They say "money can't buy happiness," but it certainly can be a source of stress. Whether you don't have enough money or don't know what to do with the money you have, almost everyone has worries about their finances. In this article, you'll find tips that will help your money work for you, not against you.
Cancel what you don't need. Each month, millions of people throw away money for services and products they don't even use. If you haven't been to the gym in over four months, its time to stop kidding yourself and cancel your membership. If you haven't watched that movie you got in the mail for three weeks now, then cut off the subscription.
If you are looking for the best deals, take the middle man out of the equation. Sites like Expedia and Travelocity can include transactions fees (though some have been reducing them or even eliminating them). Take a look at the prices directly available at the websites of the airlines and hotels you are considering. You may find that it is cheaper.
Buying used can save you a lot of cash. Cars for example, lose up to 20% of their purchase price, just by signing on the dotted line and driving off the lot in it. Let someone else pay for that depreciation by purchasing a car that is a couple of years old. You will still have a low mileage warrantied car, but without the hit to your equity.
Unless you win a grand prize, you'll probably always have to worry about money. However, if you develop good personal spending habits, it'll go from an overwhelming stress to a minor concern. This article has armed you with the information you need to improve your financial situation. All you have to do is use it.
