Cheap Land Has Never Been Easier To Find

On August 2, 2010, In investment

If you are like most people, you probably know someone who was wise enough to buy up a bunch of land when it was still really cheap.  Most of us envy people who had the forethought to make these wise investment decisions.  Most of us also think that all of those great opportunities have come and gone forever.  You might be pleased to know that there are still some fantastic deals to be had out there.  Right now the US is in a major recession.  That’s certainly not any fresh news to you but what you may not know is that along with this recession came some opportunities to buy some really cheap land.

There are thousands of properties on the market right now for sale for significantly less than they are worth.  So many people are standing in the unemployment lines waiting for their unemployment checks.  Many unemployed people are in dire straits right now.  A lot of them have been unemployed so long that their nearing the end of their unemployment benefits.  Tens of thousands of unfortunate people have already exhausted their unemployment benefits and are really hurting financially.

These individuals are looking for a way to make some quick cash and a lot of them have cheap land to sell.  These people are willing to sell their land at a major discount.  They realize that the real estate market is very weak right now and that they aren’t going to get top dollar for their properties.  They also really need money and a lot of them need money fast or they risk loosing their homes and cars.

There are some amazing deals out there just waiting for the frugal investor to find.  The key to finding really cheap land right now is to start asking around.  Tell everyone you know that you are in the market to buy land.  Word of mouth is one of the best ways to find these bargains.  So if you’re in the market for buying some really cheap investment properties, now’s the time to buy.  Don’t wait too long because prices will go up again as the economy begins to recover.

Live Cheap Today – Invest For Tomorrow

On April 17, 2009, In Live Cheap

Look around today and it seems at if “living within your means” has fallen out of fashion, with the many people seemingly intent on getting into as much debt as possible. Regardless of how much someone actually takes home in their paycheck it never seems to be enough.

Credit card debt, overdrawn current accounts and high interest bank loans are the order of the day. This type of financial behavior is obviously unsustainable and we’re starting to see the consequences come to the surface as the Credit Crunch begins to bite.

Learning to live cheaply may sound unappealing, but if you are to secure a life without financial worries then living within your means now will greatly enhance your position in the future. To some people the very thought of drawing in their spending is enough to bring them out in a cold sweat but start to exercise a little self control in your financial life you’ll find that its much easier than you anticipated.

It is often surprising how much money we actually throw away on a daily basis, small items which we buy without thinking add up to a huge expensive over the year. If you want to learn to live cheaply, start by keeping an eye on everything you spend your money on for a month, then begin to cut out some of the non-essential items from your daily routine.

When you get to the stage that you are spending less than you bring in each month you should start to learn to invest money in your future. I always advise my clients to take the first 10% of their wage and to use it to “pay themselves first” by putting the money into wise investments. This may seem like a pointless task if you have a small income but with the miracle of compounding interest the money you start saving today will grow at an extraordinary rate, giving you a comfortable financial cushion in days to come.

When the time comes that you have a financial emergency or you are looking to retire, you will be thankful that you took the first step toward saving for your future today.

Searching out high interest accounts, using your tax-free allowances to their maximum and investing in the stock market are all steps you should be taking to ensure that your money is working as hard for you as possible.

3.Wait 48 hours before buying

We are all guilty of buying products we don’t need and will never use. The next time you want to buy a non-essential product try having a cooling off period by waiting a couple of days before to see if you still need it. Often you will find the urge to buy has gone.

4.Buy a smaller car

The raising cost of petrol, insurance and servicing make car ownership a stressful experience these days. Exchanging for a smaller vehicle will not only reduce long-term running costs, but you’ll have money left over form the purchase to help pay off those credit card bills.
