So many of us need easy ways to save money right now don’t we?
Whether we’ve lost a job or income or are struggling with debt or the costs of a new baby or are just worried about what the next year will bring and want to put as much in an emergency fund as we can, we know we need to save money fast but it can feel so hard to actually do it, right?
We’re crazy tired and stressed and with money leaking out in a hundred different ways we can feel so overwhelmed we end up doing nothing, burying our head in the sand and feeling worse and worse about ourselves
Now most financial advisors will, at this point, tell us firmly to sit down and write a budget covering all our costs and stick to it.
But for many of us this doesn’t help.
Trying to budget overwhelms us more.
What we really need to do first is find super easy ways to save money and to do them today. And tomorrow. And the next day.
And some of the easiest ways to save money are to cancel and downgrade loads and loads of the services we’ve signed up to over the years that we don’t use or don’t need or just can’t afford.
I’ve got a big list of them here you can start taking action on right now without having to wade through your bank or credit card statements because trawling through them is guaranteed to get lots of us into an even bigger do-nothing-panic-cycle!!!
So if you need easy ways to save money, start working through this list. Not all of them will be relevant to you. It doesn’t matter, find one that is, focus on it and do it: get it cancelled or downgrade it, stop the leak.
Then focus on another one and stop that leak.
If we tackle one of these easy ways to save money quickly every day, we can in one month stop most of our stupid leaks. We’ll then have much simpler finances plus more head space and confidence to:
- Write & stick to a budget
- And think about some of the big changes we may need to make to enjoy a sustainable life without the burden of debt going forward.
I really hope this big list of easy ways to save money helps you to take action to cut spending and build your financial confidence.
