PRACTICAL ADVICE THAT CAN SAVE YOU LOST OF MONEY

1. ___________________________

Do you have your eye on a cool little gadget or a grate pair of shoes you know will change your life? Hold off on the purchase – don’t buy it right now, buy in the next week. Chances are very good that you’ll forget about this item and other items you use this technique on.

2. ___________________________

Again, this one’s obvious, but it saves you loads of money. How much money? Well, if you live in New York and smoke a pack a week, that’s $754 a year.

3. _________________________

Do you buy an &8 cup of coffee every morning. Buy a big, good Thermos, and brew own. Bonus points: keep a few extra mugs at your desk and share with coworkers.

4. ___________________________

If you use an item often and it’s not perishable, buy a great amount of it. You’ll go poor towels, two at a time. Same with razor blades, toiletries – probably 90% of everything at your grocery store .

5. ____________________________

When you get paid, systematically put some money into saving – a lot of people like to use the 10% rule of thumb. Just make this an autonomic deposit to yourself.

6. ____________________________

This tip goes hand in hand with tip #5 . If you’re going to save it, don’t put it in a saving account. There are much better types of accounts that will appreciate your saving. Your money depreciates faster than the ridiculously low interest rate.

Depreciate – знецінювати

In bulk – у великій кількості

Perishable – який швидко псується

A Buy in Bulk E Make Your Own coffee

B Pay Yourself F Avoid Loans

C Quit Smoking G Put Off Buying it for Another Week

D Make Your Money Work for You H try Free Shipping
