Fifty Ways to Save
There may be ways that you can put hundreds of dollars back into your bank account each month, just by eliminating small things that you may not even realize you are paying so much for.
1. Before making a purchase, ask yourself, “Is this necessary?”
Frivoulous spending on non-essentials increase debt and deplete your disposable income. Shop smart and place your extra cash into a savings account.
2. Get rid of call waiting, call forwarding, or automatic voicemail.
Ever since the introduction of the cellular phone, some household receive few calls on the landline phone. If you seldom receive incoming calls on your house phone, cancel services such as call waiting or call forwarding.
3. Replace the cellular phone with a prepaid mobile phone.
Exceeding your alloted free minutes will increase your total cellular phone bill. If unable to control your rising bill, swithc to a pre-paid phone plan.
4. Cancel your landline phone and use your cellular phone.
Because cellular phones offer free nights and weekends, plus unlimited long distant calling, there is little need for a landline phone. When a telephone line is required for internet connection, switch to a high-speed cable modem and ditch the phone line.
5. Use curtains of drapes to lower your heating and cooling expense.
Throughout the summer, shut the drapes to maintain cool room. Opening curtains in the winter lets the sunlight heat the room.
6. Turn off lights, television, and other electronics.
Before exiting a room or the house, make certain that all electronics are turned off.
7. Save money on transportation.
Make carpool arrangements with a co-worker, or consider public transportation. Use your personal automobile less and cut your monthly transportation cost in half.
8. Trade-in the Gas Guzzler.
Trucks and sports utility vehicles have a special allure. Still, the additional maintenace and fuel costs can exhaust your income. If your profession entails a lot of road travel, save money with a smaller automobile.
9. Combine errands.
Complete all your errands in one trip and save money on gas.
10. Brown bag your lunch.
Reduce the number of times you eat out for lunch. In its place, bring your lunch to work 2 – 3 times a week.
