   First, there are not get rich quick schemes. There are ways to get rich but they take time and effort. Even though, don’t be discouraged. Second, I subscribe to the Dave Ramsey mentality. Take a look at his website, there are a lot of free resources. Plus, you should be able to get his book from your local library for free.

   cut out fast food/restaurants
   cut down on your grocerie bill by: buying generic brand, buy frozen vegetables instead of fresh, cut down on snacks/impulse purchases by doing a grocery list, peruse flyers for good sales/coupons, 2x week have a really cheap supper like a box of KD and some frozen broccoli – still healthy and balanced and will save you lots of $.
   do activities that are free like playgrounds, play catch/kick soccer ball around, board games, libraries, invite their friends over instead of movie theatres, kids play centres, zoos/museums.
   cut out all non-essential purchases like clothing, toys, home decor.
   I know it’s hard, but it’s good training and it’s only temporary.
   Good luck with your job search.
