DIRECTIONS
FOR IMPROVEING YOUR LIFE
First I would like to start off by motivating your self

confidence.What I would like you to do is to think about all
of the things that have ever gone wrong in your life.Think
about all of the failures,all of the disapointments,all of the
regreates,all of the sadness and misfortunes and
dissapointments.If you would like to write them down.
Now what have you learned from all of the trials and
tribulations that you had gone through in your life?
Did you die?If you have then please accept my deepest
condolences and gratuity for reading this book.
If you have not died however in time eventually you will.
For the remainder of the time you have left here I hope that
your life is enjoyable and satisfying.
Now write down all of the things you are good at.It might
not all come to you right away so just write down what you
can think of off of the top of your head and add anything
else you can think of later.
Now write down all of the things you have succeded at in

life include as much as you can think of off of the top of
your head and make shure to add all of the things you have
learned from your failures as well as all of the things you
are good at.
Fantastic!
Now your stepping in the right direction.Alright next write

down all of the things you have.Include clothing shoes
socks,books,furneture and anything that you think might be
of value to you or to someone else.Even if the list is short
you can always add to it later.
Now write down the names of all of your friends.Even if

the list is short you can always add to it later.
Write down the top ten things that you want for yourself
in your life.
Now think of how you can get those things.

Two important skills you should develope is the ability to
plan ahead on goals you can fallow through with and the
ability change your plan without a moments notice.
Not every project or task is going to come out the way

you initially planned it to and sometimes in the middle
of the project you start you may find that it isn't that
important for you to do right away.Do it when you've
got your heart in it and you'll do a better job.
There's only 24 hours in a day and on the average you sleep

8-12 hours and work 4-12 hours a day.Then there's
the commute to work and back & the time it takes to get
ready for work and changed for bed.At the end of the day
that dosn't leave you with much time or energy to do
very much of anything.
Fallow the step by step guide to help you develope the best
plan for your individual needs.
If things are going wrong don't take it out on the baby

Jesus.
Remember that the direction you are headed is most likely

where you'll end up.
How fast you get there is up to you.
Just like driving a car you control the gas and the breaks
and the direction.The perpose of this book is to give you
a very basic road map.The rest is up to you!
Also remember that even if you don't have much right now
your wealth will accumulate over time so don't get
discouraged if things aren't going your way right now and
just keep trying.If things don't pan out in one direction just
make a new plan and take it into a different direction.Your
the driver!
Ask yourself this question:Am I joy rideing or am I

speeding?It isn't good to have bad driving habbits
on the road of life or on any road for that matter.
You control the wheel!Don't drive like an ass hole, keep

your vehicle well maintained,fallow the rules of the road
and watch out for other drivers!
For the homeless

For the homeless here's the plan
Find the fallowing resources and use them

shelter
First write down the names of all of the people you know
that would let you crash at their house.Cross out the names
of anyone that would be physicaly or emotionaly
abuseive.Cross out the names of any one that would cause
any legal problems or ask you to commit crimes in return
for the favor.Cross out the names of anyone that would
also be known by someone who is a potential threat to
you.Now call the remaining numbers on the list and explain
your situation.
If no one you know can help you then call any of the local
homeless shelters and explain your situation.
If someone has hurt you call 911
If you have a drug or drinking problem call 911 and ask if

they can take you to a rehabilitation center.
If no beds are avalible at the homeless shelter then you'll

have to get creative.Look around for 24 hour resteraunts
bus stops,truck stops or anywhere that would be warm and
out of the elements.
Now get some rest!
food
Now get something to eat.Pick the way that best suits your
needs.
Many places frown on people begging for money so be

careful about doing that.There's nothing wrong with it
and it's not a sin but in many places it's ilegal.That's
on their soul not yours.
Another coures of action is to dig food out of the trash.

Be careful about that too.
Aside from the germs and bacteria there's also the posibility
that poisoniouse chemicals such as pesticides are in the
trash can as well.
If you decide to get food out of the trash take it from the
top of the can or even better sit in the resteraunt and wait
until someone gets up and throws the food in the trash then
grab that.
You can also grab the food that people leave behind on the
tables (leave the tip for the waitress alone though).
You could also ask the resteraunt manager if you could

may be mop the floor or do the dishes for food then explain
your situation.
Churches and non for profit organizations also sometimes

help homless people with food
Homeless shelters also serve food to the homeless
Another idea is to make a sign out of a cardboad box that

says "will work for food"and stand along the side of the
highway with it.Make shure it's big enough for people to
read it.
Many stores and resteraunts have free samples of food

as well as free condoments like ketchup and saltines and
creamers that with a little enginuity can be made into
tomato soup or a stew.
If you goto the department of family services and tell them

that you need emergency assistance with food they might
be able to "exbidite your case"and your food stamp card
will be active within one week of filing your aplication.
for the long term it's worth the wait so give it a shot.
hygene
Now that your well rested and have some food in your
stomach you should take care of your hygene so that you
can find a job.
Public restrooms are a good place to clean up and change

your clothing
Wet 2 paper towels and put a little bit of soap in one of

them.
Go into the toilet stall and lock the door.First use the soap
towel and wash your genitals and rectum.Then use the
other towel to clean away any remaining soap.
Now wet 2 paper towels and put a little bit of soap in one
of them again then go into the toilet stall and lock the
door.First use the soap towel and wash your feet and
between your toes.Then use the other towel to clean away
any remaining soap.Be shure to dry your feet well.
Repeat the same process for your armpits
Now wash your face and neck at the sink and wash your
arms up to the armpits but not the armpits themselves.
Now while your in the rest room go back into the toilet stall
if you have a change of clothes and change there.
(for future refrence if you don't have a change of clothes
use the list of places below to help you in your serch.)
clothing
Churches and homeless shelters give away clothing if your
not too perticular about it.Non for profit organizations that
have thrift shops sometimes give away clothing voutures.
Sometimes people throw away clothing at the laundromat
or leave it behind and are up for grabs in the lost and found
box.
Hospitals also have lost and found boxes and might have a
pair of gloves or a winter hat for you.
Behind apartment buildings in the dumpsters you might

find clothing.
Along the side of the highway you might find shirts,ball

caps,gloves and as strange as it sounds you could also find
a pair of jeans here and there.
In the wooded arieas and camp grounds and in parks,near

lakes and along the river banks you could find clothing.
In residential neighborhoods like the suburbs you could

find clothing in the trash cans.
Behind thrift stores you could find clothing in the dumpster
In parking lots you could often find articles of clothing
money
like I said earlier many places frown on people begging for

money so be careful about doing that.
Temporary services like LABOR READY hire walk in

people and some times have a job lined up for you the same
day.Other times however you might wait around all day and
get nothing.That's the best time to sleep.
In the warmer weather construction contractors hire people

without any experience and train them to do clean up and
waste removal as well as carrying the tools and materials
from the truck to the sight.
In the warmer weather land scapers hire people without any

experience and train them to do clean up and waste
removal as well as carrying the tools and materials from the
truck to the sight.
Many farms rely on unskilled labor to plant and to harvest

crops too delicate to be harvested by machines.
In the winter time people sometimes hire people to shovel

their drive ways and sidewalks.
If you can find an aluminum recycling center practically

everywhere you go there's soda and beer cans you can pick
up and bring to the recycling center for a little extra cash.
Sometimes places pay for human blood and plasma look
under blood banks in a telephone directory while your at
the temp service waiting for a job.
Sometimes truckers hire people to unload their freight for

them because they've been driving all night and their tired.
Sometimes resteraunts hire people to do nonfood related

tasks like sweep and mop the floors,clean the
bathroom,take out the trash ect.
While your at the temp service

