaper can go a long way. During this economy crisis, we all need to find alternative uses for things.

These are just a few ways to go green and save during this economy crisis. Consider alternative methods of doing things, get "back to nature", or just don't use as much energy and other resources, and before you know it you and your family could be enjoying the saving, cost-cutting, and new frugal ways that you have learned. Everyone is looking for ways to get more for less right now, and when you and your family see the change in your finances...you will be glad that you took these simple steps toward going green!
