Life has become so competitive with growing technologies, brands, and everyone wants to settle down with the best. No consumer like these little lads and ladies who are so brand conscious that they wouldn't settle down with an off brand nightwear even. How I wish to make them understand that in our childhood clothes for us were just a bare necessity let alone the brands.
My parents use to work day and night just to provide us with the best they could, but I never remember of being extra demanding because I use to be happy with whatever they gave me. They always stressed upon money saving so that they could provide us with things which would make us happy. Even sometimes their silent gestures would make it up for everything.
It was then and now the scenario is completely different. Kids grow at a fast pace, sometimes I wonder that just other day I shopped clothes for them and now they have become an inch shorter already, and children need a reason to have new wardrobe every now and then, unlike us there concern is not how hard their parents are striving to bring them all this stuffs but they are only concerned about bragging about their proud owning. Well anyways I had learnt saving money tips from my parents and I still apply them now for planning my household budget so that I am prepared to take care of any coming expense.
Getting newer stuffs can be easy if you know how to get rid of the old stuffs. I keep myself updated with some very good sites and books which speak about saving money tips for mums. Through these sites I learned how I can use old worn out kid's clothes by trading them among my own family or i can also use the buttons ribbons zips from the old ones to replace in the clothes which needs some amount of patching. Such innovative ideas help a great deal to bring out the best out of waste and save up at the same time.
No matter how much we earn in a month it is very necessary to plan up the expenses well in advance so that you don't have to say to no to your kids but at the same time teach them to understand their priorities and make use of what they already have. It's not about how much you can spend but it is about how much you can save, and bring about that little difference in your life. Happy saving!!
