But then why aren\u2019t we?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">I have found that one of the biggest secrets to saving is to be creative in the way that you spend, or don\u2019t spend as the case may be. Saving is often hard to do because it\u2019s not an immediate gratification. We are conditioned from a young age that saving involves putting your money in a ceramic piggy bank that only gets smashed when full. You knew the money was in there, you could rattle it around alright, but you couldn\u2019t see it and you couldn\u2019t spend it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Getting creative with the way in which you save money, by not spending it, is an activity that you will enjoy immediately! Then, if you get it right, when the end of the month comes you will see several hundred (hopefully more!) extra bucks sitting in your account that you\u2019re not used seeing. Then, you can decide how you save, or spend, that money on something that you couldn\u2019t have bought last month. This is a creative way to freshen up the way that you manage you money and make it go further.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">So, in tradition, here are five fabulous saving tips!<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>1. DON\u2019T FEAR LEFTOVERS<\/b><\/h3>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Jazz up your leftovers. Many people dread eating leftovers \u2013 they\u2019re just inferior rehashes of regular meals, not exactly enjoyable to the discerning palate. However, there\u2019s nothing cheaper than eating leftovers and with a few great techniques for making leftovers tasty, you can often end up with something surprising and quite delicious on the other end. Also, if you\u2019re planning to have leftovers, you\u2019ll cook a little extra of those dishes that reheat well\u2026 pastas are superb for this!<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/search\/pins\/?q=leftovers%20recipes&amp;rs=ac&amp;len=9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Here are some ideas from Pinterest<\/a>.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>2. GO THROUGH YOUR CLOTHES<\/b><\/h3>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you have a regular urge to buy clothes, go through everything that you have and see what you might find that has been forgotten and relegated to the back of the cupboard. Take the clothes at the back of the closet and bring them to the front and suddenly your wardrobe will feel completely different. Take the clothes buried in your dresser and pull them to the top. You\u2019ll feel like a brand new person who doesn\u2019t need to spend money on clothes right now!<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>3. BROWN BAG YOUR LUNCH<\/b><\/h3>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Instead of going out to eat at work, take your own lunch. Lots of people think that this means \u201cnasty lunch,\u201d but it doesn\u2019t. With some thoughtful preparation and just a few minutes of time, you can create something quite enjoyable for your brown bag lunch \u2013 and save a fistful of cash each day, too.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.buzzfeed.com\/rachelysanders\/awesome-easy-work-lunches\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Check this page out for 27 tasty take-to-work lunch ideas<\/a>.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>4. LEARN HOW TO DRESS MINIMALLY<\/b><\/h3>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Buy clothes that mix and match well and you\u2019ll not need nearly as many clothes. If you have five pants, seven shirts, and seven ties that all go together, you have a seemingly endless wardrobe right there just by mixing and matching. For our ladies, you will have noticed how the shops are now dressing their mannequins in similar fashion. Blouses that work with two different jerseys, a skirt and slacks. Look professional without the heavy price tag!<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>5. ASK FOR HELP AND ENCOURAGEMENT FROM YOUR INNER CIRCLE<\/b><\/h3>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Sit down and talk to the people you love and care about the most and ask them for help. Tell them that you\u2019re trying to trim your spending and you\u2019d love it if they offered any suggestions and support they might have &#8211; and pay attention to what they tell you. They might have some personal insights for your situation that will really help.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">What do you think? Could you apply these to your spending habits to curb excessive spending?<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We all want to save more, right? But then why aren\u2019t we?
