11 Easy Tips for Saving Money Saving money is important if you want to be prepared for future financial surprises or hardships and establish peace of mind. But sometimes, finding extra funds to set aside is a challenge. These simple money saving tips can show you new ways to save and fill your savings account up in no time. 11 Great Money Saving Tips 1. Switch your bank account. If your current bank account charges you fees, you might consider switching to a bank that offers you ways to keep your account hassle free. First Bank* offers five different checking account options. 2. Save loose change. Save money by storing loose change in a jar. Once the jar is full, you can cash in the change at your bank and deposit the money into a savings account. 3. Create a budget. By creating a budget, you’ll be able to see where you can cut back your expenses and save money each month.  4. Making a shopping list and stick to it. Instead of going to the store without a plan, try creating a shopping list and not straying from it. This way you won’t be tempted to buy things you don’t absolutely need. 5. Avoid dining out. Dining out is expensive. You can save a ton of money each month by simply eating at home. And if you have to eat out for an event or because you’re running low on time, you won’t feel guilty spending the money because you’ve been saving all month. 6. Cancel cable. As great as television is, cable is an unnecessary expense. If you’re really looking for ways to save money, consider canceling your cable subscription. 7. Make coffee at home. The average American worker spends about $14.40 on coffee per week. By making coffee at home, you could save around $1,100 annually. 8. Cancel unused memberships. Have a gym membership you never use? What about a subscription to a magazine you never read? Look at all of your recurring membership fees and cancel the ones that you’re not using on a regular basis. 9. Shop generic. Often, generic items are just as good as their name brand counterparts. Choosing the generic brand when grocery shopping can save you tons of money on your bill. And to save even more money, don’t forget to sign up 3 min read
How To Make A Budget The best way to save money and gain control over your finances is to make a budget. Follow these simple steps to make a budget that will save you money and bring you peace of mind about your spending. Making a Budget People often set their budgets according to a monthly schedule because most living expenses are based on monthly billing cycles. As such, it won’t hurt to spend one full month making your budget. That way you’ll come up with the most accurate data possible. Record All Your Expenses Keep track of everything you pay each month. This includes: Rent/mortgage Car payments Car warranty Utility bills Student loans Cell phone bill Gas Groceries Insurance (car, health, or any other type) Home warranty Memberships to gyms or clubs Charitable donations Many of your monthly expenses are fixed amounts. But others, such as gas and groceries, will fluctuate from one month to the next. Round slightly up for these as it’s better to come up a little short of the intended number than to go over it. Also, some payments such as car insurance might be quarterly or yearly. Figure out how much it equates to per month and factor the payment in that way. Record Your Income The next step is to tally up how much money you’re bringing in each month. If you have a job that pays hourly or by commission and each paycheck varies a little, round slightly down. It’s better to bring in a little more money than what you intended as opposed to coming up short. Do the Math Now that you know what’s going out and what’s coming in, do the math to determine how much is left over. If the difference is positive (you’re making more than you spend): Great! You have extra money that can be put in a savings account, vacation account, or to be used for fun spending money. Or, use it to chip away at those student loans or car payments. Remember, the faster you pay those off, the less you’ll spend in interest in the long run. If the difference is negative (you’re spending more than you make): You’re operating in debt and the sooner you can curb the momentum, 4 min read
