DON”T SPEND IT!!!

Put in in savings account!
not checking or debit

Answer by Aisy
1) Try and save between 10-15% of your paycheck.
2) Start with the real important bills (rent, electricity etc)
3) Cut up your credit cards! Now! They are evil!
4) When shopping really think about what you’re buying and why! (do you really need it).

Just a few tips! Good luck:)

Answer by angie
I pay all my bills first, then buy all my necessities that I need which are important. I go to the Dollar Store in my hometown to buy products that are only $ 1.00 and other places I usually can buy something for the price of one. Whatever is left over…I use it sparingly.

Answer by The Dude
Get rid of stuff you don’t need. Family pets, cable, eat cheap meals, basically all the useless shit you can get rid of and still survive until your in a better situation.

Answer by Simi
Ok. First, find out exactly how much money you have right now. Sit down and make a page that lists all of your bills and their due dates. Deduct those amounts from your remaining balance. Set aside money for gas and groceries. When you go grocery shopping, go for things that are on sale or have coupons. Do not waste any money on any non-necessary items. When you buy food, aim for things that are fairly filling, but inexpensive (oatmeal, ramen, spaghetti etc). Continue budgets like this until you have a job. If you want to get more of a cushion, just in case, once you find a job continue this, however put any extra money into a saving account.

Answer by punklovr182
Make a list of the things you pay every month. See what are the things that are not necessary, or that you can limit yourself on. Ex: I had to cut back on my tv, and pause my netflix account. After that check out your utilities, remember to turn off water or lights that are not in use. Also save gas, instead of going to the movies or club, stay in instead and invite friends over. I know it’s not a lot but at least it can help you a little bit.

Answer by Roc
It should cost nothing to get published…if it does, do not publish it there. Also, the publisher will pay you for your novel, so there should be nothing but gain. There is a book that you can ask your librarian for that will give you an extensive list on agents. You must first get an agent, or at least it helps a great deal. Good luck with publishing.

Answer by mlee
Join a free online writers’ group to learn about the business, get resource information, and support and feedback from other writers. Join more than one group. Warning: Avoid online groups that have their own self-publishing companies. Visit one and see the difference between this group and these two links. These two have many professional writers as members, but you don’t have to be one to join. Both, again, are free to join:

http://community.writersdigest.com/

http://writermag.com/

Here are the basic steps:

http://www.ehow.com/how_5242998_write-publish-book.html

Unless you are published by a bigger publishing house, you’ll be resposible for most of the marketing.

Writing is a craft like any other. Get as much education, training, and practice as possible to help you hone and refine your skills.

Answer by Luke Sanby
You never pay, your Agent and the Publishing company take a percentage of your earnings.

You need to find an Agent before you can approach a publishing company.

We have 2 children aged 11 and 8.
We are going to Almoradi between Alicante and Murcia. We are SC, we will have a car for the duration, and we are driving to Barcelona for the last few days.

Answer by g3mg3m.
You didn’t state whether you’re going self catering, all inclusive, half board etc. also, if you put where you were going people may know some cheap/free days out..fun for all the family…

I’ll come back soon & try to help once more information is given.

Answer by Ash
rent an apartment as apposed to staying in a hotel and buy local produce to cook. the fruit and veg is very fresh. buy from locals rathers than the pakistani’s even though they maybe cheaper as they do not keep the spanish tranditions of closing for siesta and sundays.

there are lots of natural parks to walk through in spain and some are really beautiful.

the person above is right, you haven’t provided enough info.

Answer by Emma
I live 2 minutes from Almoradi and there are a few things to keep the kids entertained… You are only 20 minutes from the beach when in spain do as the spanish do take lunch and drinks in a cooler with u.
In quesada (a-7 towards Torrevieja Norte) there is an aqua park its the cheapest 1 around and not to big that the kids can just wonder off…
Also in quesada there is a bar where you can have a drink and relax but upstairs there is a play-area for kids (ball pit and soft equipment).
OK the drive to Barcelona might be quiet expensive as its about 550km from here to Barcelona. If you are coming back then it might be worth getting the train from San Isidro.
You will only be an hour from Benidorm and its well worth a trip to terra mitica, terra natura or the water park.

The Almoradi market on a saturday is worth going to, to get all you fruit and veg and prezzies for the kids to take back…

In San isidro (take exit 733 off A7 follow signs) there is a fresh water pool that you pay a few €s for the day.

If you need any more info mail me i will be happy to help
