ESL Basics

Part of being a successful business person has to do with how well we manage the money we have been given.  This post deals more with personal finances, but it is important to rethink the way we spend money no matter what the circumstance.

The holiday season is a busy time and if you are not careful, can be an expensive time. I wanted to share with you, this link from Investopedia.com. On this page they have "8 easy ways to slash your holiday budget." In addition to their information, I wanted to give you a few more tips on how to spend your money wisely this holiday season, so you are not kicking yourself in January. 

• Instead of buying expensive wrapping paper, use the comics from your local paper or magazine pages with holiday advertisements. This will not only save you money, but will also add a nice twist to the gift.
• Go shopping for next year's decorations in January. You will find the decorations that were being sold at the beginning of December for 50%-70% off in the beginning of January.
• Instead of going out to the movie theater with your family and friends, have a talent show. Everyone is responsible for 1-4 sketches, songs to sing, talents to perform, etc. and this way everyone is involved and you will be surprised just how talented your family and friends are. Sing karaoke with one of your favorite English songs!
• Turn your leftover food into a new meal. Check out this website with tips on what to do with your leftover turkey.
