Are you having budget problems? If so, you've got to think of the little things that can save you money. Balancing your budget isn't a matter of finding one big thing you can do to save money - it's a bunch of little things, and one that you should consider is carpooling.
Carpooling is simple - you just agree between three or four people to alternate between who drives to work every day. The main point of this is to save gas - you don't have to spend a tank of gas every week or two for each person, and you get to split it four ways. That can cut down on costs dramatically, especially if you work far away from where you live. But there are a couple of things to make sure that you do to make sure your carpool is a success. First, don't carpool unless all of the people in the car live close together. You need to be close enough that it's worth it to drive around to pick everyone up and drop them off - if the distance to get everyone together is more than the distance to work, then you're not really saving that much in terms of gas. Second, make sure that the people you carpool with are responsible. If they aren't able to be there on time, every day, to be picked up, then you don't want to risk it - it's not worth making yourself late just because they aren't ready. If you're worried about that problem, make sure every member of the carpool has their own vehicle available if they need it. That way, if they miss the carpool, you can just go ahead and leave without them and they can take their own car. You won't feel obligated to sit there parked and waiting for them, because you'll know they have a backup way to work.
