當(dāng)你手頭緊的時候，你會使用哪些技巧?

Betterways
Don’t spend money on stupid things - bottled drinks, crap processed food, etc. Learn to cook dishes based on beans. Manicures. Cable TV.
High-cost cell phone plans. Check out Mint Mobile. Buy refurbished. Far cheaper to buy a certified refurbished or last year’s overstock phone and Mint Mobile than using any plan that includes a “free” phone.
Adjust your thermostat and turn things off.
Limit driving. Combine trips.
Shop resale.
Cut your own hair if you can. This is easy for long hair. Easy to trim bangs. And for men with short hair, easy with those electric clippers.
Do not run up credit card bills. If you can’t pay in full, don’t buy it.
Keep your bank balances so you don’t end up paying overdraft fees and the like. IF you can’t then you may need to close the account.
I wouldn’t know much about the bank fee issue as I’ve never been this broke. Partly because I always do the other things I listed.

不要在愚蠢的事物上浪費金錢——比如瓶裝飲料、劣質(zhì)加工食品等；學(xué)習(xí)用豆類制作菜肴；避免做美甲和訂閱昂貴的有線電視服務(wù)。
選擇低成本的手機(jī)套餐，比如Mint Mobile。購買翻新或去年的庫存手機(jī)，這比使用那些所謂“免費”手機(jī)的計劃要劃算得多。
調(diào)整你的恒溫器溫度，并關(guān)掉不必要的電器。
盡量減少開車次數(shù)，合并出行計劃。
購買二手商品。
如果可能的話，自己剪發(fā)。對于長發(fā)來說，修剪劉海很容易；對于短發(fā)男士，使用電動剪發(fā)器也很簡單。
不要無節(jié)制地使用信用卡。如果不能全額支付，就不要購買。
保持銀行賬戶余額充足，避免支付透支費等費用。如果做不到，你可能需要關(guān)閉賬戶。
我對銀行費用問題不太了解，因為我從未如此貧困。部分原因是我總是堅持上述列出的做法。

First, make and stick to a budget. That will make sure that you spend as much money as you can while saving.
Cut out unnecessary expenses, like eating out, and try to cook at home.
Use cashback apps like Rakuten, chaching.me or Honey, all are good ways to save on shopping, adn while it may not give you that much, anything saved makes a difference.
Shop secondhand, avoid using credit cards that you can’t pay off.
Keep yourself entertained cheaply, instead of seeing a movie, go for a walk.

首先，制定預(yù)算并嚴(yán)格遵守。這樣可以確保你在儲蓄的同時，能有效地使用資金。
削減不必要的開支，比如減少外出就餐，盡量在家做飯。
使用像Rakuten、chaching.me或Honey這樣的返現(xiàn)應(yīng)用程序，這些都是在購物時節(jié)省開支的好方法。雖然節(jié)省的金額可能不多，但積少成多。
購買二手商品，若不能還清，就避免使用信用卡
尋找低成本的娛樂方式，比如散步，而不是去看電影。

Money has always been tight. Here are some of the things that I do:
Stay away from restaurants.
Follow the Mexicans. Shop where they shop.
Keep money in banks that you have to drive to in order to get the money.
If you have a surplus of money… like at tax refund time, buy some gold and/or pay off any outstanding bills. If you don’t have cash on hand, you won’t spend it.
Give any potential wife the paper and pencil test. Give her a piece of paper and a pencil. Tell her to set up a household budget. If she stares at you with a confused expression, pay for her drink and leave. If, however, she draws a “T” on the paper, labels one column “expenses” and the other column “revenue”, then starts asking questions related to income, bills and possibly hard assets if she extends this rudimentary income statement to a balance sheet, that one is a “keeper”.
Don’t buy new cars.

