As you know, we are all living in tough times from an economic perspective and that sometimes our basic needs have to be met through some means or another. Depending on how the service operates in your local community or how much you need to pay out of pocket for it, there is usually some student/training school equivalent that is much cheaper.

For example, many massage therapy schools have students who are training and the price can be 1/4 of what a registered massage therapist charges. Same for dental care, same for physiotherapy, same for even going out for a fancy dinner (look for culinary schools in your area). Understand that the expectations need to be managed accordingly or for serious conditions, go with a professional. But this not only saves your wallets/purses for things we need/want but is also a way of giving back to our future generations of all these professionals by having clients/customers to practice with.
