We are all looking for easy ways to cut down on our monthly expenses! It’s easier than you think with these 4 smart tips to cut your monthly expenses.
Entertainment
You can cut your monthly expenses by spending less on entertainment and finding things to do that are free. No need to stay home and pout as there is a whole world of free things to do like taking a hike on a local trail, taking the kids to the park or going fishing at a local pond. Whatever you and your family are into there is a good chance you can find ways to stay entertained and have fun for free. Look at your local city guide to find free activities or you can even try google by searching “free things to do near me.”
Conserve
It probably used to drive you nuts when your mom told you to turn off the lights when you left a room but it’s true. You can cut down on your monthly expenses by turning off anything that is not in use. Electric, water and utility bills are not cheap so make sure you and everyone in your household is on the same page. To lessen the usage of electricity during the daytime find the places in your home that are facing the sun’s natural light and use them. Adjust your thermostat when no one is home and limit showers/baths to a set amount of time for all.
Dine in
Eating out is a huge expense for some and a great area to look out if you need to cut down your monthly expenses. A typical restaurant bill for a family of 4 is $60 so imagine if you ate out weekly all year long you would rack up a bill of over $3000. Just stay home and make those gourmet meals in your own kitchen!
Conserve water
Besides turning water off when not in use and limiting shower and bath time, you can look into getting an innovative rainwater storage tank to cut down on monthly expenses. Why exactly does your home need a rainwater storage tank? Rainwater storage tanks let you conserve water and can cut down monthly water bills in half. You can use rainwater for your daily chores and even drink and bathe with it if filtered properly.