錢一直很緊張，以下是我做的一些事情:
遠(yuǎn)離餐館。
向墨西哥人學(xué)習(xí)，去他們購物的地方購物。
把錢存在必須開車去取錢的銀行。
如果你有額外的資金，比如退稅時，購買一些黃金或者還清未結(jié)的賬單。如果你手頭沒有現(xiàn)金，就不太可能隨意花錢。
讓潛在的伴侶進(jìn)行紙筆測試：給她一支筆和一張紙，讓她制定一個家庭預(yù)算。如果她顯得困惑，只需為她買杯飲料然后離開。然而，如果她在紙上畫了一個“T”字，將一欄標(biāo)記為“支出”，另一欄標(biāo)記為“收入”，并開始詢問與收入、賬單和可能的固定資產(chǎn)相關(guān)的問題，表明她能夠?qū)⑦@個基本的收入表擴(kuò)展到資產(chǎn)負(fù)債表，那么這樣的女人值得珍惜。
不要購買新車。

If the woman looks expensive, she probably is. Shop for wives in places like libraries, grocery stores and maybe churches. Odds are the goods there will be of better overall quality than those you will find in a tavern.
Pay people what they are worth and don’t try to beat them down. Some day, you might need a favor… and service people have long memories.
Don’t get divorced.
Don’t live in New York City or anywhere in California.
Do NOT have a credit card and don’t borrow money.
Learn the difference between wants and needs. You don’t always get what you want in life. Sometimes that is a good thing. Consider the very real possibility that if the woman tells you “no”, she may be doing you a very big favor.
I am not especially wealthy. I don’t own my own home and I have seldom made much more than minimum wage. I live in an old farm house in the country and drive a 2009 Lincoln Town Car. I have few if any outstanding bills. I keep enough cash on hand to handle current expenses and put the rest into long-term investments… not always the ones my financial advisor(s) suggest.
You cannot live on nothing, but you can live on very little. Our ancestors “made do” with what they had. This is something modern people have forgotten how to do.

如果一位女性看起來生活奢侈，她很可能確實如此。你應(yīng)該在圖書館、雜貨店或者教堂等地方尋找未來的伴侶。在這些地方，你遇到的人在整體素質(zhì)上可能比在酒吧里找到的要高。
要公平地支付人們應(yīng)得的報酬，不要試圖貶低或剝削他們。因為在未來，你可能需要他們的幫助——記住，服務(wù)行業(yè)的人員記憶力很好。
避免離婚。
不要住在紐約市或加州的任何地方。
不要有信用卡，也不要借錢。
學(xué)會區(qū)分想要的東西和真正需要的東西。在生活中，你并不總是能得到你想要的，有時這其實是好事?？紤]一下，如果一個女人拒絕了你，她可能在幫你一個大忙。
我不是特別富有。我沒有自己的房子，我的收入很少超過最低工資。我住在鄉(xiāng)下的一所老農(nóng)舍里，開著一輛2009年的林肯·城市 ，我?guī)缀鯖]有未付的賬單。我手頭有足夠的現(xiàn)金來應(yīng)付日常開支，剩下的錢用于長期投資，但并不總是像我的財務(wù)顧問建議的那樣。
人不可能不花分文地生活，但你確實可以靠非常少的錢過日子。我們的祖先懂得如何“將就”使用他們所擁有的資源。這是現(xiàn)代人已經(jīng)漸漸忘卻的一種生活智慧。

無意冒犯，但如果你不使用這個免費工具，你在亞馬遜上就會多付錢
當(dāng)你在亞馬遜(Amazon)網(wǎng)上購物，準(zhǔn)備多付一筆錢時，如果能收到提醒，那不是很好嗎?
這正是這項免費服務(wù)所發(fā)揮的作用。

只需分享你的誠實意見，每月最多可賺取140美元
聽起來很奇怪，但品牌想聽聽你的意見。這對他們做出商業(yè)決策有幫助，所以他們愿意為此向你支付費用——每月高達(dá)140美元。
一個名為“品牌調(diào)查”的免費網(wǎng)站，如果你與他們的品牌合作伙伴分享你的想法，每份調(diào)查將付給你5美元。每天做三份快速調(diào)查，每個月最多可以賺到140美元。

