Ways to make Money during recession

I can put it another way that recession has its own advantages. It gives the courage to people to venture out of their current job and look for more exciting ones. It teaches them to control their personal finances and have secure financial freedom and independence. How to save money is the great question that most of us have at the moment. Will our saving be enough to survive the recession?

Here are the Top few Ways to make Money during recession:

1) Be Informed:  Be alert on what is happening in the market. If you know the market well then you can invest or re-invest in new growing ventures even at the time of recession. 
2) Have a budget and reserve for yourself:  If you do not already have a budget, then now is the time to create one.  Use your budget to determine and reduce your unnecessary expenses.   Pay down your debt and build a savings account of three to six months of your living expenses.  Get out of debt as fast as you can.  Your mortgage payment is likely to be your largest monthly bill.  You can reduce your mortgage with one of many options including downsizing, doubling up, and renting, refinancing or even foreclosing.
3) Reduce unnecessary costs:  Reduce your food costs, by eating out less and buying more food from the grocery store.  Plant a small fresh salad and vegetable garden this summer to increase your health and save some money.  Reduce window shopping, buy what is required.
All these three option seems that we should have a miser’s life.  If you think we have to enjoy life we need to spend on what ever we feel like. Then the fourth option might help.
Have you ever thought how recession is impacting you: - it does by reducing your spending power? The money you earn will not be sufficient enough to buy things you like. This situation may arise even when the market is very good.
We generally blame the company we work for and try changing companies for earning more. We negotiate on the money we get. But do you think that the companies pay you just because you bargain. Companies try to take the most out of you. They run a business and their balance sheet should match. Every penny they pay you they try to extract double. So you end up coming home late, working at night from home, your work life balance goes for a toss.
To fight our personal recession we either can save or get more revenue to spend or else increase our earnings. Increase our earning by not burning ourself more is the best and smart solution. How?
4) Create another Income Stream:  To do this you may consider taking a second job for a month or two or selling unneeded household items on eBay, but these options are not likely to bring in a significant enough income to really help you out.  What if you really want to be proactive and do something that won't just be a partial fix? 
Well, one of the most profitable ways to supplement and increase your income especially in our current economy may be with the Internet.  Many online businesses have low-start up cost, are convenient and you can work at home on your own schedule and still have the time to spend with your families and do the things you love.  Times like these are absolutely ideal for making the decision to start your own online business and take control of your financial future.  There is so much freedom and relief in not having to count on a pay check as your only means of providing for your family during times of financial and economic strain.
While the recession is certainly nothing to celebrate, it may give many enterprising people the opportunity and freedom to examine other methods of earning money.  For those people, it may prove to be a blessing in disguise and the beginning of a bright and prosperous future!
