10 Simple Saving Strategies (w/o becoming cheap) • Don’t become emotionally separated from your money. (Direct deposit, debit cards…make it very easy!) • Understand and be honest about expense classifications. • Discretionary expenses = wants (cell phone, take out lunch, non-work clothes, vacation, gifts, movies, etc) • Nondiscretionary = needs (house, taxes, doctors, commuting expenses, utilities, gas, food, car, etc) • The time to lower your “needs” spending was yesterday. • Enjoy free stuff! • Major on the major. (more time on major purchases!)
Enjoy being with people you like. • Don’t blow off the recurring minor (cable bill, cell phone plan, morning coffee, ATM fees, bank fees, dry cleaning, etc) • Spend with comfort on items or experiences you value highly. • You won’t spend what you don’t see. (automatic transfer) • Constant budgeting isn’t required.
