One of the saving money tips I want to make more than any other is the idea of living without paying rent.  Most of us just take for granted that we have to have this big mortgage or rent check that we have to come up with every month.  What if we didn’t have to come up with all this money every month?  What if we could keep that money, that we work so hard for, for our own?  Maybe we could get some new clothes or get the car fixed like we should have done two months ago, or maybe just add to a savings account.

There really are some ways to live without paying rent.  And they don’t have to include staying at the homeless shelter downtown.  I’m going to touch just briefly on some of them here, and you can see them in much more detail in my book, “Survive With Little or No Money”, soon to be available on this website, in which I divulge many more saving money tips throughout.

Some of the ways to live rent-free are more desirable than others.  Some of them fit for some people and not for others.  If you are already renting an apartment of some kind, the quickest way to reduce your rent would be to get some roommates.  Depending on who it is, it may be more desirable to get some people living with you who may travel a lot.  There are professionals who travel all week and may even be gone several weekends out of a month.  You may get some family members to move in with you if you can be comfortable with that.  This happens all of the time. 

Another way to cut down on rent expenses might be to rent a storage locker and store your furniture and just rent a room in a house.  If it were for long term, it might be even better to just sell the furniture.  This happens more often out of necessity than by choice, though it can be by choice.

One of the coolest ways to live for free is to house sit for people who are gone part of the year or who have their house on the market. Lots of people just have houses that they want someone living in just so they won’t look abandoned or empty.

 All of these methods require some sort of sacrifice.  But who knows how it might change your life.  I will keep posting saving money tips here for your information as my research continues.

Until Next time
