Well we all know that things are tough now a days in the Bahamas. Everyone will have to budget if they want to survive this economic downturn without being left tremendously in debt. That being said, I just wanted to give some advice to my BI family, the Bahamas and the world in general.

1. Turn off the A/C: yeah this will be tough, especially since its hot, but fans does cool you also.

2. Stop buying numbers: if you aint win for the month, you just giving your money away.

3. Stop visiting your ma and the inlaws: call them instead; visit them once a month.

4. Limit the recreations: the movies, the bar hopping, the clubs gatty stop. Even the expensive hair and nail dos.

5. Limit eating out: 99c breakfast aint cheap no more. cook at home and take leftovers to work. Eat getfruits and vegatables, and not them expensive snacks.

6. Go straight home afterwork...its when ya does stop that you spend money.

7. Drop the sweetheart; she broking you.

8. Wait for the sales: Either that or put things on layway. Avoid them credit cards and stop being big eye.

9. Disconnect the Cable box; install caller id on your cell phone and screen your calls. Consider texting.

and lastly
10. Stop buying front, rent to own instead.

Yeah Dominos has always been okay, they have some straight up rules that are followed or the staff are fired (worked there in a prior lifetime), and they are open when everyone else has closed .. just way overpriced and doesnt taste like real Pizza .. but whats a hungry SpamStopper gonna do ..

Say at War ... SpamStopper just doesnt wanna die from bad food due to lack of food safety training and regulations in this country. Bahamians have become accustomed to expecting less.