Besides looking for the blood bank also look for listings in
the newspaper for roomates wanted then call and explain
your situation.
If that dosn't pan out then try the rooms for rent section and
explain your situation when you call.
Also look in the houses for sale section of the news paper
and see if you can find any listings for no money down
homes for sale.Give it a shot!After all what do you got to
loose?What the hell right?Besides the worst that could
happen is that they say no.If you go for it and they say yes
then there you go,but don't expect it to be a palace in a
gated community.
If you already have a job and a car
Then your alot better off then alot of people.
Park at a highway rest stop and sleep in the car

then goto a truck stop and take a shower and
wash your clothes.If you are strapped for cash
goto a payday loan office and make a loan for
as much as you can get or need to get.
Now is not a good time for you to goto a hotel because

you'll need whatever you can get to get your life back on
track.
For the people who aren't homeless

BASIC STEPS
STEP 1 Getting it together

The first step is assessment and organization.This is the
most important step because in the process of self
assesment your counting your blessings.Go through your
home and write down all of the stuff you already have in an
inventory list.
As you go through the things you have in your home clean
each item to like new condition and if damaged make any
nessisary repairs if possible and economicaly
feasable.Organize by putting it in it's respective place I.E.
dishes in the ketchen,toiletpaper in the bathroom ect.
Put all the items you plan to get rid of into seporate piles
and mark a box for each pile as yard sale/garage sale
donations,e-bay,christmas presants,birthday presants ect.
then put them away in storage.
STEP 2
Make a list of the things that you still need that you don't
already have.List the things in catagorys to make it simple
to use.I have included a general list of the most common
things found in the every day home.It isn't nessisary to have
everything on the list but you can use it as a helpful guide.I
have also included a list of the most common places to find
items you may need.Before you go out and buy any
of the items on your list first ask your friends,family
church members,coworkers and neighbors if they might
have any of the items on the list they are willing to donate
to you or know anyone that has something on your list
they are getting rid of or selling for really cheap.
"Ask,and it will be given to you;serch and you will find;

knock,and the door will be opened for you."
__Matthew 7:7
Now make a list of all of the things that you could not
afford to repair right away.There are a few factors that
should be considered when repairing anything.First is how
important that item is to you sentimentally.Second is value
to general society.Even if you have no possible use for it if
it is valuable to someone else you can sell it to them or
trade for what you want or need that you do have use for.
The third thing to consider is if it would cost more to repair
then it would to replace and if it would cost more than it's
value to repair.Sometimes it's cheaper just to buy a new
one.
Also consider how often you may use this item.If it's being
kept as a sentimental item then dose it need to be repaired
right away or can it wait?Another question to ask is if it can
be repaired.If it is damaged to a state of unrepairability
then think about what you would like to do with the
remains.
You can simbolicly incorperate them into the design of

something else or keep it as is or throw it away or bury it in
a symbolic gesture of respect for the object you once
cherished.That's your choice!
STEP 3
Make a budget of your money.This should include your
rent,utilitys,phone bill,internet charges,car payments,car
insurance,grocery bill,credit card payments,student
loans,cable bill and any other bills you might have and
subtract them from the amount of money you earn.
If your monthly bills exceed your pay check then figure out
the bills that you can cut back on and some of the extras
you can do without.
Even if your bills don't exceed your monthly budget you

should cut back on expenses anyway.
Do you really need 180 channels of reruns and repeats?
Do you really need a cellular phone in case of an

emergency or can you just use a pay phone or flag someone
down if you break down?
Put away as much money as you can into savings.
Invest your money!Aside from putting your money into

savings you should put aside a little for investments,tools
supplys,and things that will help you make a profit later on.
Do your research to learn more about stocks and bonds and

mutual funds,buissness ventures and other investment
intrests.
Find the highest paying job you can and go back to school.
Take a course in something that you enjoy and are intrested

in.
If it's something your intrested in your more likely to

remain in an occupation that is relitive to this ,the rewards
will be more enjoyable and you will be more likely to do
well.
Be patient!Take your time and do well!Take little steps and

don't push yourself too hard!Keep a slow steady pace and
keep trying.
Stay out of trouble!Keep your nose clean as the saying

goes.No matter how hard a person trys to pull you into a
conflict stay out of it.Don't have anything to do with
criminal activity as much as possible and avoid situations
that may lead to wrongful incarceration if possible.For the
time and money you loose and all of the other ramifications
involved you'll loose more than you gain
Mabe you can nigotiate or try to resolve the situation in a
peaceful manner first.That isn't as easy as it sounds and
way easier said than done but with a little practice it gets a
lot easier over time.
The reason we work is to improve our own lives as well as

other peoples lives and the lives of the generations to come
so donate your time and money to improve your
community and the world you live in.
Volenteer at your local red cross, do fund raising for the

animal shelter,pick up the garbage around your ariea streets
and side walks.
Join the Boy Scouts of America or what ever you feel you
would like to do to make the world a better place to live.
Remember that everything we have comes from the

ground.."We brought nothing into this world and it is
certain that we can carry nothing out." I Timothy 6:7
Your not going to live forever that's just part of life but
what you give to others will impact the world long after
you are gone.
Everything you have right now comes from the earth and
it's value is truely nothing compared to the value of human
decency and integraty.That dosn't mean to give away all
your worldly possesions but if you have enough to be in a
situation where you can afford to help others and it isn't
going to effect you by giving help then do so,but do it
because you want to help others and don't expect to have
any recognition for it or to gain anything in return.
LIST FOR THE HOME
The fallowing list is a list of common household items

currently found in the average home.Use this list as a
scavenger hunt list and mark off any of the items you
already have.Remember that you should buy the items
that best fit your individual needs so it's up to you to
decide if you should buy new or used,name brand or
genaric and to choose the style,color ect.It's what you
value that matters the most.Remember it's your money!

CHILD SUPPORT
If your devorced but still on good terms with your exwife

then mabe you can make payment arangements on child
support payments or offer a barter arangement or both.
Some ideas are out lined below.
offer to watch the kids while she's at work.

offer to do some of the repairs to her house or apartment.
offer to repair her car.
offer to do some yard work.
offer to help her file her taxes
offer to repair her computer.
offer to help her to find better bargins on the things she
needs.
Do the best you can to sweeten the deal then fallow through
with it if she says yes.
If you don't get along with your ex wife cut your losses and
move on.Think of it as giving your kid up for adoption.You
can explain it to your kid when he or she is older and
moves
out.Stay out of the drama game!Move to another state or
another country and stay the hell away!It may sound cold
but think of the alternitive!I could fill a book just on the
sick things that devorced parents do to their kids to get
back at each other.Is it worth it?No!Move on and don't
look back!
Trust me your kid will have plenty of time to get to know
why!
On the other hand it might give you just the time you need
to get yourself together and become more mature and able
to handle the responsibility of being a good parent.
On the government side of the equashion you should

explain your financial situation then offer payments on
any back child support as you pay the current payments.
If that dosn't work try to pay it off with a credit card if you
can, then make payments on the card until it's payed off.
After you have everything current keep it that way!

