With a global recession looming, us gadgeteers have to buckle-up and chop logic together on ways we can use our gadgets to help make it through financially tough times. Yes, your iPhone 3G was expensive but with a quick visit to our friendly Apple App store we can transform it from a mobile phone that occasionally plays music into an all-powerful Recession-bustin’ tool.
Here’s a list that I devised that could potentially save you tens of thousands of dollars if you follow the instructions attached to each app. Granted, some of the steps call for extreme measures (e.g. selling your house) but all apps have been enlisted with the ultimate goal of getting you through the recession unscathed – possibly even better off.
10 iPhone Recession Buster Apps:
1. Knot Guide: Let’s start off with the most outlandish – Sell your house and live in a tent. I warned you earlier about extreme measures right? The iPhone Knot Guide app will teach you all the different knots you need to know to keep your future tent in tact, clothesline from sagging and new alarm system / portable heater (dog) from running away to catch pesky vermin.
2. Budget: Boring right? Let’s face it, not many of us have or like budgets. They take diligence and persistence to maintain. But they do save us money if we follow them and plan accordingly. Not as hands-on as the Knot Guide but a necessity when it comes to frugality.
3. iHandy Carpenter: Got no lumber skillz? Chill. Download and install the iHandy Carpenter which claims to be the lightest, prettiest and most handy carpenter tool kit in the world. Forget Ikea, just head down to your local scrap yard, find wood and start making furniture with iHandy Carpenter. It may not be as good as those in the shop, heck, it may even not be able to hold you up, but it’ll be your very own creation. Reach self-actualisation and save a bit in one hit!
