Answer:
Here are some things you can do when money is short:
- Think about things you’ve been spending money on that you can do without – movies, magazines, music, gas, or sodas.
- Think about ways to earn money – mowing lawns, baby-sitting, shoveling snow, or delivering papers.
- Think about ways to stretch the money your family does have – sew or mend clothing, garden, baby-sit for younger brothers and sisters, prepare meals.
Here are some ways you can help your family save on bills. Even little things help:
- Turn off the lights, television, stereo, and curling iron when not in use.
- Make fewer phone calls and keep them short.
- Take shorter showers to cut down on the hot water used.
- Dry clothes on clothes lines rather than in a dryer when possible.
- Take clothes out of the dryer immediately to cut down on ironing.
- Hang your clothes up after wearing so they won’t need to be washed as often and will last longer.
- Don’t stand with the refrigerator door open while deciding what to eat.
- Drink water, milk and juices, which are healthier and can be less expensive than soda.
- Hang up the towel after your shower/bath so it can dry and be used again.
- Turn off water while brushing your teeth, turn on (small stream) for rinsing.
- Use less shampoo – only enough to clean the hair (too much lather is wasteful)
- Buy generic brands of personal care products.
- Don’t waste school supplies – use both sides of paper.
- Don’t be wasteful with food.
- Ride your bike or walk to places whenever possible.
- Give gifts to friends and family of your time and energy rather than money.
Here are some things you can do to help relieve stress and tension at home:
- Think about the things you do that make other people in your family angry. Find ways to avoid doing those things.
- Do extra chores; help out without being asked.
- Clean up after yourself.
- Avoid picking fights.
- Spend time caring for younger brothers/sisters.
- Share your possessions and school supplies with other family members. Learn to be generous with your time also.
- Keep a good sense of humor.
- Be enthusiastic about trying new foods.
- If a task needs to be done and you can do it, do it; it will be appreciated.
- Treat your family with kindness. Be courteous using “please and thank you” generously.
- Accept your parents decisions in a positive manner.
- No matter what your age, there are things you can do to help at home during tough times.
