Financial & Travel Musings

To be honest I sort-of expected that glasses would be one of those things that would continually get more expensive. After all, there seems to be a whole lot of manual labour involved in getting them.

However, discount prescription glasses are available not only online but in the high street too. To give you some idea of just how much the prices have dropped, consider that my Mum’s nice, but not designer, glasses from 15 years or so back cost £150. Even designer glasses come for half that these days. Gone too are the cheapo NHS children’s styles and in their place are freebie glasses for the kids but in quite modern designs.

The prices have dropped so much that I even picked up a pair for myself for those days when I can’t be bothered with the contact lenses (which, surprisingly, aren’t any cheaper): all of £10!

The problem with clearing out your house and garage is that you end up throwing out a whole heap of things that you’ll almost certainly need very soon afterwards but which you’ve not used for years.

Take clamps for instance or rather different sized ones. There will be a size or perhaps a small number of sizes which you use quite regularly but others which you used once for a job many years ago and figure that you’ll never ever use them again so they get dumped. Likewise for those screws for that long finished cabinet that you’re “never” gonna use again along with a whole host of other stuff.

Of course, the snag is that if you do keep all the stuff, there’s no chance whatsoever of you finding it when you actually do need it!

You might think that you’d need to employ some highly paid computer consultant to soup up your online profile but these days that’s simply not the case.

For one thing you need to remember that a consultant may well come with a wealth of experience behind them but on the other hand they’re only “yours” for a fairly short period of time. The DIY approach means that you get to gain experience with an seo tool yourself. Sounds complicated? Sure, it sounds complicated but that doesn’t mean that it is complicated as many of these tools are very, very easy to use.

Where you’ll generally need to sit back and do some thinking is with the results of these tools running over your site. That said, even here it’s a lot easier than it used to be and definitely isn’t something to be scared of.
