I have been doing a bit of digging on the different ways to save cash and have located numerous good ideas amongst the ones that are not so good. Ideas that are not so worthwhile are those that are unrealistic (“pay off your credit cards now and save interest” which you would have done if you were able to), lame (coupons and rebates and corny scams like that) and too much of a sacrifice (use public transportation, etc) So, here are a few worthwhile suggestions… 1 TAXES – Restructure the total taken out of your weekly pay. Take the extra dollars coming in and put it into a solid investment like a high yielding mutual fund or such and then keep the interest at the end of the year and return the principle to the tax collector so your tax payments are correct. Could be more like a pay increase than a savings. 2 CAR INSURANCE – Raise your car insurance deductible. By agreeting to a bigger deductible you can save 10-15% off your car insurance which may equal $100-200/year or more. If you are a lousy driver then don’t choose this! lol 3 COMBINE YOUR PROVIDERS – You can put your home phone, internet, cable tv, sometimes also your cell phone into one bill and save $50/month or more 4. CHOOSE RESTAURANTS WHERE YOU DON’T HAVE A WAITRESS – I have one right down the road from where I live. You order at the counter and then go sit and they do bring the food but you are not expected to leave a tip.. 5. HOME ENTERTAINMENT – You can sign up for a Blockbuster or Netflix membership and save substantially on your expensive DVD watching addiction. Alternatively you can obtain a library card and not pay a nickle for all the movies you can watch! 6. DITCH YOUR HEALTH CLUB – Too crowded, too dirty, a bit disgusting, meat market, kind of torture self inflicted… there are many reasons to not enjoy going to the gym besides the cost. But a good brisk stroll or some sit ups are just as effective in most cases as anything you can do at the gym. 7. OPTIMIZE YOUR GAS CONSUMPTION – Properly using water in your gasoline system can save you up to 1/3 off gasoline costs for your car by making the gasoline you buy perform better. If you pay $40/week for gas you might just save $600 or more per year!
