Saving a little more

It doesnt take the perfect budget, huge paycheques, or the best investments to be financially comfortable.πŸ’΅

Sometimes as little as $25-50 per week can make a massive impact on your future finances. Most people are able to save a little more, just they dont.😳

For me, I tried looking at what is costing me extra money every month that I dont need to spend. Here is what I did.πŸ‘€

-Canceled my apple music subscription, I already pay a good amount per month for my phone bill with lots of data, so I figured I should just stream music on soundcloud for free and deal with the ads. Saving me $12.42/month, or $149.04/year.🀯

-Canceled uber one subscription, I think uber one is designed for very wealthy users, because its hard to justify paying that subscription unless you constantly order food or you value your time far more than your money. Saving me another $11.29/month, or $135.48/year.😳

-Stopped buying coffee everyday and started making it at home, everyone has heard it before but the $2.50 I spent on coffee everyday really did add up, up to around $900/year actually. But making your coffee at home can save you more than you think, likely around 50%+. Now I probably spend about $400/year on coffee.😌

So its not always about eliminating those extra costs, but sometimes just slashing them or downgrading things to make your financial life a little easier to manage.πŸ˜‰β˜•οΈ