Anything that you find that might have value to someone

else if it where in better condition and you have the ability
to make the nessisary corrections to it ,get it and make the
nessisarry repairs to the item then sell it.
SCAVENGERING
STATIONARY
Banks usually give away freebees like pens,pencils and

calendars.Scrap paper can be found at the libruary or post
office.Scrap cardboard can be used as a temporary chalk
bord or clip board and well chared cuts of sticks can
replace chalk as a substitute.Old contact paper or sticker
labels can be used to substitute tape if appearance dosn't
matter.
CONDOMENTS
Ketchup,salt,mustard,pickle relish,soy sauce,hot

sauce,mayonase,duck sauce,sweet and sour sauce coffee
creamer,parmashan cheese,oregano,sugar,sweetener,
crutons ,bacon bits,butter,crackers,halapinios,cheese sauce
candy ,mints and ect.can all be found at a resteraunt or
service station.
CLOTHING
Most laundromats have a lost and found box and throw

away the clothes that are not picked up after about a week.
Some people disguard clothing at the laundromat if the
clothes are stained or discolored or there's a rip or loose
button or missing button on them.
Clothing can also be found in the dumpster in most

apartment complexes.
HYGENE
Soap and toilet paper can be found at resteraunts and

service stations.In a pinch you can use paper napkins as a
substitute for toilet paper.
REPAIRING ITEMS IN YOUR HOME
To save money sometimes its better to repair an item

instead of replaceing it.Use the list below as a helpful
guide.Some of the methods date back as early as the
1800s.
PLASTIC ITEMS
To repair a plastic item it is helpful to have a few scraps of

the same kind of plastic that can be used to weld or glue in
place as a patch on any items with holes or missing pieces.
It is also helpful to have a little creative ability in sculpting

and to have patience.
CRACKS
For small cracks in a piece of plastic that dosn't hold any

pressure behind it clear apoxy like super glues will work
fine.For PVC pipe that may hold water pressure it may be
nessisary to cut the pipe and put a streight connector
in place.for long cracks it may be nessisary to use two
streight connectors and a replacement piece of PVC pipe.
The freshly cut ends and the connectors as well as any
replacement pipe should be sanded and cleaned and free of
oil before glueing them together.Use PVC cleaner to soften
plastic before glueing fallowing the directions on the can.
Use PVC glue to glue the dry pipe and connectors together.
SMALL HOLES
For small holes in plastic appliances use plastic filler

purchased at any hobby shop.After the hole has been filled
it may be nessisary to touch it up with paint.You should try
to match the color and texture as closely as you can.for
imitating texture of an object lightly press a piece of plastic
filler over an oiled section of the project then let dry.use
this to impress onto the patched ariea of the project.It may
at times be nessisary to etch the patterine by hand to blend
it with the existing piece.
LARGE HOLES
You should cut the hole into the simplest shape you can
then trace it's edges on a piece of paper.cut the traced
image out and use it as a pattern to copy onto a piece of
plastic.Cut the plastic then put a bead of glue on it's edges.
Press the piece firmly in place and let it set for a few hours
regardless of whatever it says of the drying time on the glue
lable.Paint and sand the object then dry.
WOOD
Regular wood filler can be used to fill small holes but for
larger holes in wood it is nessisarry to use a piece of wood
that will fit inside the hole then coat the edges with wood
filler and remove excess from surface.
Cheap wood filler can be made by mixing wood glue and

saw dust together to make a puddy consistancy.I leave this
to the reader to determine the consistancy desired and to
measure the quanitys there of.
Once the wood has been filled then sand the wood to a
smooth surface then paint.The wood filler unfortuneately
will not stain properily but if you desire the piece to be
stained you can mix coloring into the wood filler to match
the surface color and it will dry to roughly the same color.
METAL
For metal surfaces there a number of things you can use to

repair holes.The most common is to use body
filler.Fallowing the directions on the can mix the body filler
on a scrap piece of cardboard using a plastic puddy knife.
Be shure that the color is consistant and that the filler is
thourally mixed with the cream hardener.Once this has
been done quickly place the mix onto the surface and flaten
as smooth as possible.It may help to have a mask or rag
over your face to keep from inhailing the noxiouse fumes.It
may also make the job easier to whear gloves because if it
sticks to your hands it's difficult to remove.Let the work
dry over night then sand the surface with an electric sander
using course sand paper to get it about level with the metal
surface then use fine grit to bring it even with the surface.
Be careful to not apply too much pressure to the sander or
to sand an ariea too long.This will cause it to melt and
make
melted balls of body filler on the surface of the sand paper
that will destroy your work.
MIRRORS
This a job that will take considerable skill to do correctly if

you intend to repair the glass.If you don't mind replacing
the mirror glass then the job will be worlds easier.
You will need to remove the mirror silvering from the glass
before you weld the pieces back together.Once the glass is
clean prepair a setiline or propain tourch by opening the
valve on a low setting then lighting the gas.slowly raise the
setting until the flame is blue.slowly heat the glass on a
nonflamible surface such as metal or concreate.Remove the
flame periodically to move the pieces of glass closer
together then continue to heat the edges until the glass has
mended together.Continue to give even sweeps over the
surface of the glass and lower the flame.Slowly reduce the
amount of time given to each sweep then lower the flame
again.Continue this process until the flame is off.Let the
project cool slowly.The slower the better.
MIRRORING GLASS
Buy a can of mirroring spray paint and a can of grey primer

paint.The mirroring paint can usually be found at any
hardware store,craft store or hobby shop.It usually sells for
the same price as regular spray paint.Lay the glass on a
newspaper or a piece of scrap cardboard then spray the
glass with the mirror spray paint in even sweeps.Be shure
to stop periodically to shake the can.Let dry completely
then spray on the primer paint in an even coat over the
mirror sprayed surface.Let dry.Reinsert the mirror into it's
frame and secure.
STCKERS,DECALS & LABELS
For replaceing stickers,decals or labels make a

photo copy of the original then adhere it to
the project you are working on.If you do not
have the original stickers,decals or labels then
you can improvise with custom decals using
fonts on your home computer or picture samples
you find in magazines or other sources.Once you
have found the picture sample you want simply
print it out to size as a color transparency and cut
it out then adhere it to it's proper location.
For large stickers,decals or labels you can use the

same transparency method or you can trace an image
onto the surface of the project using stencils or a
photo copy of the item and a sheet of carbon paper
then paint it with a artists paint brush or mask it off
with masking tape along the lines and spray it with
spray paint in light even coats.
HANGING WALLPAPER
Hanging wall paper is difficult but there's an easier way to

