Where Do You Live?


State:



You would probably be amazed to find how much of it slips through your fingers each day if you were to keep careful track of what you did with your money. Whenever I begin to talk to friends or students of mine about getting electric bicycles or electric scooters, they almost, without fail, begin to tell me that they do not have the money to purchase one.

The thing that I always like to point out to them is that purchasing an electric bike or an electric scooter is just like handling an investment. As a matter of fact,one of these methods of travel IS AN INVESTMENT,considering the gas savings that you will have! So, for the rest of this report, I’m going show you ways that you can get the funds so that you can purchase an electric motor scooter or bicycle.

Here are some of the world’s easiest methods of finding the money that you will need. Remember, some electric bicycle kits are only $400.It all depends on what you want or need although you can spend up to several thousand for a really good scooter or bike.

I recently found several hundred dollars worth of merchandise lying around the house. No kidding. I find that if you are older or married you accumulate junk very, very fast. For example, I found a gigantic tub of Legos that my son had when he was younger. I don’t really thinks he needs them now, because he gets to play with much bigger toys in the Air Force.

I also found a whole ton of Playstation games, computer games, antiques, and a whole variety of other things that were just sitting around (some of them new and never used) eBay usually charges a few bucks to unload this stuff and you will be amazed how much money you have left lying around the house collecting dust.

We have Half-Price Books in our town and they will give you cash for bringing in used books and videos.

Look for money around the house and loose change. I recently found $25.00 in change lying around. Check in all drawers, mattresses, boxes, especially under recliners.

Personally, I think everyone should at least try it once. Statistically, a lawn mowing business in an average town can bring in $30,000 per year. At least $30,000 per year, that’s right. Just think if you have a skill or trade that you could use to make some extra money. Hey, it’s better than sitting around WISHING you had extra money. Go to the local library and get a book out on how to make extra money starting a part time business. One very easy way to get started on a business is to build an Internet business. You can easily start one on about a dollar a day.

While I’m on the subject of books, you can save money if you got to book stores look at their books and then order them used online from eBay or Amazon. I recently bought two Web design books from Amazon. Both books were brand new and cost $20.00 with shipping. They would have been over $50 if I had bought them at the book store.00.

Here are a whole bunch of other things you can do to save money.

I’m a coffeeaholic. I drink the stuff all day, but I make my own or take a thermos with me. I never spend the money with the vendors because $2.00 here and $ 2.00 there really makes a huge difference over time. Oh, by the way, stop at McDonalds for your coffee if you have to. A recent survey said that over all other coffee vendors including Starbucks,coffee drinkers nation wide choose the taste of their coffee. McDonald’s large comes in at just under a dollar too!

I was always amazed at all of the sales women that would eat at the mall restaurants and I used to work in a department store….Everyday!!! Mall prices are usually not very good for your diet or digestive system and very inflated. I eat a large, healthy salad every single day. Only in an emergency would I eat from a vendor.

If you drive to work, carpool with a colleague or take public transportation. This is a real no brainer considering gas prices.

Using the machines at your bank and do this by planning ahead. Yes, the banks charge you money for using the little machine at the mall or minute market. Going inside and writing a check or avoid this trap by going to the ATM at your bank.

To a very ritzy yet popular restaurant chain,my wife went out on a special occasion recently. It was a Tuesday night and the restaurant was packed! People don’t cook at home anymore and eat out very frequently. My wife and I have learned how to cook real well at home. It is much cheaper but it is fun to do and much healthier for you.
