twice. Thanks to recession our spending income has shrunk. The art is

yourself whether you really need the product or not? If the answer is
positive, then go ahead and buy the product. Otherwise, refrain from
buying it.
Save: Recession has taught us valuable lessons – the most valuable one being the art of saving money during recession. Even 2 years back, not many of us were used to the concept of saving.

We never know when one might meet unforeseen circumstances and require those funds.
Stop Plastic: Stop using plastic credit cards for purchasing goods. Credit card increases one’s spending capacity. As a result, people start to spend beyond their means. Later on at the time of payment, they realize that they do not have adequate money to pay off the bills.
