MONEY
SAVING MADE EASY Try these items to keep more money in your pockets
Save your coins. Putting aside just 50¢ a day over a year will get you almost halfway to an emergency fund. Use the 24-Hour Rule. Avoid purchasing expensive or unnecessary items on impulse with a self-imposed 24-hour rule. For any non-essential item, wait 24 hours before purchasing. Create a spending limit on gifts. Discuss placing spending limits on gifts within your family and/or a system where you only purchase one gift for one person over the holidays.
Unsubscribe. Avoid temptation by unsubscribing from marketing emails and texts from the stores where you spend the most money. Pay off credit cards in full each month. The miles and cash-back are only valuable if you’re not falling into debt or paying interest.
Pay your bills on auto-pay. This ensures they are paid on time, in full to avoid late charges. As a bonus, some loan providers offer a small interest rate deduction if you enroll in auto-pay.
Designate one day a week a “no spend day.” Reserve one night a week for free family and friends fun. Cook at home, and plan out free activities such as game night, watching a movie, or going to the park.
Commit to eating out one fewer time each month. Save money without sacrificing your lifestyle. Take small steps to reduce your dining budget. Start off with reducing the amount you eat out by just once per month.
