Money
Having struggled for many years paying my own bills, I learned many ways to save money. From simple things like food, gas and clothing to bigger expenses, like insurance and your mortgage.
Several Ways to Save Money
• Eating out on the weekends
• Buying lunch at work every day
• Magazine and newspaper subscriptions (especially those you can get online and at the local library)
• Cable TV (you’d be amazed at how many other ways you’ll find to spend your time once you get rid of cable TV)
•Groceries (you can save lots of money with coupons and specials.)
To find other ways to reduce your expenses, take a close look at your checkbook and credit card statements. You should also call your credit card companies to see if they will lower your interest rates, even if it is only for a short time.
You’ll be amazed at how many ways you can save money, especially once you start looking carefully at how you spend your money every month.
Shop Around for the Lowest Prices
For those expenses you can’t eliminate, it’s time to start shopping around for the best prices.
Once I realized you can shop around for just about ANYTHING you spend money on every month, I learned how to save myself SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS each and every month!
In fact, by shopping around I ended up saving myself more than $750 a year on car insurance alone!
The same is true of many of your monthly expenses – like long distance telephone service, internet service, all types of insurance, mortgages, and in some places even your utility bills.
