SO... you need MONEY? (http://www.thelivingmoon.com/forum/index.php?topic=3163.0)
;D
Hubby is very into the scrap and it's been great that neighbors and such call
to ask if he wants this or that.. we have the space so he makes piles and
when he has a pick up of something ..he checks the prices and goes to
whichever place is paying top dollar that day
this last 6 months have brought changes .. what with idiots stealing copper from houses
and the scrap folks now have your drivers license and s.s. on file....also what they have paid you
soo we are crossing our fingers that they don't have to give that info to the tax folk....sigh
auctions are another great way to get stuff at bargain prices... you just have to know when to
sit on your hands and stop bidding
http://www.auctionzip.com/cgi-bin/auctionsearch.cgi?
they even have the pics on line of what's there so you can ceheck it out from home
great info Z....thanks

in addition to making it, there's also saving it.
like extreme couponing (with moderation lol).
yard sales,
second hand stores,
salvation army stores,
good will stores,
amazon,
ebay
after holiday specials. after a holiday, stores often have bags of holiday specific items super cheap, such as decorations, associated candies, greeting cards, and etc.
food selection. if you're on a strict budget and don't have a medical reason to have a special diet, you can come up with some extremely cost effective meals. here are some food items i know to be inexpensive
spaghetti noodles. considering how many meals you can make from them, their cost is extremely low. it's like 99 cents a box before coupons and a box can make several meals. not much nutrition however, so might want to add something to it, like cheese, or tomato sauce or italian herbs, etc.
old fashioned slow cooking oatmeal. the kind in the large cylindrical container. can be eaten as is or with butter, sugar, brown sugar, fruit, cheese, etc. this is the singlemost nutritious food for the price and volume, with tons of fiber (if you get the slow cooking kind, like 5 minute oatmeal). has a loooong shelf life. if you don't like the fibrous texture, just add it to the water right at the start. don't wait for the water to be boiling to add it.
ramen noodle soup in multi-pack. open package, remove spice packet. make the noodles later if you want. use the spice packet to make an impromptu, low cost, soup. having a bag of dehydrated veggies on hand, could be useful here as you can add some to the soup broth while cooking. you then have noodles remaining to make and add some spaghetti sauce or equivalent. it's 2 meals in one package at like 25 cents or less, a pack, that's 12 cents a meal.
rice. oh the things you can make with rice are endless, but most importantly, it's also inexpensive if you get it in super big bags, such as from oriental supply shops. you can get huge bags of jasmine rice for example, several pounds worth, for cheap considering the amount of meals you can get out of it.
dehydrating fruits in their season, particularly fruits that are on sale because they are too ripe or that you can pick from a tree/vine/plant, and dehydrating them to add to meals or as snacks, later.
instead of buying several different items for various household or personal care things, try to consolidate them down into a couple things that are multipurpose and inexpensive. examples are:
generic dishsoap, larger the size, typically the better the savings. can be used to clean dishes, counters, clothing, floors, stove tops, tables, car wash, sidewalk/driveway wash, as hand soap, bath bubbles or even shampoo. about the only things you can't clean well with dishsoap are mirrors, toilet bowls (and occassionally sinks).
for mirrors you just need an unused coffee filter, water and elbow grease (et.al, your own labor). toilet bowls, just using the toilet brush after each flush can keep most problems at bay. it wouldn't hurt to add some dishsoap, just don't expect dishsoap to solve the problem if you only clean it once a week or month or something. also, occassionally dousing it with boiling hot water, for germ control.
so far, no feasible and inexpensive replacement for toilet paper has been found (if you don't count things like grass, plant leaves, tree leaves, etc and those are not flushable) outside of some french butt washing inventions (a tad expensive to install in the american bathroom).
some items you honestly can do without, honest:
fingernail polish.
hair conditioner.
make-up.
perfume.
cologne.
jewelry.
after shave.
Was getting to that part :D
hubby and i collected aluminum soda and beer cans in utah, back in the late 80s early 90s. they had aluminum can recycling machines. it was 5 cents a pound refund. :/
so we worked pretty hard for it and often ended up smelling like beer. completely turned me off from recycling scrap metal.
i think the most we ever made, doing that, in one run, was after a fourth of july celebration was held at a local park. we made 26 dollars. we were recycling cans for hours and hours. no telling how many it took to make 26 dollars worth but it was alot.
just commenting on your stuff as i read it and think about it.
i like the idea of using metal detectors. it's more like a treasure hunt and less like "i'm a poor bum who has to dig in public garbage bins for aluminum cans." people gave us some strange looks, let me tell ya.
when we moved to florida from utah, i was so use to cutting corners, i knew where every last penny of our money went to and there was never any change in the couch cushions.
i was also adept at finding junk in people's trash. when we moved into base housing, i would regularly go thru people's trash on garbage day. always found useful stuff, but i wasn't looking for stuff to sell, rather for stuff we could use in our home. like furnitue, artwork, old curtains, plants, electronic devices, books. the base always had lots of garage sales on weekends, and i found some of the best stuff, like things from all over the world, great books on interesting subjects, and etc.
i think they made it so you could only have a yard sale on one day of the month on base, and it had to be like a sunday, because the traffic from off base people coming to peruse base gargage sales was bogging down traffic in housing areas. first few times guys couldn't get to work on time or respond as quickly to emergency call to arms, and the base changed the rules.
florida is a treasure trove of garage sales. the weather tends to be warm enough to have garage sales when not in the rainy seasons (august-october and february-may), and you can find them almost any day of the week, with weekends being the most likely. people still try to have garage sales in the rainy seasons too. so it's pretty much year round garage sales.
the beaches have been combed over by metal detectors but after a rather high tide such as those that precurse or follow a passing hurricane, new stuff always shows up. problem is there are a few rules about metal detecting on beaches in florida. for example, for about a month (in july i think), sea turtles come on shore, lay eggs, and when their babies hatch, the beaches are pretty much off limits, to keep people from inadvertently or intentionally, killing baby sea turtles who are trying to get to the ocean as fast as their little legs can carry them. any disruption can mess up their little internal radars and they can end up going the wrong way and dying before they ever get near the water.
RE: pomegranates, yum. :D
can pomegranates be dehydrated? :D seems losing the water would leave only the seed inside, which is kinda useless. wonder if there's a way to trap that tasty juice, or its flavor, in a dehydration process.

