Introduction
When
it comes to success in our professional and personal lives, few things are more
important than achieving a reasonable standard of living through wise personal
finance decisions. Through our job choices, our saving, and our investing
decisions, we determine what will be possible for us in the future, as well as
when we can retire and how pleasant our retirement will be.
Indeed,
this is all very important. However, without the right information available at
our fingertips, we can often become paralyzed when it comes time to make those
important decisions.
For
instance, when it comes time to save, we might decide to put it off to another
day. Or when it comes time to invest, we might jump the gun and it too early,
even though we have outstanding debts that bear high interest rates.
In
the rest of this ebook, we will consider 365 different tips—one for each day of
the year—that you can use to make these decisions the right way. Through this
book, I hope that you not only learn how to be frugal, how to save, and how to
invest, but also how to steer your career (and exploit money making
opportunities) in a way that will bring you closer to financial security and a
broad sense of satisfaction with your life and your choices.
365 Daily Tips On Saving And
Making More Money
Tip
#1: Buy products online.
One good way to limit impulse
buying is to buy products online. It will allow you to more easily comparison
shop. And it will also prevent you from thinking that you have to buy, so that
you don’t have to drive somewhere else to make the purchase.
Tip
#2: Comparison shop.
When making large purchases,
you should always comparison-shop. By spending an extra 20-30 minutes to
research your options, you could easily save hundreds or more.
Tip
#3: Use coupons.
Whether you’re grocery
shopping or shopping for new electronics, using coupons is always a good way to
go. So, from now on, stay in the habit of checking the newspaper and other
local sources of coupons.
Tip
#4: Use online coupon sites.
The Internet is now awash in
online coupon sites. They collect and store coupons that can be printed and
used at various brick-and-mortar stores. Before you step out of your house,
consider looking for coupons for your retail destination; and then putting them
to use.
Tip
#5: Enroll in rewards programs.
Grocery stores, clothing
stores, and other retail stores now offer rewards programs. By signing up for a
free membership, you can often gain access to a variety of coupons, discounts,
and cash-back offers. Be sure to enroll in rewards programs that are offered at
all of your favorite stores.
Tip
#6: Look for specials at the grocery store.
Grocery stores often have
specials on food they suspect they won’t be able to sell. Take advantage of
these specials by purchasing food that you want anyway, but at a sharp
discount.
Tip
#7: Create a shopping list in advance.
Eliminate junk food and foods
that are inessential by creating a shopping list in advance. At the end of the
day, you’ll walk away having spent less, and you’ll also have all of the
ingredients you’ll need for weekly meals.
Tip
#8: Wait for sales.
Some stores have regular
sales. For instance, many stores hold sales after Christmas and other major
holidays to sell off seasonal inventory. Take advantage of these predictable
sales by delaying your purchases.
Tip
#9: Limit entertainment spending.
Entertainment is important,
but can often be obtained cheaply. From now on, limit your spending on
entertainment until you have paid off your monthly bills and have saved a fixed
portion of your income.
Tip
#10: Reduce the amount of time you spend watching TV.
TV can be an endless
time-waster. It is easy to sit in front of the TV for hours on end, even if we
have tasks we could be working on to improve our lives and our finances. So try
cutting back on the amount of time you waste watching TV.
Tip
#11: Avoid surfing the net aimlessly.
Similar to wasting time on
TV, surfing the net is a bad habit that many of us have. Avoid doing it when
there are other, more productive, things you could be doing.
Tip
#12: Get a sewing kit.
Get a sewing kit and learn
how to use it. Next time you rip the leg of your pants or the arm of your
shirt, simply use the sewing kit to fix it, rather than buying an entirely new
article of clothing.
Tip
#13: Learn how to do basic home repairs.
Learning how to do basic home
repairs can save you a lot of money. Instead of calling a plumber or a
carpenter, you can simply do the repairs yourself, saving you money and
possibly also saving you the time it would take to negotiate the repairs.
Tip
#14: Limit spending on expensive toys.
As a parent, it is your
natural inclination to do what you believe is best for your child (and,
sometimes, to simply spoil them). But when it comes to toys, more (and more
expensive) is not always better. So, before you sink hundreds into the most
fashionable toys, think twice about whether or not your kid might be better
served by something less expensive.
Tip
#15: Go to the movies less.
Instead of going to the
movies all the time, stay home and rent a movie through your cable television
service and procure your own snacks. Instead of spending $30-50, you’ll spend a
mere $10.
Tip
#16: Substitute expensive food for cheaper foods.
Instead of dropping $200 per
week on groceries, think hard about which items are luxuries and which items
are actually important components of your weekly menu. Eliminate expensive
items in favor of cheaper ones.
Tip
#17: Buy store-brand products.
Store brand products are
cheaper and frequently identical to name brand items. So, instead of
immediately paying premium for the name brand product, consider at least trying
the store brand once.
