This week we started Ativoluntário, a Project that seeks to encourage civic participation, being par…
Today is World Savings Day, so we've decided to help you start or improve your savings!
- Begin
The beginning may be the hardest part, we are still not used to saving and so it may be difficult to leave some money aside, BUT we have to stay focused and so our suggestion is to start slowly and take a small part.
- Write down the expenses
When we write where we spend money it is easier to identify where we are spending more and what we can save, so get a notepad and start writing everything !!!!!
- Avoid debt
Do not waste what you do not have. If your friends go out to dinner and you can not spend money, eat anything at home and go there to drink coffee, save money, do not split and still have fun!
- Set goals
These may be long or short term, the idea is that you have a goal that will motivate you to raise money, such as a trip, a car, something you want to buy.
- Exchange clothes with your friends
Everyone has clothes that they no longer use, if you change with your friends you will feel that you have new clothes without actually spending money, it is a win win for everyone and your account is grateful!
- Eat out
Everyone loves it, but what about our wallets? Take home lunch / snacks, save money, keep leftovers from accumulating in the fridge, and even be healthier than eating out.
- Enjoy the free entries
Always go for promotions and discounts so you can make different programs that you do not have to spend money on. In Cascais you can visit Fort Sto. António da Barra every weekend and without paying admission.
- Sell things you no longer use
If you can not trade things you no longer use with your friends, sell them. Nowadays it's super easy through the internet to sell things, so prepare the machine, take photos and share on social networks.
