Wouldn’t it be nice to put aside a little more money this year? After spending a little time on this earth, you come to realize that unexpected expenses are never-ending. You thought you’d put aside X amount of dollars last year, but then you had to get new tires on your car, buy a new vacuum, face an increase in your health insurance premium, and get a dog walker because your office asked you to come in three days a week. Before you knew it, you made X amount of dollars minus $1,200. That was a bummer. Since life won’t stop throwing surprise costs your way, the best way to combat it is to cut costs. If you do it the right way, you won’t feel a decrease in quality of life. Here are easily achievable resolutions to help you save more money this year.
Find free parking
Leave 10 minutes earlier so you can park in the residential area, three blocks away from your destination, for free, rather than at the $2 per hour meters right in front of it.
