Let's face it: saving money is hard. It requires effort and discipline, plus the ability to resist temptation when you're tempted to spend money on things that are not worth it. I know you are trying.
It's also a lot easier to spend money than save it. The average American household carries about $15,000 in debt, and most people have several credit cards with balances that average $2,000 or more.
If you can get your financial house in order, you'll be able to live a better life for less money — and that means having more time to do the things that matter most to you.
Here are five ways to spend money lesser than you did:
1. Get an unlimited data plan, and stick to it.
2. Take advantage of free delivery on items you buy online through the mail.
3. Use public transportation instead of driving to work every day, even if that means taking an extra 20 minutes each day. It's worth it.
4. Always try to use coupons whenever possible when buying groceries or other items, as well as at restaurants and other businesses where coupons are available, such as gas stations and grocery stores.
5. When shopping for clothing, always look for sales and discounts by using a coupon or store credit card (or both!)