Tip
#18: Use the slower shipping option.
When it comes to making
online purchases, it is often tempting to opt for the fastest shipping. From
now on, practice delayed gratification and opt for the slower, cheaper shipping
option.
Tip
#19: Buy gifts far in advance.
Many people wait until the
last moment to buy gifts. As a result, they end up spending a lot of money the
day or night before the event simply to get something nice. Instead of doing
this, allow yourself weeks or months to pick up the product. Instead of rushing
around the night before, you may stumble over it in a sale in the weeks leading
up to the event.
Tip
#20: Make your own gifts.
Candles, jewelry, and mix CDs
can often make excellent, highly personalized gifts. Instead of purchasing a
gift at the store, consider making one for your friend or family member.
Tip
#21: Take public transportation.
Public transportation is
often cheaper than owning, maintaining, and paying for gas for a car. Consider
selling your car and making the switch.
Tip
#22: Walk more.
Instead of driving your car
small distances to the store and post office, consider walking to those places
instead. Not only is it good for you, but it will save you money on gas and
wear-and-tear.
Tip
#23: Purchase a speed pass for tolls.
If the region you live in
offers an automatic toll pass, purchase it. It may have a high upfront cost,
but it will pay off in reduced tolls over time.
Tip
#24: Purchase a pass for public transportation.
Purchase a pass to take the
local train or subway system. In the long run, you’ll save a lot of money by
paying less each time you use public transportation.
Tip
#25: Spend money on entertainment with high re-use value.
Instead of sinking money into
video games and other forms of entertainment that cannot be reused, instead
focus on forms of entertainment that have a high re-usability factor. That is,
try to get the most entertainment per dollar spent.
Tip
#26: Purchase video games with high re-play value.
Similar to tip 25, purchase
video games that can be played 1,2,3, or more times. Don’t settle for
purchasing a $50 game that will no longer be enjoyable after a single play.
Tip
#27: Limit consumption of flavored drinks.
Flavored drinks are an
expensive luxury that frequently is not worth the amount we pay. Instead, take
a water bottle with you and fill it up at home using the tap.
Tip
#28: Make coffee or tea at home.
Buying coffee or tea at your
favorite place can often be a nice experience. However, it is many times more
expensive than making the same coffee or tea at home.
Tip
#29: Stop smoking.
Smoking is both unhealthy and
costly, so quit.
Tip
#30: Reduce alcohol consumption.
Excessive drinking is both
unhealthy and an unproductive activity. Cut the alcohol out of your budget and
your life.
Tip
#31: Replace incandescent light bulbs with compact fluorescents.
CFLs generate the light
without the heat. For this reason, they use less energy. So make the switch to
CFLs.
Tip
#32: Use the air conditioner and/or heater less frequently.
Air conditioners and heaters
can use a great deal of electricity. So if you don’t need to keep a room hot or
cool, don’t use them.
Tip
#33: Hold a yard sale or setup a booth at a flea market.
Holding a yard sale or
setting up a booth at a flea market will help you to a) get rid of the junk
accumulating in your closets; and b) pick up some extra cash.
Tip
#34: Invest more time into comparison-shopping for expensive products.
When it comes to high-ticket
items, spend extra time doing comparison-shopping. Consider using eBay, Google
Shopping, and other online platforms to compare prices, so that you get the
best deal.
Tip
#35: Base grocery shopping and meal plans around the availability of coupons.
Instead of using a fixed menu
to buy groceries, create your menu to fit the availability of coupons for a
particular week. This will ensure that you save as much as is possible each
time you grocery shop.
Tip
#36: Don’t become addicted to spending.
Some of us gain pleasure
simply by spending money. If you are one of those people, practice disciplining
yourself by not blowing cash simply when you feel depressed or down.
Tip
#37: Meet with a financial planner.
A financial planner can help
you to visualize your future; and how it will be shaped by savings decisions
today. Do this as soon as possible, and get yourself in a plan.
Tip
#38: Shop for clothes at second hand stores.
Second hand stores often
offer high-quality clothing for a mere fraction of the store price. Instead of
spending all of your money on expensive brands at retail stores, consider getting
the same items second hand.
Tip
#39: Shop at bulk stores.
Bulk stores allow you to get
massive amounts of products at a steep discount. If you want to save money in
the long run, buying from these stores (and then storing the remaining
quantities of the item) is the way to go.
Tip
#40: Cook in bulk.
Cooking in bulk is another
good way to save money and time. You can do this by producing a week’s worth of
food (or more) in a single session of cooking. You can then freeze the
remaining food and re-heat it later in the week.
Tip
#41: Go on fewer vacations.
Vacations can be tremendously
costly, so try to cut back on how frequently you take them.
Tip
#42: Limit spending on vacations.
