@ Poggie

You don’t have to catch up on your occasional alcohol. Make a plan on quitting alcohol or just increase the “occasional” period to be much longer.

@ Jaribu

Not a bad idea and that STRICTLY applies to people who are married. Anyone else ignore both jaribu’s posts.

@ Mozenrat

Yeah,you might end up using much water that way,but depends on what you deliberately want to do. In some instances it seems funny showering with your wife for the purposes of saving water. But hey,we are trying to survive the tough times.

@ Djinn

Brilliant idea.

@ Leona

Try it out and you’ll figure out why. ONLY if you are married.

@ Skodhe

Where are these smart buses,please give details of how they charge and all. I happen to be behind news on that.

@ Ji

I totally agree.

@ shoshoba

Funny but true

I think the other best thing would be to consider the best kinds of investments for your situation that can survive at this point in time. I am sorry for those who got messed with the decline in the stock market. What do you think are some lucrative areas in this times. I know that at every situation in life there are opportunities. I see people are selling water,opening butcheries for the cheap meat. Umbrellas will be so much on sale right now. If you can get cheap ways of importing generators,you are on top. What other ways????

Make telephone calls just to get quick info e.g nikupate wapi??/wi ha? see u kesho then.

Avoid unnecessary phrases or sentences in fone conversations .This goes to our kuyo pals eti the first statement goes like:atiriri!! Do do waste money on atiririris



Also avoid doing so much internet from home,It takes much amount of cash

@ Akowally A place like Rongai. you buy a card at 60/-. When matatus charge 150/- or 100/. they charge a fixed rate of 50/-. it is a computerised bus. You only enter after it has read your card. When you have reached your destination,your money is deducted from your card.

@ jaribu,

it appears you are a champ in this 'together' business....does eating together save food??? does travelling together in a mat save fare??? does drinking together save beer??? just thinking..

@skodhe

I really hope they put those things in every route. I am really interested in that. How many routes are they in and where are their stages in town.

@ Kaigangio

That is a really funny one. You have made my mid morning.

@ Ericks



I understand what you are going through. I think with proper budgeting,being economical,and using the tips from all these posts,you will be a much happier man.

Do your budget well. You can start with an expense tracker to show how much you use on different items on a daily basis. After this,you'll know how much you put in good use and how much you waste.

From this you can define your priorities,do a budget with your wife and things will smoothen up.

All the best.

Harvest a lot of water during these rainy days. If you don't have those big tanks it is time to buy them. Some areas have stopped water rationing and water pressure is good. This can make people content and stop saving water. Strike when the iron is hot.

When we pray in praise to God,he makes a difference in our lives.
