Multi-Function Survival Tool

This is a great addition to anyones survival kit. It has an ax, hammer, pull up nails, or use to pry open items, and so much more. A Multi Function Survival Tool that does not take up a lot of room. I love it. The next thing that I want to try and find for a low price is a shovel. I also need some more garden tools. I plan on having a much bigger one this year and will need some tools for it. Also on the look out for a GPush Reel Lawn Mower. I do not have a very big yard right now , so this might work for it.

Since I am wanting to stop spending money, I think that I need a Budget Planner to see what money is actually coming in and what goes out. If I see it all in writing, I will be able to budget it better!! I hope. This is going to be hard, to not spend any extra money. But we have very little bills so we should save a bunch. I hope. That is the the whole plan ~ TO SAVE MONEY!! I want to have cash on hand in case of an emergency.
