Saving money can be hard. Cost of living and debt seem to constantly be on the rise. Online shopping is so addicting, expensive, and of course you need to have a social life. Here are five easy ways you can start saving real money today!
Stop Paying For:
- Cable services! Streaming services are where it's at nowadays. Look into getting a Roku or something similar. The average cable bill is $100/month. Keep that extra $1,200 year for yourself.
- Cancel your Blue Apron, Ipsy, barkbox, or whatever you subscribe to for $10/month and save that $120/year.
- Skip the daily coffee run on your way to work. BREW YOUR OWN. Given you're not drinking some sugar-filled, whipped topping, Venti Starbucks drink on the regular, the average cup of Joe will run you $3 per day. That's over $780 a year!
- Quit eating expensive lunches and strive for $1 dollar lunches. This could be a fun and creative challenge. With the cheap cost of vegetables in the US and other areas it will save you money and you'll get to have healthy meals. That's a win/win. Save that $4/day and keep the extra $1,040/year in your bank account.
- Open a savings account & transfer $50/week into that account ($2,600/year)
TotalĀ Savings = $5,740!