When you do go on vacation,
try to spend less. Instead of purchasing expensive hotel rooms, expensive
dinners, and expensive drinks, try to reign things in and focus on being happy,
rather than achieving happiness through luxury.
Tip
#43: Go on cheaper vacations.
Go camping or take a
“stay-cation.” These can often be just as fun as a vacation to a far away
place, but much cheaper.
Tip
#44: Re-finance your house.
Since one of your largest
monthly expenses is probably your mortgage, it is always a good idea to
consider whether or not you could benefit from a re-finance. Do this
periodically to make sure that you are getting the best rate.
Tip
#45: Replace steak with chicken and pork.
Steak is much more expensive
than chicken and pork. Consider substituting between the meats to reduce the
amount you spent on groceries.
Tip
#46: Eat less meat.
Relative to the nutritional
value it provides, meat is one of the more expensive components of your grocery
spending. Consider cutting down on the amount you consume.
Tip
#47: Ask your credit card company to lower your interest rates.
Getting a lower interest rate
on your credit card is often as simple as placing a call to the company. Get in
the habit of doing this on a regular basis.
Tip
#48: Pay off high interest rate debt.
Instead of paying down
low-interest rate debt, pay down high-interest rate debt. This will reduce the
overall amount you pay for debt servicing.
Tip
#49: Ask to get fees waived.
Stores, credit card
companies, and membership programs are often willing to waive fees if you claim
that you will not use the service otherwise.
Tip
#50: Ask your cable television provider to offer you a cheaper package.
Instead of purchasing the
most expensive cable package, consider downgrading to one that only contains
the channels you need, but at a lower price.
Tip
#51: Move into a cheaper apartment or home.
If your rent or mortgage is
unsustainably high, then move into a cheaper apartment or home.
Tip
#52: Re-finance your car.
Consider re-financing your
car. If your income has increased or your credit has improved, you might be
able to get a lower rate.
Tip
#53: Sell your car.
Cars are expensive. Consider
selling yours and taking public transportation instead.
Tip
#54: Purchase a cheaper car.
Sell your car and buy a
cheaper one—or perhaps one that gets better gas mileage.
Tip
#55: Purchase additional razor blades, rather than entirely new razors.
Instead of buying a new
razor, buy new blades, which are often now sold separately.
Tip
#56: Re-fill ink cartridges, rather than buying new ones.
Ink cartridges can now
usually be re-filled using a toolkit and some toner. This is considerably less
expensive than purchasing a new cartridge.
Tip
#57: Re-finance your student loans.
If you are able to re-finance
your student loans at a lower rate, do it.
Tip
#58: Create a carpool for getting to work.
You need to get to work; and
so do your co-workers. Create a carpool to save on gas and wear-and-tear.
Tip
#59: Improve your gas mileage.
Use tricks to improve your
gas mileage, such as using cruise control. A few simple tricks could save you
$20 or more each week.
Tip
#60: Add air to your car’s tires.
Adding air to your car’s
tires (so that they are properly inflated) can improve your gas mileage
considerably.
Tip
#61: Try to fix broken items, rather than buying new ones.
Fixing broken chairs,
banisters, and other pieces of furniture or fixtures in your home is cheaper
than buying new ones.
Tip
#62: Take a bagged lunch to work.
If you’re careful, you can
take bagged lunches to work for a week for the same price you would spend in a
single day if you were to go out to lunch.
Tip
#63: Limit the frequency with which you dine out.
Dining out can be very
expensive; and it is often easy to ignore exactly how expensive it is. Try to
do it less frequently.
Tip
#64: When you go to restaurants, purchase cheaper dishes.
If you do decide to dine out,
don’t use that as a reason to splurge. Look for cheaper dishes and drink only
water.
Tip
#65: Go to less expensive restaurants.
Not all restaurants are
equally as pricey. Instead of blowing all of your cash on a fancy night out, go
to a cheaper one. It can easily be just as enjoyable.
Tip
#66: Shop at thrift stores.
Thrift stores often carry a
wide variety of second hand items, including books, clothing, and furniture.
Instead of buying things new, first consider going to a thrift store.
Tip
#67: Keep track of your debt.
Instead of paying attention
to your minimum payments only, keep track of the total amount of debt you’re holding,
including student loans, credit card debts, and your mortgage.
Tip
#68: Keep track of your savings and investments.
Many people make the mistake
of ignoring their savings and investment. As a result, they reap small
returns—if anything. They also face the risk of large losses during recessions
and bubble bursts. Pay attention to where your money is invested and saved.
Tip
#69: Get term, rather than permanent, life insurance.
Don’t invest in life
insurance. Instead, use it for its intended purpose: get term insurance.
Tip
#70: Use local exchange sites to find furniture.
Use local exchange sites to
get furniture. In many cases, you will be able to find bed frames, couches, and
shelves for free.
