Budget Tips

Here are some easy to remember budget tips that can help you save money in the long run.

Wants vs. Needs
Your basic NEEDS are shelter, food, transportation and clothing. Remembering these can help you save money in the long run by not purchasing items that are complete wants. WANTS are those things that enhance our lifestyle. A car is a need, but a $60,000.00 Luxury Sports Car is a want. This is not to suggest that you should not be able to purchase the things you want, only that to mislead yourself into believing that a want is a need and busting your budget in the process is a recipe for financial disaster.

Coffee Junkies
You can save between $45.00 and $75.00 a month by brewing your own coffee at home instead of purchasing a $2.00 Chai Latte every morning from the downtown coffee joint.

Lunch Time
Bringing your lunch to work, whether it be leftovers from the night before or a tuna sandwich, will save you nearly $5.00 per week. That's $100.00 per month or $1,200.00 per year.

Manicures
The average spa manicure costs roughly $20.00. One per week is $60.00 per month. Save $720.00 per year by giving yourself the weekly treatment at home.

Clip Those Coupons
Purchasing a Sunday newspaper for $1.50 could potentially save you $20.00 or more at the checkout line at your local supermarket. Organize your coupons by type, so creating your shopping list is easier.
