When the world banking business failed miserably, it sent the world into the midst of an economic crisis. It all began when banks decided to give massive land loans on low interest rates. When the debtors could not write off the mortgage they decided to pull money out from the stock markets and that’s when the problem started. Now we are facing a world filled with expenses with a tight wallet. The crisis will eventually blow over someday but till then, there are ways in which we can be cost effective and save money. Here are five simple things to save money during the crisis.

1. When Possible, avoid you’re car- Try using you’re car less when you can, even though the gas prices are reducing. You can save alot of money on gas and because the car won’t be used as much your can save on maintenance. Walk to nearby places or cycle there or use public transport. It’s not as hard as it sounds, you will get used to it.

MergePDF is a quick and hassle-free online tool for combining your documents in case you don’t have Adobe Acrobat or other PDF manipulation tools. Users who are in need of a quick PDF merge this tool is a good option though it has some small limitations. You can only work with ten files that are 5MB or less for each merge you perform. After finishing the merge you download the document, the original files will be deleted. This process isn’t as fast if combined them on a local computer with professional software but fine nothing the less.

If you don’t mind these smalls limitations, its a pretty decent solution for everyday use.

When you download a movie that is packed in rar archive, it would be really cool if you could play it without unpacking the rar archive. Only a few specialized video player (not many) can actually do that.

Rar File Source is a Direct Show Filter that adds an system wide support to play movies directly from rar archive can be played. To save space and time it is better not to compress the files.

If the rar archive contains more than one video file then the Direct Show Filter will add a menu so that the video of choice can be played. The other rar archive parts will go into the directory and can be accessed through the tool.

Make sure you have Microsoft Visual C++2008 Reditributable Package before running this application.
