How to Save Money

Creative ways to put more money in your bank account

Are you eager to save money? Many people are. Here are a few simple ways to do that and still enjoy life!

Drink more water
Instead of buying tea or coffee with a meal, drink water. Water is better for your health, and drinking it saves you money.

Don't go out to eat
Perhaps you enjoy hosting parties. Invite your friends over to your house instead of a restaurant. You can have a potluck and play games. It is an ideal way to have fun, but at a lower cost.

Keep your change
Put all of your loose change in a jar. If you set aside just US$5 a week, you can save lots of money over time. Once in a while, deposit the change in the bank.

Know how much you spend
How much money do you spend every week? Don't know? Track your spending. You can use a finance-tracking app like BUDGET. Learnvest or Mint. Then you will know how much money you can spend. If you don't have the cash, don't buy something.

Make small changes in your life, and watch your money grow.
