We are all suffering somehow during these tough times of the recession. Today I will give you an advice on how to beat it, or actually how to cope with this ever growing problem.

From what I have learned so far during these times is that, you cannot rely on anyone. Realizing that others are going through financial problems will help out your feelings of frustration. Get past this feeling and of understanding, and you will be golden.  Prepare yourself for many let downs, and be more independent in areas you were not able to be.

Today what I have done is went ahead and got the Pay-As-You-Go cell phone. This is not a plan, contract or a bill. You only pay according to how often you use the phone, meaning if I used my phone today, I will be charged $1. Well, considering that I would only pay $30 a month, or longer depending on if I even used my phone at all is definitely great.

Another tip I learned today is that you do not have to limit your use of internet talking to just typing, text someone’s phone from your computer, or better yet call them. This calling feature with is used my Yahoo, is the use of webcam and microphone features, enableling you to see the person and talk to them without the slow pace of texting. Yes, the use of internet is important, but going to your local library is free. But this would pertain to LAN which is on laptops. Sorry for all those PC users.

So being cheap and resourceful is a must. There is no shame in being this way; we are all coping in our own with the recession. So, again keep your heads up and walk proud, I too am a Class C Bum.
