Many people keep trying desperately to increase their income, but for me this was impossible as my farm doesnt have ability to produce big income, and my savings would perish quickly if gap between spending and income became too big.
For me, the main way was always reducing costs. If I didnt do that, I couldnt fuction. While I do also seek income increase, reducing costs is another way to have things I want while not running out of money too quickly. Big companies also do cost reduction in terms of reducing number of employees, giving same employees more work, finding cheaper resources and parts...ect.
