If you’re anything like me, then you’re constantly searching for ways to save money and cut down on spending, so that you can have more money for your investments and travelling – of course. Life can be pretty expensive especially if you have a lot of financial commitments, so finding a way to cut costs down whether for small purchases or big purchases, can make a big difference over the course of a year or a lifetime. Here are 3 hacks that can save you money.
1. Fabric Structures
If you’re looking to buy or build your first home, you might be surprised by how expensive everything costs. Yes, you’ve got the price of the property, but on top of that, you also have lawyers fees, property taxes and of course any maintenance you need to do for your property. If you’re hoping to build, you might find that the project goes way over budget (it almost always does!) which can add a lot of financial stress into the mix. Some people think about constructing temporary housing as a way to reduce costs, but the fact is that often a temporary build costs the same as a fabric structure build. This can be a perfect solution for building your first home, a granny flat for a relative to live in, or even for constructing barns. Due to the fact that the properties are mass designed and produced, you won’t be spending a lot of money for the value you will get.
2. Eating Out
It’s become a bit of a trend to spend more of our income on eating and drinking outside the home. Instead of inviting friends and family over and entertaining them, most of us find it easier to head out and spend up large outside. It could be a good idea, if you don’t already do so, to track your food and drinks expenses over the course of a month. You might be surprised by how much you’re spending! While I do think it’s important to treat yourself here and there, and especially for special occasions, many of us fall into the habit of convenience and eat out daily or at least a few times a week. This is really expensive, and can really impact how much you can save over the course of a year. Setting yourself an entertainment budget is a great way to stay on top of your spending.
