How to Save More and Spend Less
There are many simple ways to save more money without feeling the pain. You can even turn it into a challenge or a game to make it more enjoyable.
1.
You went shopping and now your pocket is heavy with loose change. Count it, keep what you might need for bus tickets and put the rest in a piggy bank. After two months, empty the piggy bank and deposit(存储) the amount in your saving account.
Give up your expensive habits.
Cut down on the beer and cigarettes. Not only will this keep you healthier, but it’ll let you save up on unwanted expenses. 2. If you don’t stop now, you’ll end up paying a lot more for them anyway.
Visit ATMs less often.
Reducing the times you use the ATM can help you cut down on your costs. 3. By doing so you won’t have to make unnecessary withdrawals(取款).
Use cash.
Every time you use your credit card or cellphone to pay for something, you’re losing track of exactly how much you’ re spending. If you’re buying something, buy it with cash. This will give you a clearer idea of how much you’re actually spending. 4.
Carry your own bag when shopping.
With the government taking measures to reduce plastic usage, most shops have moved onto paper and cloth bags. 5. Instead of paying for these, carry your own bag.
A. Save your change.
B. Instead of turning to those machines, manage your finance well.
C. However, these are more expensive when compared to plastic ones.
D. Seeing more money leaving your hands, you’ ll be more aware of spending.
E. Even the government is increasing the tax on these to reduce the use of them.