do it.
First determine the height you would like it to run it if you

don't plan to run it the full expanse of the wall from floor to
celing.After the measurement has been made for the height
of the paper use a chalk line to mark it or use a ruler and a
guide.I recomend using a chalk line and if you don't have a
chalk line you can use a piece of string as a chalk line by
rubbing it in ash.Take one end of the chalk line and nail it
to the marked height of the desired wall paper height then
do the same to the other end keeping the line taunt.Pinch
the line between two fingers and pull it back then let it snap
back in place.This should give you a fairly acurate marking
of where the wall paper is to stop.Spray some spray
adheasive to the surface of the wall where the paper is to be
hung.Line up the wallpaper end with the line you have
made then bend the paper to the corner and cut it streight
across.Make shure that the paper is smooth against the wall
and that it dosn't have any air pockets.With the freshly cut
end of the wall paper still on the roll line it to the chalk line
and the end of the freshly hung wall paper.Repeat the steps
used to hang the first piece and continue until your done.
PATCHING PLASTER
If you have a small screw hole in the wall use a little piece
of toiletpaper ,napkin or straw wrapper by chewing it into a
spitball then forceing it into place with your finger.Flaten it
out then paint over it.
For larger holes cut the hole into a small square then cut a
small piece of sheetrock into a square to match it.If you
have no sheetrock use a piece of cardboard and cut it to fit
the hole.For both you should carefully press the patch into
place as flush as possible.Cut strips of news paper to a two
inch width then wet the paper and stick it to the wall over
the patched hole.Carefully place a layer of joint compound
over the paper and smooth it out with the puddy knife.Let
dry then sand it smooth.paint and texture it then let it dry.
SPACKELING TAPE
To save a few bucks on spackeling tape you can use strips of

newspaper cut to the width of the spackeling tape and apply
it the same way you would use the tape.
STUCCO
For reparing stucco you can use a mix of paper mache and
dry plaster mix.To make the paper mache rip up as much
news paper as you need and put it into a bowl,add water
and let it set over night.Break up the newspaper with your
hands and mush it between your fingers.Add in a little
plaster of paris at a time until the mix is similar to stucco
mix then apply to the damaged arieas.Allow it to dry before
painting.
PAINTING
It's a good idea to first clean the walls free from any dirt
grease,soap scumb,bird droppings,loose paint and ect.
before you paint.After you have prepaired the wall you
should patch paint over any ariea that you scraped away
loose paint or that may be stained or discolored.For stains
that bleed through the paint you should spray the ariea
with degreaser and wash the ariea with a hot soapy towel.
Let the ariea dry then patch paint the ariea again using the
same color as the wall and blend it the best you can.
after the patch painted arieas are dry apply a thin coat
of paint the same color as the paint already on the wall
over the entire wall.The more you can blend it and stretch
it out the better.Hopefully you won't need a second
coat of paint after that.
PAINT
For dried out paint in a paint bucket you can add some
paint thinner to it , stir it in and mix it well into the dried
out paint and you should be able to use it as paint.The
end result will be a chunky soup of colored paint thinner
and softened globs of paint unless you mix the hell out of
it and mash the globs with your hands.It's messy to do but
it works.
If you don't have any paint thinner you can also use kerosine
gasoline or lighter fluid to soften up the paint.
for paint that's too watery you can add a little plaster of paris
or powdered joint compound to absorb the excess moisture.
keep in mind however that it will lighten the color of the paint.
If you don't want to change the color of the paint I would
suggest that you just leave the can open for a day or so to
let the moisture evaporate.You may need to stir it occashionally
to keep it from skinning over at the top.
PAINT BRUSHES
Even cheap paint brushes cost money but if you take care of
them they can be used almost indefinantly.For used paint
brushes that are damaged by dried paint they can be easily
cleaned by placeing them in boiling hot water and picking
out the big globs of paint by hand when they are softened.
Once the larger globs are removed the smaller globs of paint
can be worked out with a hair comb and the remaining paint
should wash out fairly easy.
ROLLERS
Like with cleaning paint brushes, rollers can be cleaned by

using hot water and pulling off the large glops of stuck on
paint.After the large glops are removed use your hand to
force out any wet paint still in the roller.Wash the roller
several times and force out the paint each time until the
water comes out clear.
CARPET
Instead of replacing your old carpet you should see if you can restore
the existing carpet by giving it a good shampooing with a rug shampoo
machine.If you buy a rug shampoo machine you can bring it back after
you use it.Spray any stains in the carpet with stain remover first and try
to work out the stain.If the carpet is discolored but the mat is still in good
shape you can always dye the rug for a fraction of the price of buying a
new one.
TRIM WORK
For base boards,corner moulding and trim around doors and windows
you can use calk to fill in small holes.You can also use paper mache,
plaster of paris,spackle,wood filler,mud mixed with elmers glue,body
filler or even playdough to fill in the small holes.
For large holes you have to be a little more creative.For the larger holes
you can fill them in with paper mache,plaster of paris,spackle,wood filler,
mud mixed with elmers glue,body filler or playdough to fill in the holes,
but you have to sculpt it into the shape of the rest of the moulding.To
make it a little easier you can make a cast of the moulding then use it as
a tool to slide across the surface that is to be moulded.
For the really large holes or missing pieces you can remove the trim from an
inconspiciouse ariea like behind the sofa or behind the bed and piece it in
then blend the ariea with hole filler and paint.
If there are no inconspiciouse arieas in the room that you can swap a piece
of moulding then you can use the moulding cast and instead of using only
hole filler cut a strip of cardboard small enough to fit the largest portion of
the ariea with the missing piece then fill the rest with the hole filler.
REPAIRING TILE
Instead of replaceing all of the tiles first see if you can find
replacement tiles that match the existing tile and replace only
the tiles that are damaged or missing.If you can't find any tiles
to match the existing tile then see if there's an ariea of tile in an
inconspiciouse spot like under the refridgerator or behind the
toilet and carefully remove it from that ariea.Once you have the
replacement tile make shure it is cleaned well and make shure
you clean the ariea of loose grout,dirt and tile before you apply
new grout.Next apply the new grout and press in the new tile.
press firm but carefully and slowly allow any excess grout to
ooze out around the edges of the tile.Wipe the surface with a
sponge and then press a book over the top to check if it is
level.Use the cover of the book to check if the tile is lined up
properly with the other tiles.If too many tiles are missing you
should replace all of them.
LAYING TILE
First measure the room then determine the amount of tile

needed by the measurement of their size.Spread the tile
glue in strips of the same width as the tile and lay the tile
in a streight line over the glue side by side then run another
line of glue and line up the tile side by side next to the
other tile line so the corners of the tile are side by side with
a streight line in both directions.continue this process until
you get to the edges of the wall then cut the tile by using
the last tile as a guide.
TUBS,SINKS &TOILETS
If your tub,toilet or sink is broken see if you can replace only the broken
portion of the tub,toilet or sink first.If the tub toilet or sink is damaged
beyond repair mabe you can replace it with a used tub,toilet or sink.
If the damage to your tub,toilet or sink are astetic flaws like rust stains
scratches and nicks or chips missing ,cracks ect. you may still be able to
repair it.
For chips, nicks,scratches and cracks use body filler to patch them then
sand it smooth.Clean the tub,toilet or sink after sanding to remove dirt
and debris then clean the entire object well to remove grease,wall paint
soap scumb,lime,calcium,mineral deposits and rust.To remove rust stains
use rust remover and spray sparingly over the stain then rinse the stain
well.Repeat if nessisary until the stain is gone.
Remove the tub,toilet or sink from it's location then find a clean,dry and
well ventilated ariea to paint your work.Shake the can of tub ,toilet & sink
spray paint well.Make a last minute check to see if the tub,toilet or sink is
completely dry and cleaned.Now spray the ariea that you made the repair
to first with a really fast sweep and keep the can about a foot away from
the project.Now let that dry completely before you put on another coat of
paint.Clean the surface of the project and let it dry.Now spray paint the rest
of the project with a thin coat of paint and blend it together the best you
can.Clean the surface of the project and let it dry.If it's nessisary apply
another coat of paint then clean the surface of the project and let it dry.
HOT TUB
If you have the ability to work with concrete you can save a lot of money
building a hot tub yourself.First goto a place that sells hot tubs and get
one of their flyers.Pick the one that you would buy if you had the money
and find out what parts goto it and how much the replacement parts cost.
Get the replacement parts and copy the design using concrete instead of
fiberglass.
PIPES
You can save money on PVC pipe by useing garden hose.

