If you want to save money, don't just focus on the major things, but also on the small things. Here are 5 tips to save money every day:
1. Turn off your computer
Nowadays, computers are almost constantly on. Not good for the computers, and certainly not for your electricity bill. Turn it off if you're gone for more than 30 minutes and try to find hobbies that do not involve computers. Fan of blogging? Maybe you can use an iPad instead, if you have it.
2. Be gentle with the toilet paper
Well, if you gotta go, you gotta go. But how much that costs, is almost entirely up to you. Use only what you need. It might be a little adjustment, but it can save a lot of money.
3. Watch your lights
If you are like me about six months ago, you get out of bed, turn on the lights where you walk and turn them off a few hours later, if you see that they are still on. Don't do that. It is a waste of energy. Don't turn them on, unless you really have to and turn them off if you leave the room. Even if you plan to come back to it within a few minutes. Turning it off at all times creates a habit, that will pay off in the end.
4. Keep it cool
Is it really necessary to turn on the heat right after you get out of bed? If you're off to work, you are probably walking around and not really cold. If you have to stay at home, start with keeping it 15 minutes off and try to extend that period. You do get used to colder temperatures, which is also handy if you like to be outside, but hate the cold.
5. Find a cheap hobby
You're bored, so you go to the mall. Sounds familiar? Then it is time to find a cheap hobby. For example: reading. If you're a member of the local library, you can get books for free. Return them in time, so there are not late return fees. Reading is also good for your brains and if you do it during the day, you won't need any electricity for it. Get yourself a nice blanket and settle in, and you won't need to turn on the heater either.
