S ’ R A YE ONS I T U L O S E R SAVINGS S R E N W O E M FOR HO
The New Year is upon us, which means that it’s time again for resolutions you can stick to. Saving money is often one of the most common New Year’s resolutions, and one that can be easier to do (it’s a lot easier to take care of your finances than get on the stair stepper).
Page 15
And since owning a home is easily one of the biggest expenses the average person will have in their lifetime, saving money around the home is crucial. Even for those who are able to pay off their mortgage, the cost of annual maintenance - plus the little luxuries we tack on - can really add up. In order to save some money this upcoming year on home-related expenditures, consider these steps:
REFINANCE. Interest rates are still fairly low right now, so take a look at your current mortgage and assess if it would be wise to refinance. Cutting even $100 from your monthly mortgage payment will mean huge savings over the life of your loan. Be sure to understand the terms of the refinance, as sometimes the cost to refinance does not outweigh the savings. Consult your accountant or financial adviser as well before refinancing. SHOP YOUR HOMEOWNERS INSURANCE. We often overlook the cost of homeowners insurance because it is escrowed and paid as part of our monthly mortgage payment. However, you could be greatly overpaying for homeowners insurance, which would increase your monthly mortgage payment unnecessarily. While you’re at it, ask your home insurance agent to package in your car, boat, or other insurance policies to get additional discounts, typically up to 20%.
REDUCE ENERGY WASTE. Take a look at your monthly energy bills to see how much energy you are really using each month. Make efforts to reduce energy usage in the winter cold and summer heat by properly sealing windows and doors that could be susceptible to drafts. Set your thermostat a few degrees cooler during the day when no one is home to save on unnecessary heating and cooling. Another way to reduce energy waste is by completely switching to LED lighting. LED light bulbs might cost a little bit more in the beginning, but in the long run, they save more money than incandescent bulbs. In-
candescent bulbs aren’t efficient: only about 10% to 15% of the electricity that they consume results in light. The rest is turned into heat, but not enough heat to add warmth to your house, so it’s a waste. Making the switch will also help you fulfil a resolution to be better to the environment!
SKIM DOWN YOUR CABLE, PHONE AND INTERNET. Oftentimes, when homeowners set up their television, Internet and home phone service they get talked into a bigger package than they need. Do you really need the fastest Internet speed? How many of those 245 television channels do you actually watch? See if you can save yourself a few hundred dollars a year by downgrading your service package. A lot of service providers can help you save money by bundling services. At the very least, it’s worth it to give them a call and ask if there are any adjustments that can be made to your bill, since you’re a valued customer. It sometimes works!
GET SMART AT THE GROCERY STORE. We often think of our food costs as a necessity--therefore, we justify the expense. However, a little bit of frugality can go a long way when you’re working the aisles at your local market. Get in the habit of clipping coupons and checking the sale papers to make some smart food shopping choices. By following these tips and consciously spending wisely, you will be able to sock away more money, which can come in handy, especially if you’re looking to move into a new home!