Tip
#71: Don’t store your credit card numbers online on sites.
Storing your credit card
information on sites like Amazon makes it easy for you to buy things you don’t
need, so don’t do it. Make it harder by not saving your information.
Tip
#72: Avoid impulse spending.
Never buy in the heat of the
moment. Instead, take some time to thing purchases over—especially when they
are large—before making the decision.
Tip
#73: Do not spend up to your credit limit.
Spending up to your credit
limit is rarely a good idea. Instead, try to stay as far away from your limit
as possible.
Tip
#74: Call your credit card company regularly.
Your credit card company can
do a lot for you. It can lower your APR, extend payment deadlines, and allow
you to enter into an extended grace payment or a debt repayment agreement. Take
advantage of these services, rather than simply not making payments.
Tip
#75: Avoid carrying a positive balance on any card that has a positive interest
rate.
If a credit card bears a
positive interest rate, you should pay it down immediately. Instead, transfer
the balance to a card that temporarily has 0% APR or pay it off as soon as is
possible.
Tip
#76: Cut up your credit card.
While closing credit card
accounts can often look like a negative on credit reports, no one will know if
you cut up a card and threw it out. So cut up most of your credit cards and
throw them out, but maintain your accounts.
Tip
#77: Use a credit card for small purchases.
In order to improve your
credit, use your card for small, daily purchases. Pay the balance off from
these purchases each month.
Tip
#78: Be mindful of teaser rates.
Most credit card companies
will offer an initial teaser rate. Be mindful that this is not your permanent
APR, but instead a temporary APR that is likely to change in a matter of
months.
Tip
#79: Never exceed your card’s credit limit.
Exceeding your card’s credit
limit often comes with costly penalties. Avoid doing it.
Tip
#80: Get a copy of your credit report.
At least twice a year, get a
copy of your credit report to check for errors or for problems you missed.
Tip
#81: Ask your bank for better terms.
Call your bank and ask for
better terms. This could help you to eliminate fees and get a higher interest
rate.
Tip
#82: Switch to a bank that has more ATMs in your area.
If you constantly find
yourself paying fees to use other banks’ ATMs, consider switching to a bank
that offers more ATMs in your area.
Tip
#83: Put money in a certificate of deposit (CD).
CDs often require you to hold
money for a given period of time (often 6 months or 12 months). This can be a
useful device to prevent yourself from spending the money.
Tip
#84: Put a fixed fraction of your income into your savings.
Instead of thinking about how
much to save each month, automatically put 10% of your income into savings each
month. This is a good habit to develop earlier.
Tip
#85: Avoid putting money you’ll need soon into stocks.
Stock returns can be volatile
relative to other investment instruments; however, for this reason, investing
in stocks usually yields a high long-run return. For this reason, don’t invest
money you’ll need in the short run in stocks.
Tip
#86: If you’re planning to put money away for retirement, put it into a mutual
fund.
Put retirement savings into a
mutual fund. Talk to your advisor to make sure the money is invested well.
Tip
#87: Invest your money in index funds.
Index funds are often
cheapest to invest in and provide one of the best risk-adjusted returns.
Consider putting retirement savings into index funds.
Tip
#88: Cut down on extras on your cell phone plan.
Get rid of extras on your
cell phone plan, including extended texting and data plans.
Tip
#89: Text less frequently.
If you pay on a per-text
basis, text less frequently with your cell phone.
Tip
#90: Clean your car at home, rather than paying for it.
Instead of bringing your car
to the car wash, grab a bucket of soapy water and a big sponge and get to work.
You could save yourself a lot of money.
Tip
#91: Get your tires rotated.
Rotating your tires can
significantly improve your gas mileage and cut down on wear-and-tear. Make sure
you do it regularly.
Tip
#92: Wash your car after snow storms.
If you live in a cold weather
area, make sure that you wash your car after snow storms to clean off all of
the salt. This will save you money on maintenance costs in the long run.
Tip
#93: Start riding a bike.
Riding a bike is a good way
to both get in shape and save money. Do it rather than driving your car
everywhere.
Tip
#94: Avoid clothes that require expensive upkeep, such as dry-cleaning.
Instead of opting for clothes
that involve extensive dry cleaning, get clothes that do not require any
special care. This will save you a considerable amount of money in upkeep.
Tip
#95: Make your own cards to go with gifts.
Use one of the many available
sites to create and print out a personalized card. This is considerably cheaper
than buying one at the store; and may result in a more personalized card.
Tip
#96: Offer to babysit as a gift.
If your friend or family
member has children, offer to babysit for their children as a birthday present.
Tip
#97: Use Open Source software, rather than expensive, proprietary software.
Open Source software, such as
OpenOffice, is free. Consider downloading and using it, rather than using
expensive software.
Tip
#98: Reduce your printing or print at the office.
Print less or print only when
you can do it for free. This can easily save you $40 or more each month.
