As gasoline prices increase, everything else goes up with it, and often times commodity prices goes up faster than some people’s income. So what is to do? A lot would depend on borrowing from relatives and friends or on payday loan. And the most logical thing one would do is to budget the expenses to get things to fit in the income. While it is true that one should make a plan on where the hard earned income would go, it is not always working to just do that. 

What if the expenses at its most stripped down cost, like the basic needs for food, shelter and clothing, plus utility bills, cell phone load and others is more than the money you make? 

The best thing to do is to find means to make extra income, and earn more, to be able to buy the things you need and want. A lot of opportunities are out there to make it happen, one can take an extra job part time, or buy and sell items like gadgets or just whatever you would enjoy selling.   

My sister for instance would go to a mall where there are pre-owned mobile phones are for sale.  She would go around and see what’s on for sale, negotiate for a low price after testing the item and buy it. She would then use the item to test it for herself and start selling it on ebay or post in a forum or classified ads, doing this, she makes an extra $200-$400 dollars a month.   

There really are a lot of ways to skin a cat in as much as there are so many ways to make extra money.  Simply decide to do it!
