Spending less, saving more.

With Christmas coming up this can be a hard ethos to stick to. We all know we should do this, but there's something about this season that makes us want to rush out to the shops and start buying. However, by cutting down on unnecessary expenses in the run up to Christmas you may find you actually have a bit of extra cash to reinvest in buying those Christmas presents. Also, with the economy in the UK not showing much signs of recovery towards the latter part of the year, it could be a while before we see better days. So before buying upgrades to phones, electronic appliances that aren't necessary and any other goods that we don't actually we should instead be thinking about what we can do without and/or if there are any ways we can perhaps recycle or reconvert what we currently use. Thus preventing the need to go out to the shops and buy a brand new product, with expensive packaging, that will in the end cease working or become faulty.
This economic crises, has taught us some valuable lessons about our propensity for consumerism and how we have becoming indoctrinated in the capitalist system which rules all over other forms of ideology.
