Recession Means Turning Your Stuff Into Money
When times get tough you need to toughen up and get rid of all that fat. You know the stuff that you bought with your credit cards that has been sitting there since buying them. If you've been wondering about how to fund your new business then turn your stuff into cash.
This recession and the Madoff scandal has even the very wealthy tightening their belts. The other day there was an article about how people's standard of living has fallen and yet we are still fat with stuff.
What you need to do is sell all of your excess stuff. Be really ruthless and put everything that is for sale in one room or garage. Utilize free online classifieds like Craigslist or Kijiji and post your stuff for sell. Take good pictures and write appealing descriptions and start selling. Those sites are not just great places to list things but places to find someone to trade with for things or services you need.
Trading is an ancient system of getting things you want in exchange for things someone else wants. Maybe back then it would have taken four chickens to give you a side of ham but the concept is the same here. Maybe you are good with making websites but bad with graphic design, try trading someone for the work.
Recessions means being smarter with your money. It also means getting rid of your "fat" and becoming lean and mean to win the war against recession.