True enough but today its .55 cents a pound and your neighbors will save em and bag en for you No need to dig through trash. But if you have nothing, even $26.00 is good. How many times have I heard Amy say she has less than a dollar to her name?
You do what you have to, when you need to. Cans are at the lower end of the options... BUT
Many times I have taken that extra cash from scrap metal and used that cash to buy gold and silver castings for making jewelry. Then selling that and you get the picture... turning trash into gold, all without bothering the government :D
QuoteThat once a debt has been written off, you are LEGALLY off the hook, even if ethically you know you owe it :D
Those who devour usury will not stand except as stands one whom the devil by his touch has driven to madness. That is because they say: Trade is like usury: but Allah has permitted trade and forbidden usury.... Allah will deprive usury of all blessing, but will give increase for deeds of charity, for He loves not any ungrateful sinner.... O you who believe, fear Allah and give up what remains of your demand for usury, if you are indeed believers. If you do it not, take notice of war from Allah and His messenger, but if you repent you shall have your capital sums; deal not unjustly, and you shall not be dealt with unjustly. And if the debtor is in difficulty, grant him time til it is easy for him to repay. But if you remit it by way of charity, that is best for you if you only knew. -- Surah al Baqarah, verse 275-280.
Your most ancient texts, like the Bible, talk about the evils of usury. (Meaning lending money at interest). These texts say that usury is the beginning of a chain that leads to destruction. Our suggestion is not to borrow money at interest -- the process itself is based on fictional wealth and is really just a gamble. It promotes disharmony within any system. But everyone has their own choice and it is up to you to decide what is right for you.
The ideal circumstance is to pay off all your debts and stop borrowing. That will take the strain off the system and off of you. It will free your wealth to be ultimately used in other directions.-- Sasha (http://www.worldtrans.org/lyssa/tape138.html)
Usury is one of the worst and most fundamental forms of evil in existence. I consider myself morally obligated to repay the principle (that is, the original amount) of a debt; but never interest. Interest is primarily used as a means of control. Of course, never getting into debt helps; and AFAIK, I am debt free. You are welcome to hold me in as much contempt as you want, Zorgon; but being what is considered a loser in most conventional terms, economically speaking, does have
some benefits associated with it. ;)

problem is, if we didn't have a way to borrow money, we'd all be starving to death. certainly the muslims are not gonna loan a bunch of pagans, christians, jews and atheists, money unless it has strings of some kind attached, and strings are just as bad as interest. particularly if the strings are connected to things like forced shar'ia, forced abaya, and what's that tax you have to pay muslims if you are a kaffir? forget the name of it. same same.

