Costs-Cutting Measures

With the increase in the cost of living worldwide and the salary still the same, its just practical to find ways to reduced some of the expenses. To cope up, we recently converted our car into LPG Gas Auto which creates a safe, easy, and best of all much cheaper fuel than petrol or diesel. It is typically at least 50% cheaper than other automotive fuels and is environmentally friendly. With the conversion, we saves at least 60% on gasoline cost.

As the price of heating with oil increased, we now used pellets heating system. One liter of oil is now 97 cents and 2 kilos of wood pellets which is equivalent to 1 liter of oil is 34 cents. In the process we saved at least 3000 euro heating cost every year.

Other ways to cut our expenses are:
1. We don't make new purchases of non-essential goods and services
2. We reduced overseas calls by installing Skype
3. We also limit the use of our SL car just to save on gasoline
