Saving Money
(General)
  • Habits are expensive
    • Cigarettes, coffee, candies/snacks, drugs (illicit or perscription)

  • Cup of coffee only $1. Two cups a day $2. Five days a week $10. All month $40.
    • Apply this to everything to understand real cost

  • Shop at thrift stores/dollar stores for some items
    • Get dishes, silverware, all the stuff you need for kitchen at thrift store cheap
      • make frequent visits as their stock is constantly being added to
      • Unique thrift stores sell all items for 50% off every Monday
    • Some dollar stores are better than others

  • Make frequent grocery trips
    • Buy mostly just what's needed for a couple days

  • Make use of your local public library
    • Rent movies, CD's, books, magazines, for FREE
    • Most have free internet
      • Do you require it at home enough to pay for it?

Car
  • New cars are expensive
    • Even leasing one

  • Save a lot of gas driving 60mph on highway
    • Usually only takes a couple minutes longer

  • Oil change every 3000-5000 miles or 3-5 months
    • This prevents more serious and costly repairs
Luxuries
  • Cell phones are expensive
    • Do you require this luxury?
      • A land phone can be aquired for around $10/mo
    • Most people would save around $1000/yr with no cell
