Tips for more money
5 Stealthy tricks to Help Put More Money in your pocket
You all know what the pink pig with the coin slot on his head represents. You loved it when you were a kid because you knew when Christmas came you had that little extra to let your brothers and sisters know how much you loved then or mom and dad.
Now that you are grown up those thought s you had of saving are the same but with a different purpose. Now you’re independent and you have a family of your own so making sure that money is available when you need it and for the future is and should be your priority.
The pink pig is now grown into 401ks, Roth IRAs, and Retirement and College funds for the kids.
So here are a few tips to help you make sure you keep these new pigs nice and fat. Lol!
1. Consider you hourly worth
If you want to save money quit spending impulsively. When you buy breakfast, lunch and dinner out because you work everyday think about the fact that if you make 20 per hour you just spent maybe $40 to $50 dollars on food you just spent a couple of hours worth of you pay for the day before the next day even starts.
2. Think of time away as money you could be making
If you have the option for overtime take it. No sense in loosing additional pay on watching your favorite TV shows when you can just record and catch up on them later.
3. Think of what you are saving as money you actually earned
So you have mastered the art of not splurging, Great! Now take it a step further. Instead of thinking of that money as money saved, think of it as money you earned by not spending it. This stealthy trick will allow you to get into the habit of paying yourself consistently.
4. Make every Dollar Count
Money doesn’t really have any meaning to you unless you use it. You could have a Hundred Grand in the bank but until you use it it’s just sitting there doing nothing. But if you use that money to take your family on a camping trip the memories will last way after you guys have put out that camp fire that you told scary stories around the night before. So make every dollar count for something meaningful.
5. Enjoy Moments and Experiences
Add up your daily $3 Starbucks coffee habit over the course of a year, you might be shocked to realize you’re spending anywhere from $700 to $1000 yearly on a drink that lasts you twenty minutes. As crazy as that sounds you do love your cup of coffee so instead of quitting cold turkey cut it down to once or twice a week or to treat yourself. You will enjoy that cup of coffee much more when you really need it rather than when you just do it because it was a habit.