Tip
#99: Print unimportant documents in the draft setting.
Cartridges can last much
longer if they are primarily used to print draft-quality documents. From now
on, consider using draft for documents that do not need to be high-quality.
Tip
#100: Sell your old clothes on eBay.
If you have extra clothing
that no longer fits (or that you no longer like), sell it on eBay for some
extra cash.
Tip
#101: Use eBay to sell off old computers or computer parts.
If you have an old computer
that you no longer use, sell it on eBay or at least take it apart and sell its
parts, such as the professor, motherboard, and ram.
Tip
#102: Use local exchanges to sell old furniture.
Sell your old furniture on
local exchange sites. Even if you do not make a lot of money off of each piece,
you can at least get someone to haul away your old furniture for free.
Tip
#103: Negotiate the price of your car.
Whenever you buy a car,
negotiate the price, rather than taking what is offered. Often, this can save
you several hundred dollars.
Tip
#104: Bring someone who is good at bargaining next time you purchase a
big-ticket item.
If you’re planning to buy a
big-ticket item, such as a house or a car or expensive jewelry, bring a good
haggler with you. Make sure that this person does the talking and helps you to
get a lower price.
Tip
#105: Avoid purchasing store warranties.
Store warranties for
electronics and other products are often rip-offs. Given the probability of
replacement, the cost of the warranty is simply too high.
Tip
#106: Look for independent insurance for products online.
If you purchase an expensive
cell phone or television, look for independent insurance online. This can
frequently be obtained at a much lower price.
Tip
#107: Use a clothesline, rather than your dryer.
It might seem embarrassing at
first, but consider using a clothesline, rather than a dryer. You could save a
great deal of electricity.
Tip
#108: Turn off the lights when you’re not using a room.
If you’re not using a room,
shut off the lights. Don’t pay for electricity if you aren’t using it.
Tip
#109: Clean off your refrigerator coils.
Cleaning off your
refrigerator coils on a regular basis can significantly reduce the cost of
refrigeration by improving its efficiency.
Tip
#110: Use a bank that offers online banking services.
Being able to access your
records online can make an important difference when it comes to saving and
spending decisions, so use a bank that offers online records.
Tip
#111: Pay your bills online.
Companies are often willing
to reduce your bill if you pay online. Doing this for 3-5 companies can cut
your bills back by $50 or more per month.
Tip
#112: Enroll in automatic bill pay.
Similar to tip 111, companies
also are often willing to pay more if you enroll in automatic bill pay.
Tip
#113: Purchase a coupon book for entertainment.
A coupon book is a book that
contains hundreds of coupons for different products and events in your area.
Consider paying the nominal fee of $10 or $20 to purchase one of these books.
Tip
#114: Sign up for entertainment coupon sites.
Local coupon sites often
offer region-specific coupons on a daily or weekly basis. Enroll in these sites
to save on your entertainment and dining costs.
Tip
#115: Join a less expensive gym.
Gyms vary greatly in price.
Some are a mere $10 per month. Others cost well over $100. Quit your current gym
and switch to a cheaper one that offers the amenities you need.
Tip
#116: Search out coupons for restaurants.
Many sites, including
restaurant.com, offer large dining coupons. By joining and taking advantage of
these sites, you can eat for a fraction of the normal price. That is for as
little as $2, you can get a $20 meal.
Tip
#117: Give up your gym membership and jog instead.
Instead of going to an
expensive gym, give up your membership and get on a regular jogging routine.
Tip
#118: Go to matinee showings of movies to save money.
Matinee showings of movies
are frequently ½ to 2/3 the price of night showings. Consider switching your
movie viewing times to save money.
Tip
#119: Buy plane tickets far in advance.
In general, the further you
purchase plane tickets in advance, the cheaper they will be. So don’t wait
until the last moment.

follow through.

consider offering proofreading services for college students for a nominal fee.
You can do this at a local university or by seeking out students on sites like
Elance.com.
Tip
#276: Work as a paid forum poster.
If you already like posting
on forums, consider taking a job as a forum poster. Usually, you will be
assigned to a niche and to a set of forums; and you will then need to meet a
certain quota for forum posts each day.
Tip
#277: Become a paid site administrator.
If you have good programming
and site management skills, consider becoming a site administrator for a number
of different small Internet-based companies. You can find these jobs through

skills, hire a developer to create the script for you. And then market it and
sell it yourself.
Tip
#280: Develop a Facebook application.
If you have an interest in
developing applications, consider developing one for a massive platform, such
as Facebook.

skills, but are able to install scripts for sites, offer that service for a low
fee on business forums and on Elance.com.

Offer to submit sites to link
directories for a fixed price. Do this on webmaster forums and on freelancing
sites.
Tip
#283: Work as an SEO consultant.
