What’s the best way to make ends meet now that the credit crunch is starting to bite? One simple thing you can do is to put off purchases for the time being and hire whatever it is instead. For example, rather than buying yourself that pair of rollerblades you’ve always fancied having a go with, why not just hire some for now and see how you get on? You’ll save money now and may find that you don’t really need to buy any after all. Apply the same approach to other potential purchases, from clothes to cars, and before you know it, your finances will be right back on track. Take that, credit crunch!
