Living a frugal lifestyle does not mean having to live a life of deprivation. Instead, there are simple things you can do to cut back on spending in an effort to save money. If you are wondering how, try the four easy tips listed below. Trying these out can easily give you a little more room in your budget each month.
Dine Out Less
Dining out less is one of the number one ways to cut back on spending. Eating out is an expensive habit, and you can easily pad your wallet a little more each month simply by dining out less. It’s okay once in a while but try making it more of a treat than every meal.
Cancel Recurring Subscriptions
Too many recurring subscriptions add up fast and could be one way you are bleeding your cash monthly. Sometimes we have recurring subscriptions that we no longer need, want, or have completely forgotten about. One way to catch this is to look at your credit card statement and figure out if there is anything that you have forgotten or want to cancel and than follow through.
Clean Out Your Closet
We all have clothes and shoes we don’t really want or use anymore, so why not make some extra money by selling them? To help you, here are some great apps you can leverage; Poshmark, ThredUp, and Mercari. Happy selling!
Make An Airtight Budget
Making an airtight budget will do wonders for your wallet. If you want to know how to save money, forcing yourself to make a budget and accounting for every dollar is a great way to see where you are losing, and where you can gain some control. It’s easy to talk yourself out of something on the budget, but if you make one that’s airtight and refuse to sway from it, it can be your best friend. In December 2020, Nerwallet wrote an article that listed the “7 Best Budget Apps for 2021.” We encourage you to check them out to help on this new life-changing journey.
