Another thing we like about these ideas is how many of them are budget conscious. When things break or malfunction, it’s often bad fortune that the incidents occur at the worst times when you’re low on funds. At the very least, some of these ideas can see you through until you can afford repairs or replacements. Of course, we don’t recommend all of them as permanent solutions but it’s good to know that you can buy yourself some much needed time.
