Perhaps you\u2019d like to work on the way that you spend and save your money?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">The fun with making and saving money is that you can be creative and monopolise on really simple ideas that would work well for you. You don\u2019t have to simply rely on your job for your income, you can explore other areas \u2013 even if it\u2019s only a couple of hundred a month!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">In my usual dose of fresh saving tips, there\u2019s one here today that might actually make you some money!<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">FRESH SAVING TIPS<\/h3>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>1. RENT OUT UNUSED SPACE IN YOUR HOME<\/b><\/h4>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Do you have an extra bedroom that\u2019s not being used? Rent it out. In many homes, if times were tough, they could rent out an entire basement or a garden cottage. Are you near a university? If so \u2013 your home could be in high demand for a student looking for accommodation. If you found the right person, this could bring in a lot of extra money and you\u2019d be saving on your bond repayments.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<\/div>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>2. CREATE A VISUAL REMINDER OF YOUR DEBT BEING CLEARED<\/b><\/h4>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Basically, just make a giant progress bar that starts with the amount of debt you have and ends with zero. Each time you pay down a little bit, fill in a little more of that progress bar. Keep this reminder in a place where you\u2019ll see it often, and keep filling it in regularly. It keeps your eyes on the prize and leads you straight to debt freedom.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<\/div>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>3. GET RID OF UNREAD MAGAZINE SUBSCRIPTIONS<\/b><\/h4>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Do you have a pile of unread magazines sitting around your house? Likely, it\u2019s the result of a subscription that you\u2019re not reading. Not only should you not renew that magazine, you should give their subscription department a call and try to cancel for a refund \u2013 sometimes, they\u2019ll give you the prorated amount back.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<\/div>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>4. EAT BREAKFAST<\/b><\/h4>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Eating a healthy breakfast fills you up with energy for the day and also decreases your desire to eat a big lunch in the middle of the day. Not only that, breakfast can be very healthy, quick, and inexpensive. A bowl of oatmeal in the morning is often the one thing that keeps me from running out to eat an expensive lunch later in the day \u2013 and it keeps me peppy and full of energy for the entire morning instead of in a coffee-laced daze.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Also, if you\u2019re having a mid-morning meeting at a coffee shop, you\u2019re less likely to pay for a breakfast\u2026<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<\/div>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>5. SWAP BABYSITTING WITH NEIGHBOURS<\/b><\/h4>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Most neighbourhoods have an army of young children out and about. Because of that, there are a lot of parents out there who are quite willing to swap babysitting nights, saving you the money of hiring one for an evening out. A few families even take this to incredible extremes. Try to find another set of parents or two that you trust, and swap nights of babysitting with them. That way, you\u2019ll get occasional evenings free without the cost of a babysitter, saving you some scratch.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Make saving fun and get creative with the way that you spend and enjoy your money!<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With the first quarter of 2014 safely stashed away, how can you build and improve your financial habits going forward?