If you have experience in
site promotion, consider working as a freelance SEO consultant. While this
might not be a full time job, it might not be a bad way to pick up some extra
income.
Tip
#284: Work in freelance data entry.
Data entry is a simple job
that usually does not require any high-level skills. Consider picking up data
entry jobs on Elance.com to do when you have spare time.

To make some extra money,
consider renting a server and then using that server to sell storage space to
people who own and run Internet-based businesses.
Tip
#286: Work as a domain name speculator.
Buying, holding, and
reselling domains can be highly profitable if you do it correctly. Consider
working as a domain name speculator to make some extra cash.
Tip

If you have a strong interest
in a particular niche, consider creating an online subscription site that
provides information, software, and books related to that topic.
Tip
#288: Design and sell site logos.
If you have knack for website
design, consider designing and selling logos for webmasters on sites like
sitepoint.com.
Tip
#289: Sell clip art.
Similar to tip 288, but with

Tip
#290: Sell customized avatars for forums.
Similar to tip 288, but with
forum avatars.
Tip
#291: Broker link exchanges between sites for a fee.
In order to generate traffic,
sites need to get inbound links from high-PR, high-traffic sites. Consider
working to broker exchanges and sales between sites that want to acquire links
from high PR sites.
Tip
#292: Eliminate credit card debt before investing.
When it comes to investing,
try to eliminate all of your credit card debt before putting money into
investment. Since the interest rate on your credit cards is higher than your
return, the best investment you can make is to eliminate it.
Tip
#293: Eliminate debt in order of the size of the interest rate.
When you eliminate credit
card debt, do it in order of the size of the interest rate. Highest interest
rates should go first.
Tip
#294: Take on a moderate amount of risk when investing.
Whenever you invest, take on
at least a little bit of risk. Otherwise, you are unlikely to earn anything more
than a 0% return.
Tip
#295: Don’t put all of your money into bonds.
As with tip 294, don’t
approach investing too conservatively—especially if you are investing for a
far-away retirement.
Tip
#296: Stop scaling your consumption up when your income rises.
When your income rises, add
more to your income, rather than to your consumption.
Tip
#297: Practice frugality in all your choices.
In all choices in your life,
practice frugality. Try to look for a cheap, but good-enough option, rather
than the most expensive option.
Tip
#298: Don’t try to “keep up” with your friends.
Stop trying to “keep up” with
your friends by spending more. Instead, accept that the newest, largest TV and
a new car simply may be out of your financial reach.
Tip
#299: Live simply.
Practice living simply and
finding enjoyment in simple, inexpensive activities. Do not rely on money to
bring happiness.
Tip
#300: Create a budget and follow it carefully.
Instead of allowing ad-hoc
spending to rule your life, create a monthly budget and follow it carefully.
Unless you have a very good reason, do not deviate.
Tip
#301: Budget with your spouse.
If you’re married, budget
jointly with your spouse. Instead of shifting money between you, figure out how
much you have together and determine your financial decisions jointly.
Tip
#302: Update your budget at least once monthly.
At least once a month,
re-consider the budget you have created and decide whether you have allocated
the right amounts to the right categories. If it is unrealistic or puts too
much into a particular category, re-adjust your budget.
Tip
#303: Use the lowest octane fuel permitted for your car by your owner’s manual.
If your car does not require
high-octane fuel, then don’t use it. It does nothing to help your car and is
more expensive.
Tip
#304: Shop around for cheaper homeowner’s or renter’s insurance.
Don’t simply take the first
option you get for renter’s or homeowner’s insurance. Instead, try to find a
company that offers the right type of coverage and at a price you can afford.
Tip
#305: Avoid taking out home equity loans.
Home equity loans are a good
way to ensure that you never pay off your mortgage and never own your home.
Unless you need to take one out to cover medical bills or something similarly
important, do not get one.
Tip
#306: Periodically shop around for a re-finance.
From time-to-time, look
around to re-finance your mortgage. You could save a tremendous amount in
monthly payments through a tiny interest rate reduction.
Tip
#307: Adjust your tax withholding to give yourself a raise.
In many cases, your tax
withholding will be too high. Take the time to adjust it, so that you can have
the money now—rather than when you pay taxes.
Tip
#308: Switch to paperless notifications for your bills.
Many companies will take
$5-10 off of your bill when you use paperless notifications exclusively. Do
this with all of your bills.
Tip
#309: Use the library, rather than purchasing new books.
Instead of buying new books,
use the local library or the university library to check out the book.
Tip
#310: Look for DVDs at the library, rather than renting them.
Use the local library to
borrow DVDs, rather than paying $5-10 to rent them for a few days.
Tip
#311: Sell your car and use an e-carpooling connection service to get to work.
Use an e-carpooling service
to find rides to work. Usually, you can do this without having a car, as long
as you are willing to pay for gas.
