The Best Way to reduce spending
Want to keep more money in your pocket? Here are some easy ways to save:
- Track Your Spending
Use a free app like Mint or write down everything you buy. You'll be shocked where your money goes! - Use the 24-Hour Rule
Wait 24 hours before buying anything that's not essential. You'll often realize you don't really need it. - Compare Prices Online
Check sites like Amazon, Target, and Walmart before buying. Many stores will price match! - Use Student Discounts
Always carry your student ID. Many places offer 10-15% off just for being a student. - Pack Your Lunch
Buying lunch at school every day can cost $5-10. Bringing lunch from home could save you $100+ per month!