You should only use the garden hose on the cold water pipes
because the hot water makes the hoses expand.It's better to
use garden hose instead of PVC in arieas that are prone to
pipes freezing in the winter because PVC tends to split and
garden hose expands more readily.To connect it into the
plumbing system use hose clamps and tighten the hose
clamp & hose as tight as you can against the PVC without
busting it.It helps to have a little rosen or glue to help seal
it so it won't leak but if the clamp is tight enough you won't
need any glue.
ELECTRICAL
This is not an ariea you should be cutting corners in.I'm not

going to recomend it.However if it's nessisarry in an emergency
it's need to know information.So I will include it in this book to be
used at your own discression.
HOUSE WIREING
Old appliance cords recycled from refridgerators,ovens,telivishions,

VCRs,sterios,microwaves ect.can be used temporarily to replace
damaged house wireing.
Extentions can be used temporarily to replace damaged
house wireing.
Heavy grade speaker wire can be used temporarily to replace

damaged house wireing.
FUSES
For older fuse style fuse boxes a strip of aluminum can be used
temporarily to replace damaged house fuses.
For older fuse style fuse boxes a piece of old appliance cords
recycled from refridgerators,ovens,telivishions,VCRs,sterios,
microwaves ect.can be used temporarily to replace damaged
house fuses.
Heavy grade speaker wire can be used temporarily to replace

damaged house fuses.
LIGHTING
If you don't have a lamp in your house a light bulb with old
appliance cords recycled from refridgerators,ovens,telivishions,
VCRs,sterios,microwaves ect.taped to the leads can be used
temporarily to create a makeshift lamp.To make it a little more like
a lamp you can tape it to the top of a beer bottle or liquer bottle.
ROOFING
First see if you can find any used replacement shingles that will
match the existing roofing.If you can't find any replacement
shingle that will match try to find something that's at least a fairly
close match then swap it for some shingles in an inconspiciouse
location of the roof like in the back of the house over the gutters.
Use plenty of roofing tar under it when you put in the shingle and
be shure that it lines up with the rest of the shingles.
For arieas of the roof with rotten spots in the plywood you should
strip away the shingles as carefully as you can over only the rotten
portion of the plywood.Cut away the rotten plywood and replace it.
Lay down a layer of roofing tar and roofing paper over the plywood
patch then lay the salvaged shingles.
For flat roofs cut away the rotten plywood and replace it.Next lay a
thin layer of roofing tar and lay a cheap black plastic painters tarp
over the ariea and press it down firm.Cut away any excess tarp then
give a good bead of tar under and over the edges of the tarp and
press it firm against the roof to prevent any leaks.
TUCK POINTING
If you don't plan on doing masonary work as a career

more likely than not you don't have a tuck pointing tool.
Instead of going out and buying one the next time you
do masonary work on your house you can use an old
spoon to push the concrete into the cracks and smooth
it out.
SIDEWALKS & PATIOS
To save a few bucks the next time you set out to replace
your patio or sidewalk you might want to consider using
the broken chunks as filler for the new concrete you pour.
You'll have to bust it up into smaller chunks with the sledge
hammer but you'll save money on gravel and on dumping
charges to get rid of the stuff.
DECKS & PORTCHES
Before you replace your deck you should consider just

replaceing the damaged portions.If you intend to build
a larger deck you should consider just adding onto the
existing deck and staining it or painting it all one color.
DOORS
Instead of replaceing the door mabe you could repair the

door you have by sanding it down, filling in any holes
with wood filler,painting it or staining it,using larger and
longer screws for fastening any hindges ect.
Another idea is to buy a used door if the old door is
unrepairable or missing.If your any good with wood
working you could build the door from scratch and just
copy the design of the door you really like for a fraction
of the price of the door at the store.
WINDOWS
Like with doors you can salvage or replace old windows

with old windows but I would recomend replaceing old
windows with new ones that are more energy efficient.
If you can't find any old windows you should consider useing
plexiglass.It's a lot cheaper than glass and alot easier to cut.
If you live in an ariea that you would be prone to having
sports equiptment hurled through your window you may be
better off in the long run to use plexiglass or plant a tall shrub
in front of the window.
STAINED GLASS WINDOWS
These are truely the most beautiful windows to have in your

home if they are done right.Many times they can be cheaper
to make than replaceing a window with a used window.If you
decide to go with stained glass instead of a regular window
you should goto your local libruary and look under stained
glass windows for some general ideas of the best patterines
for you.Many people use religiouse themes,historical themes
sports themes,nature themes,family crests ect.
.
LAWN & GARDENS
You can use plastic bags,rags,carpet scraps,card board and

newspaper sticks, saw dust and leaves to help prevent soil
eroshion in your lawn or garden.This will also help to hold
in soil moisture and absorb excess soil moisture.Scrap metal,
broken glass and scrap plastic can be used in your lawn but
it is not recomended for use in vegitable gardens.
Human waste,animal waste,food waste, mulch and burned

ashes make great furtelizer for lawns and gardens.It is important
however to remember to meashure the PH content of the soil to
assure proper growth of vegitation.
IN GENERAL
Any repairs that are made to your home adds value to your
home.Even if it's only a rented apartment if you put your
time and energy into repairing it and you have value in it as
a home others will value it and respect you more for putting
the effort into it.
I would like to point out however that if you live in a rented

place and do not own it or are not on the lease the land
owner should be asked before any repairs are to be made.If
there is a clear explination of the intentions to correct
damages to your home that are minor astetic infringes to
the overall structure usually there will be no disagreement
as long as the land owner dosn't have to pay for it.
You should adopt the same mentality as far as saving

money and only make repairs that are absolutely nessisary
to the order of the homes overall apearance.In other words
if you can hang a poster over it or hide the defect with a
piece of furneture do it and forget the problem unless you
own the place you live in.
CLOTHING REPAIRS
Though it would be difficult if not impossible to include all

of the styles and tecniques used in the modern world I give
rough ideas of cleaning and repairs for general perpose use.
DYING CLOTHING
Wash the fabric then fallow the directions on the box of the
dye manufacturer.It is a good idea to dye many items at one
time to reduce waste of the dye.Things such as wash
cloths,towels and dish clothes should be dyed multible
times and then set to prevent the dye from fadding.
Sheets,blankets,pillow cases and furniture should be
washed thourally before being used so the dye dosn't wear
off on your skin or clothes.
REPAIRS
For a pull in a sweater use a paper clip to pull the loose
thread to the other side then pull until it is no longer visible
from the out side of the sweater.
For black shoes with a scuff mark clean the shoe then use a
little vasoline or lip balm or grease,motor oil,butter
margerine,Armor All or what ever you have to use to shine
it and put it on the scuff mark then lightly buff it with a rag
or a paper napkin or a wash cloth.
For faded suits throw them in the washing machine then