Tip
#312: Check to see whether or not your checking account is insured by the
Federal government.
If the Federal government
insures your account, then you will not be at risk of losing money if anything
happens to the bank, which you are using to save.
Tip
#313: Shop around for the savings account that offers the highest yield at
little to no risk.
Most savings accounts bear
little to no risk. Take advantage of this by finding the savings account that
offers the highest return.
Tip
#314: As you get older, shift more of your money from stocks to bonds.
As you get closer to
retirement, move your money away from risky equities and into government and
AAA-rated bonds. Your average return will be smaller, but you will hedge
against losing a large portion of your net worth with few working years left to
recover it.
Tip
#315: Set aside money for savings before you allocate money to any other budget
category.
Consider saving first and
spending later. Intuitively, this might seem backwards, but in reality, it is
an excellent habit to develop.
Tip
#316: Develop good saving habits.
Get in the habit of putting
extra money into your savings whenever you have it, rather than finding ways to
blow it.
Tip
#317: Start saving early.
Instead of waiting until you
are in your 30s or 40s to start saving for retirement, start doing it while
you’re young. Compound interest will make this investment deciding pay off.
Tip
#318: Get a free savings account.
Instead of getting a savings
account that requires various fees and payments, look for a free account. In
most situations, if you are keeping at least $100 in the account, you can do it
for free.
Tip
#319: Try to negotiate a lower rate in exchange for using direct deposit.
Some banks will give you
incentives to use direct deposit and electronic transfers, rather than
check-cashing. See if you can use this as a bargaining chip to negotiate lower
fees.
Tip
#320: Credit cards that offer rebates or rewards might not always be the best
option.
Even if a card offers 3% cash
back, it might not be the best card for you. Consider other dimensions of the
card, such as its APR and its annual fee.
Tip
#321: Set saving goals.
Decide how much you want to
save before you hit 30, 40, and 50. Make specific goals and try to keep them.
Tip
#322: Execute your saving goals.
When it comes to your saving
plan, execution is key. It is one thing to say “I want to have at least
$60,000/yr to live off of after I retire” and it is another thing to make it
happen. Don’t let yourself drift too far when trying to execute your savings
plan.
Tip
#323: Set goals for your business.
If you own a business, set
goals for its growth and development. Instead of letting things drift, force
them to move in a favorable direction.
Tip
#324: Set personal finance goals.
When it comes to personal
finance, keep yourself on track by creating goals. For instance, set a goal to
create and stick to a monthly budget. Or set a goal to not miss a single bill
(or pay late) for an entire year.
Tip
#325: Periodically assess how well you have kept your goals.
On a regular basis, decide
whether you have lived up to your business and financial goals. If you’re doing
poorly, ask why. And also think about how you can improve.
Tip
#326: Stay consistent with your saving habits.
From time to time, we
convince ourselves that we don’t need to save when our lives become financially
difficult. However, in reality, we are setting ourselves up to cycle between
good and bad saving behavior.
Tip
#327: Find a better job.
One important way to increase
your income is simply to find a better job. If you’ve been working at the same
place for 10 years and have received few raises, consider leveraging your
experience and switching to a job that is willing to pay you more.
Tip
#328: Don’t buy things you cannot afford.
In general, a good way to
save money is to avoid buying things you cannot afford. If you can’t afford a
big screen TV without paying for it with credit, then don’t buy it.
Tip
#329: If you’re a student, buy paperback versions of textbooks.
As a student, textbooks can
be incredibly expensive. For this reason, you should try to hunt down paperback
and pre-owned versions on half.com, Amazon.com, and other book resellers.
Tip
#330: Buy electronic versions of tangible products.
If a product comes in both a
tangible and electronic form, opt for the electronic form. It will often be
considerably cheaper.
Tip
#331: Check retailmenot.com for coupons prior to checking out.
When purchasing items on
online retail stores, check retailmenot.com to determine whether or not there
are any coupons available for that store.
Tip
#332: Recycle your old clothing into things you need.
If you have old clothing that
you do not wear, consider recycling it into something you need, such as a wall
decoration, a wallet, or a bracelet.
Tip
#333: Use old decorations in new ways.
A vase that holds flowers can
become a vase that holds decorative sand or beads. Be creative in using old
decorations to make new ones.
Tip
#334: Use book trade-in websites to get new books.
Use a book trade-in site to
exchange your old books that you’ve already read for new ones. This is an
excellent alternative to constantly purchasing new books.
Tip
#335: Use trade-in websites to get new DVDs.
Similar to 334, but with
DVDs.
Tip
#336: Use trade-in websites to get new CDs.
Similar to 334, but with CDs.
Tip
#337: Unplug electronics when not in use.
When not in use, many
electronics still consume energy if they are plugged in. So, from now on,
unplug energy-sucking appliances when they are not in use.
