5. Drive Less
One of the most expensive things we purchase each month is gasoline for our cars. In order to save money on gas try riding your bike if you only have just a short distance to go. You could also try putting together a carpool group to and from work. These options may be slightly more inconvenient, but worth it when you start to see the impact it may have on your bank account. Even if it saves you only half a tank of gas each month and the average cost of filling your car up is about $30, you’ll save $15 a month! That’s almost $180 a year! Imagine the money you’ll save if it costs you more money to fill up your car!