throw a couple of packets of Rit dye in with it and wash it
on the most delicate setting you have.Let the suit drip dry
then iron out the rinkles.
If your sewing a sock always turn the sock inside out and
sew from the inside so it won't show on the outside of the
sock.
BOOKS
BOOK COVERS
To repair book covers make a color photocopy of the

book cover then cut it along the edges and paste it
to the binding and existing cover.
BOOK BINDINGS
To repair book bindings first make shure that all the pages
of the book are in proper order then align all of the pages so
that they are flush along the back of the book.Now glue the
edges together and press a piece of paper against the back
cut to size.Let the glue dry then glue the book cover onto
the book over the piece of paper.
BOOK PAGES
To repair damaged pages of a book press the edges of the

torn paper together then gently apply a bead of glue and
smooth it.Let it dry then glue it on the other side.
For serverly damaged pages photo copy the page on both

sides then remove the old page and replace it with the two
new pages.
COMPUTERS
Pervention is the best medicine when it comes to

computers.It's a reallt good idea for you to invest
in a good libruary of anti virus related software and
make as many back up files as you can.
You should also turn off your computer when it's not
in use.Not only dose it save on electric it saves
whear and tear on the computer from heated circuit
boards and dust collected as a result of ionization
of the circuit board that acts like a dust magnet.
Every six months you should crack open the case

and give it a good vacume.Be shure that you lable
every thing so you can remember where it goes
when you put it back together.
A really good way of preventing your computer from

virus attacks is to install a simple on/off switch on the
telephone inline that connects to your computer.When
you want to use the internet put the switch in the ON
position.When your not using the internet put it in the
OFF position.Just make shure that the telephone and
answering machineis are connected to the direct line
and not to the output line of the computer.
LOW COST THINGS TO DO FOR FUN
Without some kind of entertainment you will find that

things start to get more difficult.Your over processing
things in your mind and making things more difficult than
they need to be.The function of entertainment is a tool
because it helps you to relive stress and unwind.Rather than
to make snap judgements that you may later regreat you
make clearer healthy judgements based on thought
processes of a relaxed and healthy frame of mind.Too
much of anything is a bad thing sometimes so it is your
responsibility to decide when enough is enough,however
it is healthy to balance this entertainment by using it as a
tool to aid in learning.
CANDLE MAKING
If you have some old melted candles somewhere around

your house you can make some pretty cool things from
them with a little creativity and emagination.
SUPPLYS
AN OLD SOUP CAN

SOME 100% COTTON STRING
MODELING CLAY
PLASTER OF PARIS
CARD BOARD
TAPE
USED CANDLES
PAM NO STICK
SPRAY PAINT
GLITTER
SHOT GLASS
SMALL PEBBLES
PEN
Put the candle scraps inside the tin can and put the can on
the oven range on a low setting and let the wax set until it is
melted all the way.Use an oven mit or a rag to remove the
can from the range because it will be extremely hot.
Carefully pour the wax into the shot glass untill it is filled
half way to the top.Tape the small pebble to a piece of
cotton string and let the pebble end fall into the shot glass
while holding the other end with your fingers.Tape the free
end to the center of the pen then rest the pen on the top of
the shot glass and tape the ends that touch the glass to the
glass then let the wax cool.when the wax is semisolid
transfer the shot glass to the freezer and let it set for a half
an hour.Once the wax is completely cooled remove it from
the refridgerator then place it on the counter top.You will
notice a dip in the center of the candle.Put the can of wax
back on the range and heat it on a low setting until the wax
is completely melted and then remove the wax can from the
range and carefully pour the melted wax into the shot glass
until it is full.Let the wax cool to semisolidification and
insert into freezer unit .Set for half an hour and remove
from glass.
PROCESS 2
Sculpt a piece of modeling clay into a desired shape or

design then place in the freezer.make a small box using a
piece of cardboard and tape the edges of the box.Mix the
plaster of paris and pour it into the box then place the
sculpted design into the box halfway.
don't
It would make it easier to remove the sculpture if you spray

pam or cooking oil on the modeling clay in a light
coat.Once the plaster has set make another box for the top
and fill it with plaster then the other box with the sculpture
in it should be flipped around so the sculpture is faceing
down and placed ontop of the new box.
Once the plaster is dry in the top and bottom parts of the
mould remove the sculpture and the outer layer of card
board.Determine where you would like to place the wick
then bore a hole into the plaster in the shape of a funnel.
This is where the wax will be poured into the mould.
Use a rubber band or a piece of tape and tightly secure the
top and bottom of the mould together then pour the wax
into the funnel shaped opening.Tape a pebble to the end of
a piece of cotton string and drop it into the opening of the
mould.It is easier to make the opening in a place where the
top and bottom of the mould join but this isn't always
possible to do unless for thought is in play and the
sculpture is set in a way that it can be feasable.
PAINTING MIRUALS
First make an enlarged black & white photo copy of the

subject material let's say a cartoon.Now use some wood
ash and smear it on the back of the photo copy to make
it a crude form of carbon paper then tape it over the ariea
you want the mirual to be.Now carefully trace it and
remove the photo copy when you are done.Now paint
it with a cheap water color paint set or you can use
colored markers. Paint the solid colors first then shade it in.

CLEANING YOUR HOME

There are many reasons why it's a good idea to keep
everything clean and functional and in like new condition.
The most important reason is for your own health and safty
as well as the health and safty of others.It's also rewarding
to have a well maintained,clean and organized home to live
in.
For the cost of a few cleanig chemicals and a little time you
save money in the long run because it is less likely that you
would have to replace the items you have.
It is also less likely that you would become sick from the
germs and bacteria or injured from an item that was
improperly maintained.
I will help you go through a room by room order of

cleaning tecniques and helpful tips to organize and save
money.
Fallow the directions the best you can and take your time.
You could clean and organize one room a day after work
then after the worst of it is taken care of fallow through by
just keeping it organized and giving it a quick cleaning
every Sunday or every other Sunday when you've got the
time.
KETCHEN
The ketchen is probibly the most difficult to clean of all the

rooms in your home.There are many places that dirt can
collect.
oven
Generally if you spray on a thick coat of oven cleaner and

let it set for a few hours it will be easy to wipe down but
the smell is enough to make you gag.If you decide to use
oven cleaner then get out of there as soon as your done and
go do something else.For the large chunks of food use a
spatula and scrape it out.if it's still stuck on use a paint
remover blade or streight razor and carefully scrape under
the stuck on piece.For any remaining food use a scrubby
pad and wipe with pressure moving in circle motions then
wipe the remaining grease with a sponge.
For the oven racks soak them in the sink and clean them
with a wire brush or steel wool to get the worst of it off first
then wipe it down with a sponge.
refridgerator
To clean a refridgerator use regular dish soap and a bucket

of clean hot water.Remove all food items from the
refridgerator and put them in a polystirene cooler to keep
them from thawing out too much.Use a scrubby pad and
free up any food stuck to the bottom of the fridge.Once this
is done wipe down the surfaces with a sponge rinsing
frequently with the hot soapy water and rinse it down using
a wet towl to clean off remaining soap residue.To disinfect
the refridgerator surface that may retain oder use isoprople
alcohol and apply it to the surface with an old
T shirt or a rag.
floors
For heavily stained floors use bleach to remove the stains.