Tip
#338: Use a powerstrip with your electronics in your entertainment center.
Use a powerstrip with all of
the electronic devices in your entertainment center. When not in use, click off
the power strip.
Tip
#339: Shut the water off while you brush your teeth.
Saving water can reduce your
utilities bills. So next time you brush your teeth, remember to shut off the
water, rather than letting it run.
Tip
#340: Spend less time in the shower.
As with tip 339, try to
conserve water by spending less time in the shower.
Tip
#341: Bottle your own water.
Instead of purchasing
expensive bottled water, fill a water bottle up using the tap in your house.
Tip
#342: Use rechargeable batteries.
Instead of constantly buying
new batteries, purchase rechargeable batteries, which will last for many
cycles.
Tip
#343: If you have a young child, use cloth diapers.
If you have a young child,
consider using cloth diapers, rather than plastic diapers to save on costs.
Tip
#344: Use the Internet at the library.
Instead of paying for an
Internet connection at home, use the Internet at the library.
Tip
#345: Use public goods and services.
Make use of public goods and
services, such as public wifi stations.
Tip
#346: Take advantage of free promotional offers from local businesses.
When businesses offer free
food and drinks or free promotional productions, take advantage of these
offers.
Tip
#347: Water your lawn less frequently.
To save on your utilities
bills, try to water your lawn less frequently.
Tip
#348: Use powdered juice mixes, rather than soda.
Instead of purchasing bottles
of soda, drink tap water mixed with powdered juice. This will be considerably
less expensive.
Tip
#349: When traveling, stay at a friend’s house, rather than a hotel.
If you’re planning to go on
vacation or to visit friends or family, plan to stay at someone’s house, rather
than in a hotel. You could save hundreds on a week-long trip.
Tip
#350: Use couchsurfing.com to find places to stay while traveling.
If you don’t have anyone to
stay with on your next trip, use couchsurfing.com to locate people who are
willing to host visitors in their homes.
Tip
#351: Keep an eye on social media sites, such as Twitter, for limited time
offers.
Many businesses, including
retail stores, airlines, and others, offer limited time offers on Twitter. By
taking advantage of these brief offers, you can save hundreds of dollars.
Tip
#352: Fill surveys to get free stuff.
Today, many companies offer
free products and cash in exchange for filling out surveys. Do this wherever
possible.
Tip
#353: If dissatisfied with a product or service, contact the company.
If you are unhappy with a
product or service, you could consider contacting the company who produced it.
In many cases, they will be willing to offer a refund or free products.
Tip
#354: Try samples of new products before purchasing.
Before you make a large
purchase, try out a free sample. For instance, drive a car before you buy it.
Or taste-test an expensive wine or food before you purchase large quantities of
it.
Tip
#355: Print photos at a local store, rather than using an expensive photo
printer.
Instead of purchasing an
expensive photo printer, print your photos at a local print shop. Typically,
this is cheaper than paying for photo printer ink.
Tip
#356: Use an over-the-air TV, rather than cable.
If you are short on cash, get
rid of cable and use over-the-air TV instead. This can save you hundreds over
the course of a year.
Tip
#357: Contact your TV and Internet provider for the most recent bundles and
deals.
If you feel like you might be
paying too much for your TV and Internet, contact your cable company to find
out about the most recent deals. You may find that similar packages are now
available at a much lower price.
Tip
#358: Don’t let your batteries for electronic products drain down to 0%.
Do not allow batteries for
your electronics to drain down completely on a regular basis. This will
decrease the long term total life of the battery.
Tip
#359: Search Craigslist or eBay for used goods.
If you need a new shelf or a
new tire for your car, look first on Craigslist and eBay before you go anywhere
else. You will not only be able to comparison shop more easily, but you will
also save a lot of money.
Tip
#360: When grocery shopping, look for “day old” food that is now on sale.
Day old food, such as bread,
is often sold at a sharp discount in the grocery store. Look for this section
to get big discounts.
Tip
#361: Take your pets to a non-profit vet.
Non-profit vets often offer
considerably lower rates. Seek one out before you go to for-profit vets.
Tip
#362: Eat in. Don’t order out.
Instead of ordering food, eat
at home. This will save you money; and may even save you the time you’d spend
waiting around for a delivery.
Tip
#363: In the winter, seal windows with plastic wrap to save money on heating.
Insulating your home better
can drastically reduce your energy costs. One way you can do this is by covering
windows with plastic.
Tip
#364: Only heat or air-condition the part of the house you are using.
If you’re not using a room,
then don’t pay to heat or air-condition it. Instead, shut off the heater or air
conditioner.
Tip
#365: Check online for free, local forms of entertainment.
Before you drop hundreds of
dollars on entertainment, first see if you can find local entertainment through
online announcement services. In many cases, you will be able to find free
events in your area that will provide just as much fun as you could get from an
expensive night out.
