Remember what’s really important when money is tight. How come we forget all of this stuff when we grow up?


Fifth-graders’ tips for the recession”




Saving more, spending less
Spend it on things you really need, such as food and clothes.
Make old stuff last longer: “If your furniture is old and dirty, wash it.”
Pay the bills you haven’t paid.
If you don’t have the money, don’t buy it.
Save some money for medicine or an operation or cavities.
Save for taxes to pay for schools and teachers.
“I have a spending jar and saving jar. I try to have more in the saving jar.”
Don’t buy junk food or cigarettes.
Give the toys or clothes you don’t like to friends or charities.
Take a bike instead of a car.
Go to Aeropostale instead of Abercrombie, where a shirt costs $80.
Donate old clothes.
Think of a new baby in the family as everyone’s Christmas present.
Turn off the lights when you leave the room.
