Regurgitated Information

I'm amazed at the amount of financial blogs out there these days. There must be dozens and dozens millions upon millions of them in all different languages, symbols and formats. One thing I've noticed is the insane amount of regurgitated information that keeps resurfacing day in and day out. If I see one more "Top ten ways to save more money" post I'm going to lose it! There's only so many ways to squeeze money to make it last, that after a while you go from living life to scrounging the streets looking for lost change.

So instead of spitting out boring, common sense infused jargon, I'm going to give you some new and exciting ways to save money and increase your cash flow.

Collect Empty Bottles 
Old world flavor meets new age environmentalism in the exciting event of collecting bottles. Normally reserved for the uber thrifty and vagabonds, you too can participate in this low demand, high reward venture. One empty bottle is worth .10 cents in Alberta. If you would collect a mere 100,000 empty bottles you would walk away with a cool $10,000 dollars in cold hard cash, tax free of course. Already have a full time job or are just too lazy? Why not have your kids do it for you! Nothing gets kids more motivated then competing for their parents love, so why not use it to your advantage. Not only is collecting bottles good for the environment, you are also taking jobs away from thousands of bums, forcing them to find permanent employment and finally contributing to society.



Cut Your Own Hair
Tired of being left out of conversations at work? Why not save money AND be the talk of the office by cutting your own hair. No need to pay a trained professional excess money to for such a meager task. All you need is a set of clippers and your imagination; the possibilities are endless! Not coordinated enough to do it yourself? Why not ask your wife to help out. You can cut her hair as well and save even more money! As the clippings hit the floor, just imagine your new found popularity and how excited your co-workers will be to see you during your next presentation. I smell a promotion!







Steal Borrow Your Neighbors Wi-Fi
Tired of paying outrageous internet bills? Why not create an internet connection out of thin air! Yes thanks to modern technology, the internet is whizzing past your face, and possibly causing tumors, at the speed of light! All you need is a wire-less network card and a questionable conscience and you too can share in the fun of free internet. Don't worry, your neighbor has plenty of bandwidth to go around, they won't miss it one bit. If your neighbor has put up a password protected connection, try using the password "admin". Bingo, we have a winner!

Great take on saving money. I practice the art of cutting my own hair. It gets easier after the first few times.

I cut my own hair (wife helps). Keep it short. Shampoo cost is down. Short and simple hair, less trouble in life. Feels really good.
