This year is a hard year for most countries because those baseless capitalist economics done by the rich countries make another slump. My country announced numerous strategies to save its own state, as well as other countries, but none of them are directly related to the citizens, which is quite disappointing. At least the scholarship money was not cut at all.
But then, to prevent my parents from scolding me, I have to save money so that I have some money left in my bank account. Some of these tricks may have legal risks, but I suggest you do it as a last resort (Actually, I'm not doing all of them, but for the sake of everyone, I list them all):
-Scan (not photostat) books from your friends. There are free tools of scanning to make the pages in .pdf format. If you are lazy, search for pdf books in the net through file sharing website or 1 click hosting websites (like Megaupload/Rapidshare/Mediafire/etc.).
-Don't buy drinks, fill it using free water dispenser (or those water machines which give you 1 liter for 10 cents if you want healthier choice).
-Don't snack or eat supper. If you insist, stock biscuits. You can get a big pack at a cheaper price than buying lots of small packages.
-Wash you clothes with your bare hands.
-If you crave for video games, get freeware or play flash games and you'll support the independent games industry while saving your pocket money without infringe any copyrights. But I tend to get them through 1 click hosting websites sometimes as the game developers can't afford to get a hosting. Sometimes, Vector (a japanese website) is a good source to get free doujin (Japanese counterpart of independent) games.
-Take care of your health. Healthcare now is expensive nowadays.
-If you are merely scribbling, scribble at the cover or inside cover (and back ones as well) of your test pads or notebooks. That will make you utilize more of your paper resource. I know some may object this, but those spaces are not prepared for you for making it blank.
-Get yourself a bisphenol-A free polycarbonate bottle and use it to fill your water. It is safe and can be used for weeks, if not months or years.
-Walk/get public transport whenever possible. I'm the type who willing to have 20 minute walks.
-Use public Wifi/cable whenever possible.
I guess this is it. Any thoughts? Don't forget to go to the