4. Earn as Much as $1K/Month Doing Simple Online Tasks
Is there such a thing as easy money? If you know your way around the web, there certainly is.
That’s because data is currency these days, and many companies are willing to pay cash for it — up to $1,000 per month.
Finding these companies can be time-consuming on your own. But a company called Freecash has compiled all sorts of quick cash tasks from about a dozen advertisers and market research companies thirsty for more data. Freecash has paid out over $13 million to users since 2019.
You can pick and choose your tasks and complete them at your convenience. The coins you earn from each completed task can be converted into things like Visa gift cards, Amazon gift cards, cryptocurrency or cold-hard PayPal cash.
Signing up for a Freecash account is easy and there’s no minimum amount you need to earn before you can cash out. And if you’ve got enough free time on your hands, you can join the ranks of Freecash users making more than $1,000 a month in extra cash.

通過執(zhí)行簡單的在線任務(wù)，每月賺取高達(dá)1000美元
有沒有容易賺到錢的事?如果你熟悉網(wǎng)絡(luò)，當(dāng)然有。
這是因為如今數(shù)據(jù)就是貨幣，許多公司愿意支付現(xiàn)金——每月高達(dá)1000美元。
你自己找這些公司可能很費時間。但一家名為Freecash的公司匯編了十幾家渴望獲得更多數(shù)據(jù)的廣告商和市場研究公司提供的各種快速變現(xiàn)任務(wù)。自2019年以來，F(xiàn)reecash已向用戶支付了超過1300萬美元。
你可以挑選你的任務(wù)，并在你方便的時候完成它們。你從每一個完成的任務(wù)中獲得的硬幣可以轉(zhuǎn)換成Visa禮品卡、亞馬遜禮品卡、加密貨幣或PayPal現(xiàn)金。
注冊一個Freecash賬戶很容易，在你可以兌現(xiàn)之前沒有最低金額的限制。如果你有足夠的空閑時間，你可以加入Freecash用戶的行列，每個月賺取超過1000美元的額外現(xiàn)金。

5. Stop Paying Your Credit Card Company
If you have credit card debt, you know. The anxiety, the interest rates, the fear you’re never going to escape…
And the truth is, your credit card company doesn’t really care. It’s just getting rich by ripping you off with high interest rates — some up to 36%. But a website called AmOne wants to help.
If you owe your credit card companies $100,000 or less, AmOne will match you with a low-interest loan you can use to pay off every single one of your balances.
The benefit? You’ll be left with one bill to pay each month. And because personal loans have lower interest rates (AmOne rates start at 6.40% APR), you’ll get out of debt that much faster. Plus: No credit card payment this month.
You don’t need a perfect credit score to get a loan Plus, AmOne keeps your information confidential and secure, which is probably why after 20 years in business, it still has an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau.
It takes less than a minute and just 10 questions to see what loans you qualify for — you don’t even need to enter your Social Security number. You do need to give AmOne a real phone number in order to qualify, but don’t worry — they won’t spam you with phone calls.

停止向你的信用卡公司付款
如果你有信用卡債務(wù)，你知道的，你永遠(yuǎn)無法逃脫焦慮、利率、恐懼。
事實上，你的信用卡公司并不在乎。它只是通過向你收取高利率——有些高達(dá)36%——來致富。但是一個名為AmOne的網(wǎng)站想要提供幫助。
如果你欠信用卡公司10萬美元或更少，AmOne會將你與一個低利率貸款匹配，你可以用它來還清你所有的余額。
好處是什么？你將只剩下一個每月要支付的賬單。由于個人貸款的利率有更低（AmOne的利率從6.40% 的年化利率開始），你將更快地擺脫債務(wù)。另外：本月無需還款。
你不需要完美的信用評分就能獲得貸款。另外，AmOne保護(hù)你的信息的隱私和安全，這可能是為什么在經(jīng)營20年后，它仍然被美國商業(yè)局評為A+的評級的原因。
只需不到一分鐘的時間和10個問題，就可以看到你能獲得哪些貸款——你甚至不需要輸入你的社會安全號碼。為了符合條件，你需要給AmOne一個真實的電話號碼，但不用擔(dān)心——他們不會用電話騷擾你。
