Do you work? Money making tips?

I do work now. The only tip I can really give is, save a lot before you decide to spend on anything. Just spend wisely and save as much money as you can. It's always good to have a job you enjoy as well.

I am an IT manager.

Married to a teacher.

So no big bucks here, but we do alright.

money making tip? get a job, don't buy everything you want, invest a little and save a lot

LMAO

Absolutely not.

Teachers in the UK, while they do well, are pretty underpaid.

I also work in a school, i am essentially employed by the local authority, and they really don't pay well!

But in this climate, education is steady work. i could get a better job, but i can't guarantee it'll be there in a year. and working in education, while it's crap pay, pays better than the rock n roll

Canada eh? I know that the Canadian dollar is worth significantly less than the American dollar, but I don't know how a cost-of-living difference would factor in.UT_Wrestler

Well if the cost of living isn't a major deterrent, I might have to look into that.UT_Wrestler

Then again, our healthcare is free...so...

EDIT: Apparently, in Ontario, if you make $96k, you get taxed $25,916. I don't know how much more that is than America.

Several years ago it worth about half though...so it varies quite a but over timerawsavon

The conversion rate of US dollar against foreign currencies are going through a roller coaster, they can change quite significantlyover a short period of time. We deal with it on a daily basis and just couldn't help but marvel how wildly the rate changes

[QUOTE="rawsavon"] You also have to consider your time as well though. At some point, it becomes not worth your time to do it. (now saving a hundred dollars in 30 min is obviously worth it in most cases...but I am just talking about being frugal in general) You have to 'pay yourself' for the time you spend on stuff. For example, I can change my own oil, but it is not worth it...I make more in that time working than it would cost to pay to have it done + all the hassle. So at some point being frugal is not really cost-effective...unless one considers their personal time worthlessXilePrincess

My lady does it as well. We get the local newspaper they left at our door step and it hasabook ofcoupons in them and she'll just organize it. If done right you could literally save a bundle

What. Teachers don't make $90k in Canada after 10 years. You'd be lucky if you were making $60k after spending a good long while, and starting salaries are in the $30k-$40k region.DJ_Lae
