How to Beat Inflation in Four Steps

 

Food prices have risen 10.8% according to the government Bureau of Labor Statistics. Gas prices have also risen considerably. I'm going to show you how to trim your food bill by quite a bit and how to get more money coming into your household. 

I have been a bachelor most of my life. I was raised like a feral wolf boy, shuffled around from house to house due to a challenging family situation. I learned to survive.

Before we start, its important to realize that many of you are end user consumers. It means you buy things that other people produce. It also means that you are subject to inflation and cost measures. There isn't a lot you can do to influence prices. However you can still affect:

1. How you spend and use goods
2. How much money comes INTO your household 

I'll show you how to be an early stage producer, meaning that YOU sell things that people buy. 

A few years back, I went into full entrepreneurship. No job, no boss. Just created a lot of income streams and started a group called Design Your Paycheck. I teach over 35 income streams that are VERY reachable by others. Today you'll learn a few. Lets get started. 

Shop Better
Finding specialty grocery stores can save you BIG. The Pancho Villa market by my house sells HUGE packs of chicken thighs for $3.50. They have a FULL section of low cost produce. The 99 Cent Store has lunch meat, cheese, veggies, fruits, and canned goods at HUGE savings. Remember that canned goods have huge amounts of sodium so buy sparingly. Check your weekly circulars for special deals and get to know which stores specialize in certain items. 

Completely eliminate: Bread, Cookies, crackers, desserts, chips. I know this may not go over well at first but they're expensive and really bad for you. You can find AWESOME recipes to cook in their place. More on that in the next section. 

ALWAYS buy the store brand. You don't need to pay for fancy labels or branding. Its the SAME FOOD. 


Cook Better 
This is where I shine. A few years ago, I started ironically going to the dollar store and making restaurant quality meals. 

For those of you that aren't great cooks, get an air fryer. You can throw in a COMPLETELY frozen piece of meat and have it fully ready to eat in about 40 min. Having a crockpot can completely change the game for families. Five hours before dinner time, throw in:

Small side of beef
Carrots
Celery
Onions
1 pack Lipton's Soup Mix

Don't add water, turn to high and let sit for 5 hours. 

As a snack, cucumbers sprinkled with Taijin and lime juice is REALLY good and kids love it. 

If you're feeding kids, sit them down and talk to them about foods they like and foods they hate. You can come to some very interesting compromises once you have their tastes down without turning it into a sugar fest. 

Earn More
Creating income streams is not nearly as hard as you would think. You can make Ebooks and mini courses on Canva.com for FREE. Take the tutorials and learn this amazing program and start getting creative. My very first course was a 5 day email sequence. Took me maybe 3 hours to create. Earned $1200 in 5 days. That's 3 hours of work. $1200. I didnt use ads, just let people know what I had created and what they would get in the course. 

Now imagine if you dial in on a topic that people want to learn about. You create an ebook for sale, a mini course, teach a workshop once a month on it, and start a paid membership site. You can VERY EASILY bring in a few hundred a month as you start and over time, the sales increase. 

You can start a media platform and sell interviews and social media promotion. You just have to stay consistent and let people know about it.

Spend Better 

- Get rid of cable and your sports package. Both utterly worthless.

- Going out to nightclubs on the weekends needs to go as well. 

- We are approaching summer. Frozen towels and a good fan are FAR cheaper than A/C 

- You don't need the newest Android or Iphone the day it comes out. Learn some restraint. Over time, the price will reduce dramatically. 

- Cut down on alcohol and booze. If you need them for stress relief, try yoga or going outside more.
