I have seen some belts that were reversible and for travel your could have both a black and brown belts.

When working my money was tight, now that I am retired it seems to have disappeared.
My complaint with this and many comments finding fault with another's post. DON'T JUST FIND FAULT but provide realistic solutions especially for those of us on a tight budget. I have a number of Artificer's sporrans on my drool/win the lottery list, but the cost is above my pay grade (I have no doubt they are well worth the price). So if I can't afford an Artificer sporran belt what do I do?
Save - OK so I start saving, what do i do with my sporran (my fathers) while I wait for the coin jar to fill? Should I carry it as a clutch purse? While saving how do I hide the amount in the jar from my wife and car. They both seem to know exactly how much is in the jar when they have a greater need.
How do I adapt and over come on a limited budget?