Undo...is it possible for me to talk about
anything without you becoming offended, paranoid, and bringing completely irrelevant material into the conversation?
It was an example of a scriptural prohibition against usury. The only reason why you are reacting like this, is because I got it from the Qu'ran. If I'd taken it from Hindu scriptures or the Bible, you wouldn't be reacting in this manner.
I'm being reminded of why I never wanted to get into another relationship, after my last ex-girlfriend. I could make the most innocuous statements which had nothing to do with her at all, and she was ingenious at finding ways to interpret them as being about herself, and then become offended by them.
Stop it.

perhaps, considering our last discussion, you would've had the wisdom to use a different example. instead, you deliberately picked a sensitive subject such as it is, and then yelled at me for responding (as you knew i would). point is, usury or strings attached, same thing. i'm not going to give one guy the go ahead, without calling it like it is on the other guy. just cause it's not politically correct, doesn't mean it isn't true. don't sqaure off on me. i'm entirely too old and grumpy to be bossed about by some young whipper snapper :D
america is a debt driven economy. if we have no access to new ways to create debt, we would die enmasse from starvation and riots. not my idea of the way to solve the problem. i agree, it needs to be solved, but claiming it's righteously outlawed (jesus didn't like it either), while quoting from a book like koran, is an insult to my intelligence.

hi there!
i hope you get lots of funding. i recall reading the story of a former communist, here in the usa. his parents were prominent in socialist circles in nyc. he was personally involved in demonstrations, bombings, and all the trappings that went along with being a good marxist in the capitalist west.
he said, i realized that i was using capitalist money to live well, eat well, and at the same time, spitting in the faces of the people who paid to pave the roads i drove on to my protests. i realized i was an absolute hypocrite.
i thought "no, you weren't a hypocrite. you were a guy who saw a problem that needed to be fixed (capitalism works, but this ain't capitalism. capitalism has no strings attached. everyone has the same opportunities. there's no, "you are more worthy than he is, because you're female and he's male." or "you are more worthy than he is, because he's white and your ___________ (fill in any nationality or genetic heritage besides caucasian)." and so you took the most direct route offered by our learned professors -- mass slavery (communism). "
don't let anyone make you feel bad about what you're doing. you aren't being a hypocrite. you're making due in order to get to what works, whatever that is. personally, i think social programs should be handled at the community level, and the federal gov should just butt out. i mean, look what all that centraliized (communist) power has done for us today. we're staring down the barrel of a race war of epic proportions, and the gov ain't on our side (in fact, they ain't on anyone's side).
Not sure if this applies to anywhere else but Canada but this looks very promising to those that are struggling...