Full strenth vinigar works too.Apply directly on the stain
and let it set for a few hours.after the stain has been
removed wipe away the bleach then mop.For heavily
greasy arieas use degreaser.
cabinets
Use a little degreaser to wipe off the really caked on grease

then use furniture polish to clean the wood surfaces.
Use glass cleaner to clean any glass surfaces,metal surfaces
or mirrored surfaces.
SINK
use glass cleaner on the faucets to give them a nice shine

for the sink use degreaser and a scowering pad then wipe it
down with a sponge.If theres any rust use sand paper or a
wire brush to scrub it off.
COUNTER TOPS
Use degreaser and a scowering pad and clear everything off

the counter before you start to clean.Wipe off any excess
degreaser with a sponge and water.For wooden countertops
furniture polish will make your counter look nice.For
formica countertops armor all will make it sine like new.
MICROWAVE
Use a sponge and degreaser to clean the entire thing.

Remove the microwave tray or plate and wash it with the
dishes.
DISHES
I recomend washing the dishes by hand instead of in the

dishwasher to save money on electric.To make washing
dishes easier instead of using a sponge use a cheap pair of
cotton work gloves from places like the dollar store or a
discount store.For stuck on food let the dishes soak over
night..Be shure to scrape out as much as you can before
you soak them to make it easier for the water to soften the
stuck on food.You should do the big dishes first to get them
out of the way that way if you get sick of doing dishes you
don't have a huge pile to come back to.
BLINDS
Remove the blinds from the window and put them in the
bath tub or shower and spray them down with degreaser.
Wipe them down with a scowering pad to free up any stuck
on grease then wipe them down with a sponge.If you don't
have any degreaser you can use regular dish soap as well.
CURTAINS
Remove the curtain from the curtain rod and wash it in the
bathroom sink.using cold water and dish soap apply the
dish soap to the material and work the soap into the soiled
arieas first.Rinse the soap from the material then repeat.
LARGE SURFACES
Generally for large surfaced arieas like the outside of the

refridgerator or the oven it's better to use a large rag like an
old Tshirt or a towel instead of a sponge.Hot soapy water
or degreaser can be used to aid in cleaning if desired.
SMALL SURFACES
For small surfaces it's better to use a wash cloth or soft

sponge.Clean the hard to clean arieas like push buttons on
the blender with the corner of the wash cloth or sponge or
use a Qtip.Make shure any electrical device is unplugged
before cleaning it.If the device gets wet in the process of
cleaning and water seeps into arieas that are carring an
electrical current it could damage the device or cause
seriouse injury or death.If you are cleaning an electrical
device and water gets into it let the device dry out for a few
days before you use it again.
LIVING ROOM
RUG
For short mat rugs sweep any large dirt by hand then
vaccume.Spray rug foam on portions of the rug that are
heavily soiled or stained and let it set.Vaccume and repeat
if nessisary.Long mat rugs fallow the same process.For
oval rugs clean them in the bath tub or shower in warm
water and rinse out all of the loose dirt before using
cleaning chemicals.When theres no more discoloration to
the water comming from the rug soak the rug in laundry
detergent and warm water for a few hours to work out any
stuck on dirt then rinse well and let dry.
FURNITURE
For the coutch,chairs and love seats if it is made of material
you can use rug foam and work it into the material then
vaccume it out after the foam has set.
For leather use leather cleaner for swade use swade cleaner
and for vinal use armor all.For any wood surfaces use
furniture polish.For any glass surfaces use glass cleaner.For
metal surfaces use glass cleaner or crome cleaner.For
plastic surfaces use armor all or degreaser or glass cleaner.
NICK NACKS & FIGURINES
For delicate items of sentimental value it is best that you

consult an expert on a case by case bases for such items.
If it is something that dosn't have much value then I would
suggest spraying it down with degreaser then rinsing it off
under cold water useing a soft sponge to clean off any dirt
on it's surface then use a Q-tip to clean out any crevices.If
the item is made of a material that would desolve in water
such as chalk or mud then consult an expert for the item.
For feathered items like a head dress or imbalmed bird
consult an expert.
BED ROOM
RUG
For short mat rugs sweep any large dirt by hand then
vaccume.Spray rug foam on portions of the rug that are
heavily soiled or stained and let it set.Vaccume and repeat
if nessisary.Long mat rugs fallow the same process.For
oval rugs clean them in the bath tub or shower in warm
water and rinse out all of the loose dirt before using
cleaning chemicals.When theres no more discoloration to
the water comming from the rug soak the rug in laundry
detergent and warm water for a few hours to work out any
stuck on dirt then rinse well and let dry.
BLINDS
Remove the blinds from the window and put them in the
bath tub or shower and spray them down with degreaser.
Wipe them down with a scowering pad to free up any stuck
on grease then wipe them down with a sponge.If you don't
have any degreaser you can use regular dish soap as well.
CURTAINS
Remove the curtain from the curtain rod and wash it in the
bathroom sink.using cold water and dish soap apply the
dish soap to the material and work the soap into the soiled
arieas first.Rinse the soap from the material then repeat.
PICTURES
Use glass cleaner to clean glass cased pictures.For posters
use a damp wash cloth and lightly clean the surface.for
tapastrys and oil paintings consult a professional.
LAMPS
For lamp shades spray it down with water then spray on

degreaser then rinse.If the surface is water stained use a flat
piece of paper towel and spread it over the surface then
spray on ammonia and let it sit for a few hours.
For the base of the lamp use glass cleaner on glass,plastic

and metal surfaces and use furniture polish on wood
surfaces.
BED SPREAD
First look for cleaning instructions on the tag.If there are no

cleaning instructions then fallow these directions.For cotton
and polyester bed spreads wash them in cold water in the
washing machine then dry in the delicate press in the
dryer.For silk,wool or down filled bed spreads consult the
manufacturer.
BATHROOM
LARGE SURFACES
Use a towel or an old T shirt and degreaser on the large

surfaces like the tub,toilet and sink.Use a scowering pad to
free up the thick film and residue then use the towel or T
shirt to wipe it the rest of the way down then rinse the
surface.
GLASS AND METAL
Use glass cleaner and a T shirt to wipe down the surface

and on metal surfaces with caked on lime deposets and
mineral deposits use lime away.If you dont have lime away
use a scowering pad or a piece of sand paper and carefully
scower the surface ariea then clean with glass cleaner.
TRASH CAN
First remove all waste within the trash can then rinse out
the inside the best you can.Use hot water and bleach to
clean the inside and degreaser to clean the outside.Fill the
can about a quater of the way full with hot water then add a
cap full of bleach.With a scowering pad scrub the inside
then empty the can and rinse it out.
BUGS & MICE
If you have a bug or rodent infestation remember to use the

chemicles and pesticides before you clean the house.
VALUE
When it comes to calculateing the value of an item what your doing

is determining how hard you would work to get that item or how
hard you think other people would work to get that item.There is no
set mathimatic equashion that can be used to estimate the value of
an item unless you consider the going price of a similar item already
on the market,but that items overal market value had to be determined
by someone and how much they felt it was worth to them.
EXAMPLE:To a construction worker a sledge hammer is a very valueable

