Learning to live in a bad economic climate is tough going, the Institute for Studies say people do not want to work from the age of zero, but what if life could be made cheaper by adapting a few habits? Here's my 10 picks of some adaptable habits:
1. Cut your own hair – Ever thought about it? Buy yourself a clipper or a pair of scissors.
2. Scavenge supermarket dumpsters – It isn't stealing when something has been thrown away.
3. Plant identification and foraging – Pick up a plant guide and start picking your fruit and veg!
4. Catch your own protein – Go fishing! Or simply raise some chickens in your back garden.
5. Live near all your needs – Make life convenient and travel less.
6. Sell your skills – Good writer? Painter? Carpenter? I.T. Expert? Go out and sell your talent.
7. Find free stuff online – Gumtree.com, hotukdeals.co.uk, freecycle.org – Freebies are endless.
8. Sell your own food – Start growing, bake cakes or anything deliciously grabbable.
9. Don't own a pet – Babysit them – literary.
10. Charity shopping – Designer labels, big or small – they're all there!
