RAISE YOUR AWARENESS
1. Track your spending and review it monthly to understand where your money goes.
2. If you see something you’d like to buy, hit the pause button. Waiting 24 hours can often dramatically reduce impulse purchases
BOOST YOUR INCOME
3. Seek avenues for income growth by negotiating a raise based on performance or finding higher-paying roles.
4. Earn more from your credit card by applying for one that pays the most cash back possible and doesn’t charge an annual fee. Just make sure you can pay off the balance each month.
5. Maximize your 401K savings by meeting or exceeding your employer’s contributions.
6. Automatically deposit a portion of your paychecks into savings.
7. Sell what you don’t use to bring in extra cash and eliminate clutter before you move.
CUT YOUR COSTS
8. Cancel recurring charges you don’t use or are willing to suspend, potentially including streaming services, gym memberships, phone apps, and more.
9. Use registered shopper savings programs. Search stores’ digital apps or sales flyers to find the best prices and clip coupons on what you need.
10. Ask retailers if they’ll match competitors’ prices. Many will.
11. Discover insurance discounts. Ask your agent if they offer any discounts (AAA memberships, etc.) or if you can save money by paying your bill annually instead of semi-annually or monthly.
12. Decrease monthly fees for cable, internet, and phone services by switching providers or plans.
13. Reduce your discretionary spending by scaling back on perks like dinners out, vacations, and daily coffee shop visits.
14. Get a roommate. One of the easiest ways to cut your monthly costs is to rent an apartment with a roommate and split the expenses.
15. Stay with your parents. Moving home may feel like a step backward, but it can be an excellent temporary money-saving solution.
