Financial Literacy Month – Tip #5

Borrowing / Sharing

Here’s the tip from February 19 – Reduce or Eliminate Bills month:

Can you borrow something versus buying it? When I started my first company I shared space with a friend who was starting his company. To save money, we each bought one piece of office equipment. I bought the fax and he bought the copier. So when I needed to copy something, I would use his copier and when he needed to fax something he would use mine. A little creative thinking saved us money. What can you borrow versus buy? Your local library is a great place to start.

To purchase a copy of either of my books Thrive In Five: Take Charge of Your Finances in 5 Minutes a Day or 111 Ways To Save