tool.To a dentist or a heart surgion it would be much less likely to be
used in their job routine so thus considerably less valueable to the
doctors and even less so for their patients.
On the other hand it could easily transfer it's value because of it's
proper potential effective use as a construction tool.
The value of an item is sometimes effected by it's history.
EXAMPLE:The gutar used by Elvis Presley has great value because

of it's historical significance,however if Elvis Presley had never been
famouse it would have much less value.
For calculating the value of an item you should weigh the pros & cons
of it to figure out if it's right for you.Ask yourself the fallowing questions:
Do I need it?
How often will I use it?
How much will I save if I buy it used opposed to new?
How long will it last?
Will it get stolen?
Is there a lifetime guarentee?
Can I but a new low quality item instead?
If I buy it used dose it work?
How much dose it cost to repair?
Can I repair it myself?
Do I know anyone that could repair it for me for less than a repair shop?
Will they do it without complications or drama?
What are the features of the item?
If I payed a little more could I find a better deal on the features,quality,quanity
and ect.?
What other uses can I get from it in a pintch?EXAMPLES:clothes iron used to
make a grill cheese sandwitch or duct tape to repair a hole in your muffler.
Do I have enough money to get it?
Do I have enough space for it?
Will it make my life more comfortable,productive,efficient,enjoyable,effective,ect.?
Will it cause problems with others if I buy it?
Could I borrow or rent one for less?
How much time will it take to repair?
Do I need it right away?
Will the price go up or down?
Why do I want it?
Why do I need it?
Will I die without it?
Is it worth it to me to have it?
Why?
NOW THAT YOUR IN ORDER

Once you've got your life in order you should goto school.
Fallow the guide the best you can and don't be afraid to ask
anyone for help.
FIDING A CAREER
Choose something that you can do well and that you'll

enjoy telling people that this is what you do for a living.
You should enjoy the job you do and find a place that you
get along with the people who will be your coworkers.
The more you enjoy doing your job the better it is for you
and the better it is for the company or buissness you work
for.
Start by doing a self assesment and figure out what it is you

would like to do in your life then weigh the pros and cons
of the job and determine if this would be the job that's right
for you.
Not everyone is cut out for the same job so determining

what is right for you is your own responsibility.
Before you even think about applying to a university you

should know as much as you can learn on your own about
the subject you intend to study.Trust me on this you'll save
yourself a lot of embarassment and humiliation.You should
be able to just walk in the door and knock off the final exam
before your even registered at the university.The better you
know your material the better you do on the test.The better
you do on the test the more likely it is that you will pass
without a hitch.
A word of caution to first time students beware of any

interaction with anyone in the university building and
only interact with people if it is absolutely nessisary.
The key here is to be abrupt and avoid eye contact.
Never ever use the resourse rooms

Use the internet at home or at the public libruary.
If your unfamiliar with computers have someone
you know at work or at home show you how to
use the computer that way if you make a mistake
your education and future career isn't at stake.
Aside from universitys and technical schools there are also
a number of corispondance course providers that offer a
wide range of courses and degree programs for a
suprisingly low price.Also many high schools and
universitys offer night school courses and non credit
courses.The goal here is for you to figure out what's best
for you.
If your willing to travel you should submit your resume

over the internet and apply for the field of your intrest.
Also see if the company is willing to train you.You may
save a lot of your own money if you can find an employer
that's willing to foot the bill for your education.They make
out in the long run because they get an employee that's
trained to perform the job they are hiring you for and they
get a little extra kick back from Uncle Sam in their tax
return.
TIPS FOR STUDYING
The information you learn is a tool that you should use as a

tool.The more tools you have the more easily you can
perform your job dutys.
If you maintain these tools then they will work for you but
if these tools become damaged or inaccessable then they
are no longer useful.It is imparitive that you keep these
tools well maintained and as accessable as possible.This is
the reason you study.This the reason you need to actually
learn the information instead of constantly refering to text
sheets.
All of those mathamatic equashions and nickle and dime

words have a reason and should be learned to the best of
your ability even if it seems boring and a waste of your
time.
All of those bible quotes mean absolutely nothing until you

understand the storys and the morals of the storys and the
reason that the quote should be befitting to a spicific
subject.
These storys have meaning and a reason for them being

passed down from generation to generation.
Another example is if you see a complex mathamatic

formula on a black board, it will mean absolutely nothing if
you don't understand the formulas.To you it will appear as
random letters and numbers scattered on the black board.
With out an at least a rudimentary knowledge of math you

could never know how much money you made at work or if
you got ripped off at the store.
My point is that once you've got the general knowledge of
the subject then you can begin to use it to your advantage
to make your life easier and less complicated.
Keep that in mind when your studying.
The better prepaired you are to do a job the better you'll do

at it.
You won't always have the tools to do the job right away
and there's no way that you can possibly memorize
everything so this is why we have libruarys and books and
the internet.
These are tools that should be used as well.Familarize

yourself with the local libruary and book stores around the
ariea you live and read up on subjects that may intrest you.
For studying a forign language here's a trick you can use to

make it easier.
For items say the word over and over again in your head
and think about the item.
Close your eyes and picture the item as clearly as you can
in your emagination.
Now do something really insane with it.Have sex with

it,hurt people with it and do something really funny and
bizzar.
Now sound out the word and think of other words it's
sounds like.Make up a story from the words it sounds like.
What your doing is playing with it in your head while your

familiarizing yourself with the word.
Words are great tools and powerful wepons to use to help

you to communicate your thoughts and ideas and to express
your feelings and needs.
Chances are that you remember every movie you've ever

seen and though you may not remember all the details you
would almost certainly remember a clip of it if you saw one
or know if the movie had been edited or changed from it's
original format.
Chances are that you remember every telivishion show

you've ever watched and could remember the theme song to
it.
Chances are that if you looked around the room right now
you could name all of the items without breaking a sweat of
the items you have seen and used before and can recall how
they are used.
Learning a forgn language is just learning a different name
for the same thing.That's all it is!Once you have built up
your vocabulary you can construct sentences and
paragraphs of words to say to people.
Remember that there are words that sound the same but
mean something else so it is important to memorize it
correctly or people might get ofended.
This is why it is important to memorize the phenetics of the

word and break it down into sylibles to achieve the proper
pronounciation of the word.
After you have used it over and over again it will be

automatic to be able to switch from one language to
another without any thought about it.
Another helpful tool is to use a yellow highlighter marker

to outline the point of the material.
Every book has a little fat in it even this one.Use the

marker to cut through it and use a pen to make notes about
the material and what might connect to it.
The study patterine you should adopt is

how the human body processes food
1)HUNT AND GATHER(take what you want)
2)STREAMLINE (throw the rest away)
3)ABSORB(organize & customize it to fit your needs)
4)STREAMLINE(scrap the rest)
5)REPEAT
This process can be applyed to almost all aspects of life.
In conjunction with this process there is another process

that may also be benificial to you in applied aspects of your
studys as well as all other aspects of your life.This process
is known as the Osborne checklist.Use this in the third
phase of the process stated above or by it's self.
Go through the check list and ask yourself COULD

_________what to add
