There is an old saying that if you don't break a dollar then you won't spend that dollar. That is even truer today if you talk about bigger bills, but the idea behind the saying stands. The smaller the money, the easier it is to part with. That's why so many people are parting with big bucks in small increments. Our minds just don't seem to be able to add it up. But if we stopped the little spending then we would be able to save big money every week. Here are some great ideas on how it can be done:
If you smoke or have to drink a cup of coffee from your local coffee shop every day, work to cut such expensive habits out of your life. If you save $4 a day on unnecessary expenses, you will have saved about $1,000 in a year's time.
Bring lunch to work instead of buying it. Not only will your meals be more varied and healthier if you do this, you will also save quite a bit of cash, roughly $5 a day. That adds up to $1,250 in a year.
Eat in instead of out. People who habitually eat out each week are wasting large amounts of money. If you opt to eat in just one day each week that you normally eat out, your family can save $2,500 annually.
Cut your hair at home. Big families with lots of girls can save around $30 per person by caring for their hair at home instead of the salon.
Get rid of the cable. Since watching TV isn't the best habit anyway, getting rid of the cable will save you time and money. If you save $60 a month by not having cable television you would keep $720 for yourself each year.
As you add to your savings by cutting back in various aspects of your life, put the money into investments that produce high interest yields, like CD's. Professionals can help you plan what to do with your money as it continues to grow into wealth.
The money you save can be used to pay off your home mortgage before you normally would which will in turn save you money in interest each month. Some mortgages, though, have prepayment penalties that should be considered. Don't accept a penalty that will cost you more than you interest payments would. - 16928
