Save for a Cause

Either you’re working abroad or locally, every one of us is being threatened by the global crisis phenomenon that until now is still startling the business world. So I think it’s a great idea to save something for our future.

Here are my simple tip to save, these are a bit basic tips but saving a little is better than nothing to spend during our hefty time.

1. Walk or bike to your work. Instead of paying for bus or taxi take a walk. Aside from saving, you have an instant exercise at the same time. No need to pay for the gym either.

2. Don't buy lunch every day. Make and take your lunch to work. You can also ask your friends to bringing their own food and let you guys share to each other. Anyway, ordering and eating at food court are a bit annoying since they serve the same menu almost everyday.

3. Cut back on dining out. Cook in your house or if you don’t know how to cook, you can always look in the net for the recipes.

4. Quit smoking! Aside from spending a lot in this habit, you’ll get nothing in return but a disease! So why wasting?!

5. Watch online or borrow DVD. Buying and renting DVD would also cost you a lot especially when you will buy the latest release so why not waiting for quite some time and watch it thru online. You can also find some High Definition movie or either way you can ask your friends to lend you their DVD if they do have.

6. Read online. Find sites that you can read books online instead of buying or you can borrow books from your friends too, just don’t ruin it so you can borrow again. 

7. Don’t buy unnecessary things. Buy stuff only when you need it. Don’t buy clothes when you still have clothes that you haven’t wear or bags when you still have plenty in your cabinet.

8. Don’t shop with an empty stomach. Eat before leaving your place to avoid additional spending aside from shopping.

9. Keep your left over food on the fridge. Don’t throw your left over food when it’s still clean. You can keep it and warm it up in your microwave.

10. Lessen bar hopping. Instead of going there every weekend, try to reduce it to once a month. You won’t die when you skip the dance floor, right?
