Work on reducing water, energy, tax bills
Historically, recessions have only one benefit – they cleanse and rebalance the markets and are “corrections” to the excesses and 
mistakes of the preceding boom. The only way to survive a recession is to adapt thus saving money becomes a necessity when making money becomes harder to do. Recessions teach us all how to better manage our business and personal finances by spending less and cutting costs
Three of your greatest variable costs are your electric, water and tax bills. All three of these expenses can be managed and reduced.
Fact: We will all spend the rest of our lives watching energy and water prices rise.
Even a 10% reduction in your taxes and utility bills will have a dramatic impact on improving your business and personal finances. Don’t just watch the bills rise. Adapt and respond by finding ways to reduce these three expenses. You got proactive and smart about reducing your consumption of gasoline. Now go do the same with your utility bills and taxes. It’s not hard –you just have to take the first step and learn.

Invest some time in researching the marketplace for energy and water efficiency projects that have tax incentives.