perhaps, considering our last discussion, you would've had the wisdom to use a different example.
If you are going to make a generalised assumption that Islamic scripture, in its' entirety, has absolutely no worth, then that is not my problem. If someone made the decision to consider the Bible worthless on the basis of bad behaviour by individual Christians, you would likely consider that absurd. As a result, you are engaging in a double standard.
Quoteinstead, you deliberately picked a sensitive subject such as it is, and then yelled at me for responding (as you knew i would).
No, I did neither of those things. I had previously read that usury is commanded against in the texts of several religions. The Qu'ran was the only one in which I could find specific mention of it. I genuinely do consider your reaction excessively emotive and irrational, and I was not expecting it.
To re-iterate; the assumption that Islamic scripture
as a whole is worthless, on the basis of imperialistic and violent behaviour by contemporary Muslims, is rationally indefensible. If individual Muslims actually paid more attention to their theology, they would not believe that they have a divine imperative to act as the scourge of the rest of humanity, as they currently do.
Islam is
not completely irredeemable. I used to think it was myself, but then I actually looked into the matter. The Qu'ran
does contain some exhortations to violent and negative behaviour, yes; but the Hadiths at least contain admonishments to extremely positive and compassionate behaviour as well. The Charter of Medina also offers one of the earliest examples I've seen of encouragement for religious pluralism, believe it or not.
The problem is ethnic, not theological. At the risk of sounding racist, the Arabs and the Jews have largely always been barbaric and violent ethnic groups, comparitively speaking; which is the entire reason why Islamic theology contains the degree of legalism and emphasis on social control that it does. You will remember that Pat Condell mentioned the rapists in question, as generally originating either from Nigeria or the Middle East. Although Hinduism does have some problematic areas, (such as tantrism) its' theology has a greater emphasis on love and less on punishment than either Judaism or Islam, and this was because the Indians had a correspondingly greater capacity for behaving themselves.
Quotedon't sqaure off on me. i'm entirely too old and grumpy to be bossed about by some young whipper snapper :D
Age in and of itself, carries no authority with me whatsoever. Demonstrated intelligence and/or wisdom does. Those two things are not automatically one and the same. You can be as old as you like; if your behaviour is foolish, then you are going to get called on it. The fact, by itself, that you are probably going to die sooner than I am, is entirely irrelevant; especially considering that there are no guarantees in that regard.
Quoteamerica is a debt driven economy. if we have no access to new ways to create debt, we would die enmasse from starvation and riots. not my idea of the way to solve the problem.
The way to solve the problem is to move away from Capitalism; although that is not going to happen, for as long as a majority continue to believe that Capitalism is something we need
more of, rather than less.
QuoteI agree, it needs to be solved, but claiming it's righteously outlawed (jesus didn't like it either), while quoting from a book like koran, is an insult to my intelligence.
That is your opinion, and one which I consider erroneous. As a result, provided that I do not attack you personally, I do not hold myself responsible, for the effect that my countering it, may have on your emotions.
this isn't a capitalist country. there's no capitalism to move away from. it use to be a capitalist country but it isn't anymore and hasn't been for like 100 years. we were taken over by social marxists a long time ago, and i think their brothers-in-arms (social fascists) have been right along for the ride. this is not, i repeat, not, a capitalist country. central banks are not the hallmark of capitalism but of communism. powerful federal governments are the hallmark of communism.
the whole "capitalism is doing this" spiel, is just smoke and mirrors.
i think i can prove that hitler and stalin were actually in cahoots with each other. the whole thing was planned. and what was their big social experiment? depopulation of some in favor of others.
what did we get told in the west? that population was out of control and we should limit the size of our families for the sake of the planet. to punctuate it, they made quality of life laws that were so strictly absurd, you didn't dare have large families else you might inadvertently break some law like the wearing of seat belts (johnny took his seat belt off so he could poke timmy in the rib, and you didn't catch it cause victoria was slapping pam's dolly and pam was screaming about. cop pulls you over, ticket cause johnny doesn't have his seat belt on and you have too many kids in your car. so you buy a van and now you have less food to feed the kids.
and the environmentalist down the street gripes at you when you encounter her in the corner store, for having a huge gas guzzling vehicle and too many kids.). but it's okay if everyone else does it. (muslims having huge families with multiple wives). just not whitey. if whitey does it, the crap hits the fan, people melt down and you become the scum of the earth.
so we whities in the west learned to curtail our baby making, in interest of the environment, our pocket books (cause you need lots and lots of money to properly raise children in western societies) and in the best interest of our kids. while mao was telling the chinese people to make as many new babies as possible, we were told to cease and desist. and our law makers, make sure minorities and immigrant populations have much laxer requirements in this regard ..(they'll just scream racism anyway, and blow up the local synagogue or public school to prove their point).
It looks like any thread turns out to be about religion and/or politics. :(
Back on topic, for those on this side of the Atlantic (Europe), the European Union has several projects per year to finance some kind of activity (commercial, educational, cultural, etc.), so it's a good thing to get a look at that for those in EU countries.
From what I have see, it's a shame there isn't a simple way of selling food from Portugal to the US, as the prices are much lower here. I just looked to see the price of 1/2 kg of spaghetti and it costs 0.39 Euros (something like 0.49 Dollars), so if the box undo11 was speaking about is around 1/2 kg the price is half of the one she mentioned. One thing that we also use a lot here in Portugal and that's cheap is canned tuna (.74 Euros for a 120 gr can). I had some for lunch, along with some pasta (I don't know what's the name in English, see the photo here (http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r66/armap/massa-napolitana-cotovelos-500g.jpg)). Cheap and good. :)

Awesome thread Zorgon, minus the religious crap. Pomegranate in a food dehydrator, bet that's good!
I saved a lot of money by making my place more energy efficient, sealing drafts, vacuuming the coils of my refrigerator, and using solar screens. This knocked at least $40-$50 off my monthly bill! I also sealed the HVAC vents in one room I hardly use, and ensure the system always has a fresh filter. I eat more meals at home since eating out is so expensive. One thing that helped me was clearing clutter, it seems the older I get he less I want to own... so much stuff I never use... gone! I appreciate this thread, when it comes to getting money, I'm trying to follow my passions. Giving up $60K a year to NOT be in a cubicle is a trade off I'm willing to endure, it means I am absolutely out of debt. Debt = slavery in my mind, especially that incurred by whimsical spending, junk accumulation.

No, I was neither shaken nor stirred by that response. It's fairly standard for those who have issues regarding old age, to attempt to use said age as the fulcrum of a demand for assumed credibility, as a last resort. As I said to undo, however, wisdom and chronological seniority are not indivisible characteristics. As a result, while wisdom and intelligence are celebrated, senescence by itself, is not. ;)
