Having given up a well paid job to follow my dreams as a Holistic Therapist I have found a few ways to make money ‘stretch’ a little further.

It’s surprising how many ‘opportunities’ come our way when we ‘ask’ (God, Angels, Buddha etc). When ‘asking’ be open to all possibilities. Opportunities for ‘more income’ for example could come in the guise of a ‘gift’ or an opportunity to serve in exchange for something else, discounts, or financial help from a friend or family member.

As companies prefer to give discounts to new customers, it is worth shopping around for financial products such as insurances (house, car), internet providers, mobile phone companies. They usually give a good discount to attract new customers. .

The internet is a great place to get discounts or freebies and there are many sites giving voucher codes for a discount or free delivery or samples. Here are but a few:
